Hello,
I am not sure where to ask this question, but I thought users were probably the best people to answer my question.
I recently added these 2 sound effect packs in the asset store (Guns & Explosions and Underground Atmospheres), that I have exported using one of the latest version of the unity engine (2018.2.15), and i was wondering if I should re-export them in an older version (like the 5.6), so that game developers using these older versions can acquire them too ? Does that make sense ?
Thanks in advance for your replies !
Best,
Olivier Girardot
you have just wav (presumably 1-, or 2-channels) audio files in your packages - those are version independent, they are imported into the editor regardless of its version since these are supported probably since Unity 1.0 (alpha)
I have no idea what you mean by
though
Do you mean submitted to asset store ? - That will be the version displayed as ‘Supported/submitted’ on the asset store page
So you should submit with lowest version possible - i.e. from lowest Unity version which asset store tools still support
To submit an audio pack to the asset store, I need to export it through the Unity Engine so the sounds are directly usable inside your project.
But someone on reddit told me this: “I think you might lose purchasers because it might turn people off seeing a fairly recent Unity version there. You might want to consider uploading from say the last 5.6 release available.”
Yes mate, you indeed have - that’s what ‘Asset Store Tools’ are for and that’s what I was asking about and their minimal Unity version support I was implying :
Good luck !
AST should be able to submit from as low as 5.0.0
