Multiplayer: MessageManager - Welcome to the longest titled series of tutorials in the world: Multiplayer Unity Games with Zeroconf networking. And let me start by explaining that even though the tutorials will focus on Zero Configuration Networking, the knowledge and most of the code can be used for other multiplayer services, like Unity’s own Multiplayer API or GooglePlay service’s or any third party service provider. This is part 5 of the series.

DevTimeHelper.cs - This one is a must-have for me.. Time scale adjustment! In Editor, press the 1 2 3 4 etc keys to adjust Time.timeScale. Extremely useful for skipping through some parts of your game, and slowing down others to get a closer look.

EventFerry.cs - Unity Events are super handy, but you can't trigger them from AnimationClip Events (ugh). Unless of course, you use this little script! Attach it to the Animator/Animation root object and call "TriggerEvent" with the index.

Physics Performance Tip - So I was implementing my own fast physics in Unity for 20 hours already, it was almost ready when I found this option on google. I unchecked this and the performance of the built-in physics skyrocketed. I "wasted" 20 hours.

Building BIG games (and mmos) w/ unity - If you want to build large scale games in unity, unreal, or any other engine, these are 12 of the important rules you'll want to follow. We'll start with tips that I'd recommend for any type of game, single player, multiplayer, fps, rts, etc.. then transition into a few rules that are very specific to MMOs and online games. We'll talk a bit about solid principles, refactoring, cleaning code, testing, networking, what to trust, and a whole lot more.

Component Save System – A free save system for Unity - “Component Save System” is a free save system for Unity. The plugin was originally made for the RPG Farming Kit, but has been expanded upon to work in multiple projects. The decision to make this plugin free was because there are already a lot of paid alternatives to saving for Unity, such as Easy Save.

Gravia - Gravia is a first-person action puzzle game where you have the power to create small black holes called Rifts. You'll use this power to move yourself at high speeds, solve physical puzzles, destroy obstacles, and hopefully not destroy yourself in the process.
Gameplay in Gravia uses realistic physics to simulate the gravitational effects of having a black hole in a closed environment. From the instant a Rift forms, it begins to pull any loose objects as they "fall" into it. Even reinforced objects might bend and buckle as the forces pull them towards the Rift.
