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 Iām going to try it
Really nice job done here !
I have just run through this plugin, and within an hour Iām 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.
Hi, I put some limitations based on how I use it.
But from my point of view, itās 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: itās 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 youāre willing to lower your price, I believe that the assetās popularity will indeed skyrocket. All the best.
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$)
And you are right, there is a lot of existing tools, but without willing to brag, my tools are often or even better than existing tools. (The free version is enough for most peopleā¦ I guess)
Here are my bullets:
This asset is super light weight. (Around 2MB)
This bunch of tools is a whole, all gathered in coherent structure.
It is completely modular and the sources are included. If you are a programmer, you can adapt almost everything.
There is documentation.
If you look at the changelog, several features have been added after users asked for them. (I donāt think anybody does that)
And now I have to drop the hammer!
The price is based on a sum of all the tools, but you missed my biggest kill-feature, the remote editing.
We are a few in the whole Asset Storeās database providing such a feature (We are 3 4). And most of my concurrents are outdated or can not do what I can do.
One of my user told me one day, this feature itself is worth 100$.
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.
And most of my concurrents are outdated or can not do what I can do.
Well, youāre basically right about this one. While SmartCore comes close, it wasnāt updated for 5 months.
Other āFavoritesā assets are quite buggy under Unity 5.6.
If NGTools works seamlessly with the 5.6 line, I guess Iāll have to bite and purchase it for $50. It is indeed the best batch of tools around.
Humā¦ I never seen SmartCore before, BUT this asset is completely different than mine. I donāt do what it does while it does not do what I do. Can you dig it?
What you are saying about āFavoritesā 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 )
I singled out SmartCore as an example of a major batch of (heterogeneous) editor extensions that is also insanely useful in everyday development. But youāre right, it mostly does different things.
There are some ultra cheap individual assets (Favorites Lists and Enhanced Hierarchy for instance), but some of them are flat broke in 5.6.
Iām slowly becoming a convert of NGTools.
All the best.
