Character Customization with Unity 6

My book about character customization in Unity is updated with the first chapter of the section on Spine 2D that I'm working on. The first half of the book was all about 3D characters, and the second half is about 2D!

I’m curious (I never used XNA at the time), what are you missing in terms of sprite stuff in unity?

That is a wild use of the word ‘just’. Sounds (and looks) ace, is it for both SRPs or just U?

Really slick Harry, are you working on a combo volumetrics / particles plugin?

Started playing a big of Hellblade II the other day, and that first level really inspired me to see if I could get a similar vibe in Unity with a handful of megascans and a bit of HAZE 🌫

Really dig the results, especially for ~1.5 hours of messing around 👀

Help me find this game from my feed will ya, it was a black and white Cult of the Lamb-like game same cult-themed idea but the perk was you could draw in blood for some reason. It’s a one word title, I was captivated by the minimalist style. I know you’re out there devs. #pitchyagame #indiegame

Climbing 🧗 is a little tricky at first, but it's really fun when you're use to it.

Chaotic but fun.🤸
