Unity Icons
Since I’m a nerd and a Unity asset dev, I have tons of Unity installations (even if way less than Jean Fabre who is crazy). So here’s a ZIP with different icons (Windows .ico and OSX .icns) for each Unity major, minor and beta version. Red icons are the ones intended for betas. Download Unity Icons […]
Upgrade guide: from HOTween to DOTween
This upgrade guide is aimed at HOTween users that want to switch to the new (and much much better, if I may say so—and by Jove I can: I made them both) DOTween. The logic HOTween and DOTween share the same logic. They both have Tweener, Sequence, and more generic Tween classes. They both have the same range of settings […]
What is a tween engine?
I used tween engines all my life, and in the last 4 years I even made two of them (HOTween and DOTween —HOTween v2— for Unity). So I can shamelessly state that I’m kind of an expert, or at least I’m in the know. Anyway, one question I get asked very often is: “What is a tween engine?” […]
Combu: leaderboards and more for Unity, on your server

But there was a con, which I realized only later: being an online platform, I had to rely on someone else’s servers for my leaderboards to […]
Unity: a few fundamentally banal tips
I found this unpublished and incomplete post of mine, written in July 2014, on December 2017. Even if it’s pretty old I decided to publish it anyway (keeping the original date when I wrote it), since I believe it can still be useful advice. I hope that soon I’ll find the time to write something more recent, because I […]
My favorite Unity assets
Updated: 27 March 2015. The assets I use (and love) (in strict alphabetical order) 2D Toolkit. Even after Unity 4.3 introduced its own 2D engine, 2D Toolkit managed to integrate with it and is still the best 2D solution with the most efficient sprite management, even if since Unity 4.6 I don’t use it for UIs anymore, but only […]
Unity: pros and cons of coding into DLLs
I think it was a couple years ago, when, annoyed by name conflicts with loose Unity scripts and looking for better code completion, I decided to only code inside assemblies. Less than a month ago, I went back to loose scripts. Unity 4 finally introduced namespaces (even if with a few bugs), and insisting to […]
