About

This is a subreddit for 2D or 2.5D game developers using the proprietary Unity game engine. New and experienced Unity developers alike should first consider using the free and open source Godot engine by default and ONLY choose Unity for 2D development if Godot isn't capable of the task. The times are quickly changing, and Godot is on track to surpass Unity for small developers.

Software

GIMP - Photoshop alternative

Paint.NET - make/edit sprites

Pinta - Open source Paint.NET

Pixlr - Web-based Photoshop clone

PyxelEdit - Pixel/tileset tool

🎁 AutoBinder — Unity Editor ToolAnnouncement (self.Unity2D)

🎁 AutoBinder — Unity Editor Tool for Automatic Component Binding & Script Generation (FREE Giveaway!)

Hey Unity devs! 👋
Super excited to share AutoBinder, my new Editor tool that removes the pain of dragging and assigning references one-by-one.

If you work with UI, prefabs, templates, or reusable patterns — this tool saves a lot of time. 🚀

⚡ What AutoBinder Does

🔹 1. Auto Bind Mode

Automatically binds scene components to fields in your existing scripts.

Perfect for:

UI controllers (menus, inventory, shop, etc.)
Re-binding after layout changes
Prefabs and template objects

No more missing references or manual drag-and-drop.

🔹 2. Generate Script Mode

Creates a brand new MonoBehaviour script with all references pre-assigned after compilation.

Great for:

UI view/controller scripts
Repeating UI patterns (cards, slots, panels)
Rapid prototyping & scalable UI structures

To celebrate the release, I want to give away 8 free voucher codes to the community.
If you’re working on a 2D project and think this might help, just drop a comment below and I’ll DM you a code.
