Unity 2D tutorial + BulletML plugin

[Valryon]

Hello fellows,

I worked on several Unity resources than may interest you if you are working on a 2D or 2.5D shmup.

First, a complete tutorial about how to use Unity 2d (4.3+) to make a small shooter:
http://pixelnest.io/tutorials/2d-game-unity/

This is mostly aimed to beginners, as you will learn the basics features of Unity but not complex techniques such as objects pooling. However, our animations chapters are quite advanced so you may have a look.



(The graphics are from an old shmup I did when I was a student, The Great Paper Adventure, released on PC and Xbox 360).

We also released a BulletML plugin for Unity (2d or 2.5d):
http://pixelnest.io/work/bulletml-for-unity/

I guess everyone here is familiar with BulletML .
We use it in our incoming games, two shmups, and so far I'm impressed by the simplicity of BulletML.

Feel free to contact us (here or http://pixelnest.io/contact/) for any question, feedback or feature request.

Ohh ohh you're finally here! I bought your plugin from the Unity Assets store and I gotta say... saved me a lot of headache. Thank you for the plugin.

Thanks!
If you find any bugs or if you have some feature suggestion, please send them .
We're using it in two games at Pixelnest so we should find and fix the most common bugs but we can't check all use cases.

Also, if you like the plugin, consider writing a review, it would help us a lot in getting some rating on the store .

Cool you ported it to Unity.
Sooooo.... Is Kenta Cho seeing any of that $20 you're charging?

We do not sell the BulletML engine, as we explain in our documentation and description.

We use our own open-source fork (https://github.com/pixelnest/BulletMLLib) of a C# BulletML library (https://github.com/dmanning23/BulletMLLib) that we have tweaked and modified for Unity. This fork is open-source, and you could use it instead of the plugin.

So, what's the point of the package? We add our own scripts, a *lot* of documentation, custom patterns and examples. We test the whole thing and we sell it as a "no-scripting required" plugin working in less than 5min.

This is what we sell.

So, no, we do not give anything to Kenta Cho (and we don't even know how to contact him) because we do not sell his work. This part of our plugin is open-source and available to everyone.

Good job on open sourcing it.
