Also, does anybody know when was the last time playmaker was on sale?

Cheers.

Historically the Asset Store has held sales around the holiday season, you’ll just have to stay tuned to find out. :wink:

That’s just a “teaser”, a list of stuff that will be in the sale. In the banner up the top it says the actual sale will be on the 20th.

It’s fantastic. Been using it for about 8 years and it always does the trick.

If anyone is interested, as a little “presale” for the sale they are giving out two essential packs with a subscription now (and a discount + t-shirt on top). You can read more here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/fro…ur-plus-pro-subscription.504627/#post-3288299

This is the list of all assets that will be on sale during the Black Friday Sale.

Yeah, on the 20th… But I ju… nah nevermind.

Do you think its the final list of assets?

Weird… I saw Bolt on the video teaser yesterday but I cannot find it on the list.

This is most definitely not final. Archimatix is not on the list to, but the creator states, that it should be on sale. So probably just a big fraction of the sale.

How is Unity handling the asset sale btw? Is it a random selection based on the asset’s popularity / ratings?
Or the author submits an application to be included with the sale?

They changed the topic about this a few days ago.

Basically: They will contact you and ask, if you want your asset on sale, if they think it is interesting and fits the general “theme” of the sale. (At least thats what they say in the article - as I am not a asset store publisher, I can’t say for sure though)

That is good to hear. It’s one of those things that I don’t really have a direct use/need for, but I really want to play with it. :wink:

If you’re excited to pick up some of these great assets you can sign up to be reminded when it is live!

I hope there are more assets than those on sale!

The list grew by one asset today, yesterday there were 60 assets on the list, now there are 61. I think this should be roughly the final list of the Black Friday Sale. It wouldn’t be fair for the publishers, if they don’t list all of them upfront. (Just think about the negative effect of such an announcement on the sales in the week before the Black Friday Sale starts)
I don’t expect to see any other assets officially on sale next week. But I guess more publishers than usual could possibly start [secret sales]( https://discussions.unity.com/t/627032 page-26) next week to counter the effect of the Black Friday Sale.

With nine days left till Black Friday we might see a few more additions to the store but more than likely we won’t see a substantial increase. Most of the reason for this is because developers who provide these assets are expected to provide support on some level. Having more sales may make more money on the short term but in the long term providing support for them may end up costing more than if you had made fewer sales at a high price.
