Build Versions Itch Release

Due to on-going delays to the Unity Asset Store release of the asset, we took the decision this week to publish that asset on Itch.io ahead of the asset store. This was mostly so people could actually use the asset before the end of the year. Currently the asset is #1106 in the queue as of writing, it has been going down a decent chunk in the last few days. But its still the longest we’ve had to wait for a new asset to get reviewed. So as of this post the asset is avalible on our Itch.io page, which you can see here: https://carter-games.itch.io/build-versions

Other Asset Updates

Some of our other assets got their new versions approved during the week.

Audio Manager | 2.5.4

This update just patches an issue where the auto-scanning feature was not working. This was just a misake on our part as we removed bits of the scanning strings for directories that broke that element of the scanning process, leaving out any files that were not in the root directory.

Transform Colours | 1.2.0

The transform colours asset has its colour select feature update live. This adds a feature that we had suggested in the reviews of the asset as the default colours were not as ideal on the light theme as they work on the dark theme. So this update lets uses change the colours to something more suitable for their needs.

That is all the news this week, our next news post will be in a fortnight.

Build Versions Under Review!

Build Versions Under Review!

We recently annouced a new asset that was going to be released this month, well here it is! Build Versions is an automation tool that is like out other asset totally Free. This tool automatically updates a build number along with some other useful information that you can display in your project.

The asset by default will automatically update the following information in a scriptable object for you to implement if you wish:

  • A unique build number, that starts at 1 and goes up each build you make in your project.
  • The date that the build was made up.

You can also have the asset update the Major/Minor/Patch systematic version number that is commonly used in software development version numbers. Change when the build information updates and whether or not the asset updates the build information.

You can view the documentation here if you are interested and want to get a sneak peak. We will make another post as and when the asset is officially live.

Save Manager Updated!

Improved interface promotional graphic

Summary

Our Save Manager has been updated. This has been a long time coming as the asset had some clear design issues. We’ve address most of these in this update and made some positive changes to hopefully make the asset even easier to use.

The Changes

New Editor Tool Layout.
The editor tool has been updated with a lot of improvements in the layout and functionality. The layout has been simplified to two tabs instead of three. The editor auto loads the infomation from the save data class. The editor also lays out the information in a more concise manor to make it easier to edit values on the fly.

New Operators
We’ve improved the back-end a fair bit to accomide operators. Previously you had to use our Save variats for vectors and colours in your own code to use the manager fully. Now, you can just use the standard vectors and colours and the asset does the rest for you.

New Save Types Supported
We’ve added more support to the asset. We now support the following types on top of what we previously supported;
– Double
– Byte
– Quaternion
– Sprite (In a specific setup)

We’ve also added support for more collection types to accomidate for their use, so you can more save Queues & Stacks of a saveable type as well as Lists and Arrays.

Updated Docs
We’ve been thoguh and totally re-written our documation to better explain the asset out of the box as well as porting it to Notion so ease of editing. We’ve prodiced a .pdf of the page as the offline documation which is much more readable than the old text file.
