A look at last December’s Minifantasy

Hi Everyone!

This post is a little recap of what has been happening in Minifantasy during the last month.

Minifantasy arrives at Unity

During the last couple of months, we have been working on the Minifantasy Unity Packages. After a few weeks of planning, deciding what features to include and testing the assets, the first Unity package is here: Minifantasy - Dungeon. This package contains prefabs for all the elements and rule tiles to help with the creation process. 

We will progressively make Unity packages for every already existing Minifantasy pack. Due to the already high amount of packs, It may take a few months to catch up, I want to thank you in advance for your patience.

The packages will be published on the Unity Asset Store, but the asset packs on Itch will be also updated to include the Unity resources. You will be able to enjoy these updates at no extra cost for all the packs you already own (the dungeon itch pack hasn't been updated yet, I'm still planning the updates and releases). 

Meanwhile, you can free download Minifantasy - Dungeon Unity Package directly from the Unity Asset Store, and if you can leave a review I will really appreciate it! ^^

If you are not a Unity user it may not be very exciting news, but I believe this is a big step forward for the collection as Unity Asset Store is a great stage to reach more people. It will allow me to invest more in the collection to bring you more quality, more features and more assets for all of you.

All the credit to this work goes to Adam, aka LongPawGames. He's the person behind the adaptation of the Minifantasy asset packs to Unity, without his commitment I wouldn't be able to do it by myself. 

I want also to thank all of you for supporting Minifantasy on Patreon, you directly fueled this project allowing me to invest the time and resources on it :)

Christmas Event

During the holidays I published on Itch Minifantasy - Snowball Wars. It was free and only available for a limited period of time. From now on it will only be accessible from the Patreon archive!

This cute mini asset pack swaps blades and shields for snowballs and gloves, to make an epic snowball fight between humans and orcs! It also includes winter tiles and festive props to celebrate Xmas ingame :)

Once again, as the Halloween one did a couple of months ago, this seasonal pack was quite popular during the Winter sales. It's really fun to make these thematic mini-packs during real-world holidays!

Main Minifantasy Asset Pack Release

Minifantasy - Builders

Minifantasy - Builders offer a lot of assets to include a building system in your game, from simple ones to complex systems with several construction stages. It also brings 5 new crafting stations related to construction such as an architect table, stonecutter or brickyard. And animations for the 6 races of Minifantasy humanoids for building and working in the different crafting stations.

With this new addition to the collection, Minifantasy contains enough resources to make a survival game. Minifantasy - Builders, in combination with Crafting And Professions and Farm packs allows the creation of games ala Don't Starve and other top-down survival games.
