For me, Playmaker is a gateway into a world I’d always considered alien – it’s basically a visual code editor, and for someone who has been using UDK on and off for the past 5-6 years, it made the process of creating functional code in Unity very natural.

looks interesting, thanks for sharing the beta. Testing time it is :slight_smile:

Very cool, I really like it so far, lots can be done with it. What are your plans for playMaker? Retail, donations etc?

Very cool, I was looking for something like this for small projects for handheld :slight_smile:

How much will this cost when released?

great jop
when will you release it ? and how mutch will it cost ?

great.that similar to blender and virtools.how price for it when released?

Amazing, you have my attention for sure!

One of the gratest thing ive gotten :stuck_out_tongue: THX…

This looks very interesting… Wonderful project.

quite nice! Is it for unityscript only for C# as well?

@Esila:
I lived in a beijing hutong for 6 months this year - made lots of good friends. Hope to go back soon!

Thanks everyone for checking this out! We look forward to hearing what you think…

We’ll give the beta a couple of weeks at least to flush out bugs, then submit to the asset store. Price TBD. We want to keep it reasonable for indies and hobbyists. But it will probably be a single user, not site license.

@Mister Edvinas:
Playmaker should work with any of Unity’s scripting languages. I like C#, so the examples use that. I would love to hear about people’s experiences with other scripting languages… we plan to ship samples that use them too.

Looks like a really professional and well made library.
Will definitely be spending time learning it.

Thanks a lot for the contribution!

Awesome stuff - can’t wait to give it a ride. Hope that it’s a bit like Construct / Kismet!
