    2D Volumetric Lights recently went free and open source. The asset seems to be in a very good place development wise but the developer says they just can't dedicate as much time to it anymore. That being said, according to the developer, it's not abandoned and he will try to work on it more in the future.

    Drawing Engine
    Was: $10 ($5?)
    Now Free


    EDIT: As of March 23, this is now $5 again, so I guess it was a temporary free offer.

    Well, it looks like they are back in the Asset Store and specifically made it free. It is no longer called "Rain One {Indie}" or "Rain One Free"... it is just:


    RAIN AI for Unity
    Originally $150 (I think?)
    NOW FREE

    Why do you think it might become paid again? It doesn't interface with the Unity Mixer at all even in the new version, does it? Seems of little usefulness if not...

    Regarding SoundManagerPro 3, from the Asset Store page*:
    Looks like it'll be permanently free :)

    *you might want to remove the %21 off the link, otherwise it will forward you to the Asset Store main page

    Just go to each category/section and you can sort by price. That works for me.






    That Scribble Physics is great! Awesome find mimminto! Thanks!

    Yeah, but sometimes you're searching for a specific type of asset (say AI scripts) and it turns out it can be just as well in some weird place. I've found AI-related things in Editor extensions, Terrain, even UI (lol). Sorting by price when searching globally or not would be useful and I think it's a regression, since I faintly remember seeing such feature when I started my adventure with Unity few years ago.

    Cool. Is it as good as say, GameMaker's editor?

    This one is not from Asset Store:

    Arcade Sound Machine
    Originally - $15

    Now FREE!


    Retrofy your Unity Games!

    ArcadeSoundMachine is an Unity extension that brings those retro 8-bit sounds to your game. It is realtime synthesizer that emulates the cool sounds found on the old consoles and arcade machines and is based on the C# port of DrPetter's great sfxr tool.

    The unique feature is that the sounds can be loaded from simple parameter string so the effects are really memory efficient compared to WAV, OGG, MP3-files as the Unity's AudioClip is generated on-the-fly at runtime. Added bonus is that it is easy to share generated sounds using these one-line strings.

    Mixamo's Magic Pack and Melee Axe Pack are now free.

    Not sure how long that will last, as other Mixamo animations have been pulled from the store.

    Yeah maybe it means the products (at least Fuse) has now some known internal death date set in somewhere in future so maybe it would be "legally" wrong to charge for it. Will probably be re-branded and/or merged in to other stuff and then you have yo pay again (in Adobe CC).

    Here's one for you guys...

    Multi Material Mask Shader
    Originally $35, Now Free for all.

    Due to lack of interest on the store I can no longer update or support this asset, so it's been made free for everybody.

    You would think so. But no.

    Somehow, defying all logic, NGUI is still the #1 plugin by "popularity" in Editor Extensions, even though uGUI has been out a long time.

    I understand people still using their already-bought NGUI when they already made huge UI's with it for whatever game they're finishing. But why would people still be buying additional copies of it in such large numbers?

    I can't explain it.

    Perhaps it takes some time, you know, especially if they are just listing most popular assets depending the all time sales. Of course that would be silly, but if thats the case, ngui might be there for looooong time :)
