Uni2D V2.1 close to be released!
Check all the new features here :

Full feature list:

- 2D/3D Physics auto generated colliders:
Uni2D unleash the power of the next gen 2D game in Unity by bringing you the ability to combine a true 2D system and 3D assets! Create 2D games like never before!

- Colliders now follow visual deformation… at runtime!
One of the most impressive and powerful feature of this release. Let your creativity explode and create unseen game situation based on a simple draw drive by bones!

- Batchable Skeletal sprites:
Other benefit of the new Hybrid skin system, now deformed objects are batchable! It’s really a great news for the people that work on mobile devices but more important it could be combine with the auto optimization of static skeletal sprites (see below)

- Auto optimization of static skeletal sprites:
It’s certainly the most important optimization that we ever bring!
Create a sprite, deform it, add 2D or 3D physic now your object is now silently optimized. You can duplicate it to create a forest it will then consume nothing until you call them.

- Improved integration with Unity2D workflow:
Support of the 2D layer of unity2D
Native 2D physics support

- Other noticeable improvements:
Improved skeletal editor: Now the sprites keep its position until you press the “reset pose” button
Parallax support: makes Unity2D and Uni2D Sprite move like in perspective with a orthographic camera!
2 new options for the 3D collider generator
Only borders : physicalizing only the border of a sprite!
Subdivision : Allows you to deform a shape in runtime with more controls

V2.0 Hello!

Creating a 2D game is now a game with Unity and Uni2D v2:

  • draw your game and give him life in few clicks,
  • turn your drawings into “GameObject” by a simple drag and drop,
  • add the physic automatically without any use of a 3D modeling software,
  • skeletal and sprite animation support
  • optimize your game with multi-atlasing and grid or mesh render mode

Can i use it for mobiles?

Ah sorry, saw the video after my question and now i knew that it should be possible :wink:

Hopefully when i now open the store i will se a price.

Great workflow with your asset kit

3

Thanks!!

We will annouce a price and submit to the AssetStore soon!

4

Very cool, I love the much more rapid work-flow.

5

Thanks! We’re very excited to release Uni2D on the asset store!!

6

Is this going to include source access or just a precompiled DLL? While I understand not wanting to give away your “secret sauce” I’ve hit issues in the past with precompiled assets that I then couldn’t fix (both from bugs in the asset and from Unity updating and the asset no longer working due to version mismatch).

7

Very nice! Any idea on price yet?

8

@Nickgravelyn: Don’t worry, the source code is included in the plugin package!

@wccrawford: Thanks! The price would be announced soon.

9

Good stuff. Really nice to see creative solutions like this.

10

In the iOS example, I see NPCs moving across the platform. How would that control translate to a PC character? Does this engine handle PC movement as well? For example, can my character walk over variable terrain like the cogs roll over it?

11

I was already interested in grabbing this to make some rapid-iteration projects, but honestly, if you’re including the source, you can have my money now!

Best of luck on the launch, and looking forward to playing around with this to make some quirky games very soon!

12

Same. Source included is a huge plus so I’m glad to hear you guys are including it in the package. This looks like a very promising 2D system for Unity.

13

I just watched the video and I am pretty excited about your plugin!

14

I recently purchased 2D Toolkit and love it. This also looks great and I love the automatic concave vs concave collision, creating my own colliders can be time consuming.

I was wondering what else this has going for it that 2D Toolkit doesn’t / does differently? In particular are there any built in resolution independence / pixel perfect features, particularly for mobile?

I have no intention to stop using 2DTK but I could also see me using Uni2D as well, depending on the price.

15

for first day make price low :slight_smile: i will buy it :slight_smile:

Hi guys!

We are so excited and happy to see all your very positives reactions!

@Ninjuit: Our plugin is currently only focused to physicalize sprites and make the workflow and level editing as simple as possible. But we don’t offer any “2D character controler” feature yet. But we use Ageia for the physic behavior, so you can simply add the Unity character controler component. It’s works perfectly.

@AdamOwen: You are right! 2D Toolkit is a very neat plugin and we love it too!
The pixel perfect feature will not be present at start. But we will make sure to have this feature in the next release.
In fact this will makes perfect sens as we have already planned the dev of a grid system including parallaxe, layering, snapping and other workflow improvement. Thanks for your input.

And one more time, thank you very much for all your comments!

17

Also just want to chime in and say this is looking like a pretty nice tool.

I don’t see myself switching from 2D Toolkit just now but aslong as i can afford it I’ll definitely be picking this up to have a play around.

18

This looks quite good. I’ll be interested in nabbing it day one (price pending, of course).

19

Uni2D is now OUT !
