Please note - there are a massive amount of free items out there. It's to the point where I couldn't even HOPE to put them all in one place. This is just a list for you to get started with.
As I've stated before, Game-Guru is not an exceptionally powerful engine. It's primary strengths are really in three or four main areas:
- Community - the community is tight knit and not full of knobs. Very nice people helping each other really is a refreshing change of pace.
- Dev team - despite their size and at times inexperience, they remain dedicated and are constantly improving the product.
- Shaders - this is the cheapest price point to get a shader-capable game engine shy of working in unreal/etc. But those professional engines have something this one lacks:
- Assets. Assets galore. Granted, I'd say maybe 20% are AAA rated, most slot into the serviceable category and a few are in the 'backdrop only' area. But still - for the price of a single 'component' for Unity you can buy an entire artist's 600 piece collection in Game-Guru.
Exceptionally good tools at unity, but the price orients that towards a professional studio.
On the note of 600 piece artist collections, here are the three I had in mind:
But we're not here to discuss paid collections are we? We're here to discuss free ones.
So without much delay - here's my list of free stuff (volume 1) of must-have freebies.
