Awesome. Just couple of questions.

  1. How much? :smile:
  2. Have you tested it on mobile? What’s the performance like?
  3. Is it Unity 3.5.7 compatible? (this one is the deciding factor for me)

hi, the price is going to be $15. i tried to beat UFPS but their price is crazy! i can’t believe anyone selling a working game system for only $10. even their nearest competitor price is $45.

i have tested it on my iPad and run the FPS tools from the unitywiki, i got stable 30fps. im pretty sure it runs smoothly on 60fps. it all depends on the draw calls from your art and particle explosion.

awww, i uploaded it to the assetstore with unity version 4.0. may i know why you dont upgrade your unity to version 4? version4 is much awesome and it supports iOS/mobile basic too.

$15 sounds very reasonable. Definitely top of my shopping list.

Thanks, may I ask which generation of iPad?

Because I (and many other developers) are still stuck at Unity 3.5.7 because we bought Unity Pro and IOS Pro. Its a hefty investment ($3000) and we (like many others) are trying to get our return of investment first before upgrading to the next version (plus there wasn’t any compelling reason to upgrade for us).

Also, it should be easy to make it 3.5/4.0 compatible - You can download older version of Unity here :
http://unity3d.com/unity/download/archive

And then load up the project, SAVE IT IN 3.5.7 AND PUBLISH - then it should be compatible for both versions.

Looks great, 15 dollar is fine.

Don’t confuse price and value, I’m sure many items in the asset store would cost more if they could only sell it one time to one customer. because you can sell to 1000’s of customers the price can be lower than the value.

hi, im sorry, i was’nt sure before why you don’t upgrade your unity and now im understand. thanks for clearing that up.

edit: im running it on iPad 3. but it should work fine on earlier iPad

im downloading the unity 3.5 now and will update the asset with 3.5 support after this Asset is live. can i have both unity 3.5 and unity 4.0 installed on my macbook?

thanks, good to know that my price is reasonable.

Yes, yes you can! :slight_smile:
From Unity’s documentation :
Installing Multiple Versions of Unity
https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/InstallingMultipleVersionsofUnity.html

sure! i will surely give you an update when i have successfully uploaded the 3.5 version. thanks for the tips BTW!!

cheers

hi, im sorry to disappoint you. i have tried downgrading the project to 3.5 but failed. all the playmaker templates that i’ve made have been upgraded to unity4, i keep getting fatal error every time im importing the templates. i cant even copy the FSM. the only way i could do it is by remake it from scratch.:frowning:

:frowning:
Can you recreate the FSM?

i think i should, but it will take a long time. i’ll figure out something. but in the meanwhile, its gonna be with unity 4… hmmm

Please do, or else you will make my kitty sad… :frowning:

hi, i just uploaded the demo to my dropbox. feel free to test the Kit.

QS :smile:

thanks. check it out. you can find the demo link here http://bit.ly/17BEpSx

send a pm, please help.

I bought it a couple of days ago, but havent used it yet!
I have the art assets from a canceled shmup we were working on and i hope to resurrect it!

Thanks for the good work!

hi nukeD. glad you liked it. however we have encountered an error with the latest playmaker update 1.7.4 and i have submitted a fix for it to the assetstore team. but it will not be available in the store until the assetstore team approves it. usually it will take a week.

if you want to use it with playmaker 1.7.4 ASAP, send me a pm and i will give you the updated version of the kit, so you don’t have to wait for the assetstore to publish it.

Still looks interesting - I’ll wait for the update, or for the price to go back to the original one :wink:
