For example, we recall a detective game built around phone messages. At one point, the screen โcrackedโ from the playerโs touches - that effect really stuck with us, so we added it to Touch Effect System.

Touch Effect System and Automatic Tutorial Maker share a common principle - they respond to player actions so the player doesnโt get lost. ATM waits for the correct clicks. TES reacts to any clicks with lively visuals. A few words about their integration โ

There was an email from Google Play about vulnerabilities in older versions of Unity. Weโve updated Brotula - the dives are safe now.

* Use a sprite-based effect as a base (TouchGlitter.prefab)
* Add a list of 2D textures
* Add a list of colors
* Set Mode = Trail - otherwise, the effect will appear only at the touch point, not as a trail
* Adjust other settings as needed - you can even overlay it with a shader-based effect
Besides shaders, sprite-based effects too
The video shows a Japanese mobile game where touches leave sparkling trails. This engagement element makes gameplay (and in-app purchases) more enjoyable. With Touch Effect System, easily recreate the same effect in your own app:

The video showcases a selection of effects from the Touch Effect System for a mobile visual novel. One material from the UI shader = dozens of variations.

Why UI shaders? What makes them special:
Visual flexibility, minimal size, performance, universal compatibility. Read here:

๐ If you own TES purchased through the Unity Asset Store, reach out for a custom touch effect for your project: octantastudio@gmail.com
Write: โHereโs what Iโm working on. I have the Touch Effect System. Iโd like toโฆโ
And weโll either release an update or guide you on how to implement it yourself.
The uniqueness of this system is that itโs a system, not just a set of static images. Every particle is shader-based, which makes it easy to adjust visuals: color, shape, glow, animation, even the number and distortion of cracks in โbroken glassโ effect. Sparkles can be replaced with other sprites.

Weโve prepared 25+ prefabs for different scenarios, the main ones being:
* One-Touch, triggered by a tap (basic glowing circle, a random splash shape, or a pattern that looks like touching a force field)
* Trail, following movement (e.g., a heat trail or a slash like in Fruit Ninja)
* Accents

This is an asset for beauty and UX. You take an effect, add it to the Canvas, and it responds to touches/clicks.
#gamedev #unity #assets #vfx
And ATM now integrates smoothly with our new asset, which shouldโve been released already, but is still stuck in moderation. Weโll share more news in October ๐
Get Automatic Tutorial Maker here: u3d.as/3tsL
Have released an update for Automatic Tutorial Maker. After 7+ months on the market, itโs already shaping up into something like an LTS version. We fixed issues, taught it to detect Canvas type during generation (World Space / Screen Space).

Simply great to work on something you know well and thatโs useful to others in bringing creative and technical ideas to life.
For example, we implemented for specific users:
* a flexible in-game photo input system
* split-screen support
* full screen capture
Asset page: u3d.as/3qTN
About half a year ago, we released our Unity asset - Dynamic Photo Camera. Since then, itโs been through many updates and weโve had the chance to collaborate with different devs. This is a small post of appreciation.

This collection is designed with a unified style and operates on the principle: record > showcase. Shots, sequences, stories. Each asset can be purchased in the Asset Store, supported on Discord or via email. Let's call this collection CaptureS. If there are requests - there will be updates.
