Unity Asset Store to Reach More Than One Million Users This Year, Celebrates Its Fourth Birthday, and Launches Birthday Bonanza Madness Sale - Seite 2

For many asset creators, the Asset Store has become a primary source of income. "The Asset Store and community have made the continued development of Shader Forge possible to the point where I've now been working on it full time for about a year," said Joachim Holmér, creator of Shader Forge. "It's absolutely amazing to see what people create with a tool of your own making and watch how an actively helpful community forms around it. You rarely have a chance to add an extra tool in an application and you rarely have the chance to distribute it to so many people."

"We envisioned the Asset Store as a democratic marketplace that would give developers, especially indies, a way to acquire high quality assets and technology cheaply while also providing a way to make some extra money on the side," said David Helgason, Founder and EVP, Unity Technologies. "Because Unity is used by so many developers, inside and outside of gaming, around the world, the Asset Store has become a big part of the success the Unity developer community. It's saving developers time and resources, providing access to assets and tools that would otherwise have been out of reach, and has created incredible new streams of revenue for many. We are very proud of what it's turned into just four years after launch."
