Gallery Screenshot Windows Phone 8

The latest version of Gallery Screenshot now supports Windows Phone 8. You obviously need to be running Unity 4.2 or later to support WP8, and as such I have included the plugin libraries in a zip file with the latest update. That way if you running an old version of Unity you won’t get errors when you import the plugin, and if you wish to use this feature you can just unzip them to your Assets/Plugins/ folder.

Tiltball 2D Game Template

tiltball-website

A template for a 2D roller ball game, designed for mobile and tested on Android, iPhone & Windows Phone 8. Uses the phones accelerometer to move the ball through the maze, look out for teleports and time boosts to complete the level before the clock runs out!

Includes an easy level builder so you can quickly build levels with no programming at all!

GameTemplates.co Launch

I’ve been building up a rather large collection of game templates over the past few years, and recently decided to collate them all in one place where people can access them: GameTemplates.co

Hand crafted game templates for Unity3D, Flash and HTML5.

If you’re building a game based on an existing or well know game mechanic, you can save a lot of time by working from a ready made game template. There’s no point reinventing the wheel! All the templates on GameTemplates.co are ready to play, and some of them can be completely modified with no programming at all. Perfect if you’re looking to create an educational or training resource.

I’ve also set up a dashboard for developers, so if you’d like to sell your template on the site, get in touch via contact@gametemplates.co with a demo of your game and we’ll see if it’s suitable for inclusion!

Pipes 2D Game Template

Pipes Game Template

I put together a 2D game to test the capabilities (and ease of use) of the new Unity 4.3 2D Sprite features. It’s basically a classic sliding tile game mechanic, route the pipes from the inlet to the outlet with no breaks to complete each level. Tested and working on Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8. It’s now on the asset store if you want to take a look:

Gallery Screenshot

I put together a plugin for Unity iOS and Android the other day and decided other people might find it useful, so its now on the Asset Store.

http://u3d.as/4pz

From the documentation:

“This Plugin will take a screenshot of your app, and register the file so that it appears in your picture gallery (camera roll) on both iOS and Android. Tested and working with Unity 3.5.7 & 4.3 (including free version). Also works great with Vuforia.”
