How "Unity Chat" sells well-written plugins to Assetstore

A moment ago I wrote a plugin called Magicvoxel qubicle to Unity, address: U3d.as/tws has been on shelves for half a month. For today, let's take a look at what you need to be aware of when you publish a plugin to Unity Assetstore.

、

before publishingMake sure your plugin is original, never steal the results of others, even if the release of free plug-ins should be original.

Your plugin does not appear in the logo, sports cars can have, but not Ferrari car, mobile phone can but not Apple phone.

Open a new project to test the plug-in and make sure that your plug-in will work without hindrance when you import the package with a new project.

The art class plug-in also must do the test, ensures the material ball all can the normal connection, the model must do well the surface number optimization;

Sound-like materials are best provided with a variety of file formats and sound quality;

The code class plug-in does not report error, needs the API must write the super detailed API;

any code class plug-ins need to write a readme, no matter need to write, do not write not audit;

If your plugin needs to open its own editor window, you must put the open window option on the Tools tab (), and if you put your own tag in the root directory, you will not be able to review it. Note that the tools,t must be capitalized, and the last s of the word cannot be lost.

Your package needs to have a demo, can be a scene, it can be a drag-and-drop prefab, in short, to allow users to test your plugin without development cost, to prove that your plug-in is genuine.

Code class plug-in must use their own namespace, script files can not be used commonly used file names, such as AudioManager.cs, Utility.cs, etc. are not available, to change to Xxx_audiomanager.cs (XXX is the abbreviation of plug-in name).

Make sure your plugin is available anywhere under the assets folder, and some users prefer to put the external plugin in the same folder (not the assets root directory), so you can't write the path dead, to re-cache the resource path when the user changes the plugin location.

Plug-in UI must conform to the normal way of thinking, can do things with code will not pop up a window to call the user to do. Need to wait (such as converting file format, build model, etc.) must have a progress bar, when finished to pop-up window prompt, to let users know clearly what happened, the user engaged in a face of the people will give bad comments ...
