NG Tools - Edit your build from Unity Editor!

Hello everyone!

I am glad to present you my very first plugin for Unity!

NG Tools Free

Asset Store | Documentation | Support | Contact

NG Tools is a package containing 20 tools to greatly improve your experience through Unity.

Feel free to contact me, I am open to any suggestion to improve or add new tools that might interest you (and potentially everyone else).

Also, if you buy it, I can personnally train you via Skype and share screen. I can guarantee it, if you know how to use all of these tools, your workflow will never be the same.


This tool looks awesome !
Even if it appears to be a little bit complicated to use, there is so much features that I think Iā€™m going to try it :slight_smile:
Really nice job done here !

I have just run through this plugin, and within an hour Iā€™m able to see my remote hierarchy from both Android/iOS and play with the GameObjects on the fly! It is really well done.

Developer as well is very responsive and quick to reply to my questions.

New update of the plugin with a presentation video! Enjoy!

NG Tools Free has been released!

You can now use it freely, and if you are convinced that this package is worth the penny, the Pro version will unlocked all the limits!

Version 0.8.34 released on Asset Store.

More stable and more features!

Try the free version to set up your mind.

Hi, is the free version a limited teaser only, or is it useful in itself?

Hi, I put some limitations based on how I use it.
But from my point of view, itā€™s completely usable.
Limitations are like, max 4 profiles, 15 secs, 3 this, 4 these, 4 those. And most of the time, these are enough.

The only real limitation is the remote editing, which is read only in the free version, this feature is exclusive to the pro.

So I played around with the Free one for an hour: itā€™s a powerful tool and would buy in an instant ā€“ if it was more realistically priced.
56 euros is a bit steep when there are several free or cheap tools that do some of these tasks: favorites, hierarchy, console, inspector etc.
Competition is getting stiff here: I mean take a look at SmartCore 1.11 for instance, which is now free AND open source.
If youā€™re willing to lower your price, I believe that the assetā€™s popularity will indeed skyrocket. :wink: All the best.

Well, it is open to debate! And I am open-minded. :slight_smile:

I guess if all the tools you listed was cheap, buying all of them would be still less or maybe around the price of NG Tools. (50$)

And you are right, there is a lot of existing tools, but without willing to brag, my tools are often or even better than existing tools. (The free version is enough for most peopleā€¦ I guess)

Here are my bullets:

  • This asset is super light weight. (Around 2MB)

  • This bunch of tools is a whole, all gathered in coherent structure.

  • It is completely modular and the sources are included. If you are a programmer, you can adapt almost everything.

  • There is documentation.

  • If you look at the changelog, several features have been added after users asked for them. (I donā€™t think anybody does that)

  • And now I have to drop the hammer! :slight_smile:
    The price is based on a sum of all the tools, but you missed my biggest kill-feature, the remote editing.
    We are a few in the whole Asset Storeā€™s database providing such a feature (We are 3 4). And most of my concurrents are outdated or can not do what I can do.

One of my user told me one day, this feature itself is worth 100$.

My only solution would be to split all the tools.
But this point is not open to debate, because it would force me to manage around 20 packages in the Asset Store.
As you might have read, I test them in all version of Unity. From 4.5 to 5.6 and 2017.1.
This is huge work.

Edit:

  • And I forgot one last bullet.
    I answer to support question/email blazingly fast. You can check my reviews or the post above yours, I answered him in a minute. :slight_smile:

Well, youā€™re basically right about this one. While SmartCore comes close, it wasnā€™t updated for 5 months.
Other ā€˜Favoritesā€™ assets are quite buggy under Unity 5.6.
If NGTools works seamlessly with the 5.6 line, I guess Iā€™ll have to bite and purchase it for $50. It is indeed the best batch of tools around. :wink:

Humā€¦ I never seen SmartCore before, BUT this asset is completely different than mine. I donā€™t do what it does while it does not do what I do. Can you dig it? :smile:

What you are saying about ā€œFavoritesā€ is interesting, if you find any bugs under 5.6, contact me, I will fix them right on the spot. (Without regarding if you are Free or Pro user)

There is an interesting tool called NG Hub. You should give it a try. (Try the Dock mode :slight_smile: )

Hehehe, you made my day sir. :smile:

I singled out SmartCore as an example of a major batch of (heterogeneous) editor extensions that is also insanely useful in everyday development. But youā€™re right, it mostly does different things. :smile:
There are some ultra cheap individual assets (Favorites Lists and Enhanced Hierarchy for instance), but some of them are flat broke in 5.6.
Iā€™m slowly becoming a convert of NGTools.

Favorites List is 3$, Enhanced Hierarchy is 10$.
13$ out of 50.
And these are only 2 tools out of 20.

Iā€™m telling you, you will run out of money before midnight. X)

Hehehe, I knew my bullets would hit you!

For the time being, I wrote a 5 star review on the free version. :wink:

And I am telling you, I need at LEAST 1 hour to present my tools through Skype. (And I am talking pretty fast and I canā€™t even go into details)

You will discover a new thing everyday for the next 30 days at least. :slight_smile:
Also, read the doc, it helps a lot.

Edit:
And by the way, thank you for the review, I highly appreciate! =D

Yes, I have to confirm that the NG Hub Dock is one of the best things Iā€™ve seen in any tool. :slight_smile: Will buy.

I always hated that Unity wasted this space, I knew I could do something, fill this place with power, harmony and poetry! XD

I suggest you to add the Scene Component in NG Hub, this changed my life for the twentieth time. :slight_smile:

I donā€™t know if you watched the presentation video, it is a bit long, but the 7 minutes is worth watching.
