I'm giving it a 3 only because it's my fault for not reading the documentation more carefully before purchasing. This is NOT a "core game kit" at all, not even close. My assumption was that all the spawning stuff were just particularly unique features that this kit includes but no, it's the ONLY feature set this kit includes. No input handling, scene management, pathing, inventory management... you get the idea. Nothing that you would call "core" to a game design. Like, zero. If all you need is some very specialized spawning dynamics then this might be useful, but I really cannot understand why anyone would call this a "core" asset when it's entirely inappropriate for the vast majority of game designs. As for my needs, I might use something in here someday, but it was essentially a complete waste for money for now. I'm still going to have to write thousands of lines of code myself to solve the most basic needs. You know, like controller input!

This asset is really good at prototyping but it misses out some good examples with 3D content. Ex. use of the asset and a character controller or use of the asset in an rpg style example. There are only 2D examples to be found inside.

that's time this asset has a lot of bugs and trouble. a little man buy it and I thought CG will die like others. But. they alive in 2022 and still update this kit. this time .this kit is very good to use and freedom. great job. great tool. and great brave.

I just noticed this message: Thank you for purchasing this asset on Jan 31, 2014. Please leave a review. Well i have had this asset for many years and i never released anything with it, however i found it extremely usefull for my rapid prototyping and have used it many times for 2d shooters.. Totally Worth it, and i find it to be very cheap considering the content of the package.

I'm just a beginner in coding C#, but this plugin helped me a lot in making games that I wanted. The support is amazing, giving ideas/solution to my problem. Documentation is awesome, what else could I ask for. This is a must have plugin for a beginner like me.

I am very new to game development. This plugin saved me incredible amount of time and effort. I strongly recommend you start with the Quick Guide FIRST before watching any videos so you understand the basics. Support is outstanding, usually answers within 1-2h!

Easy to use. Saves a lot of time. Good support.

Makes creating games a breeze! I'm using this in conjunction with PlayMaker and Master Audio, and I don't need to write a line of code... which is great as I'm a 3D artist and slightly allergic to code.

Unity 2019.1 I used only the PoolBoss, so can`t comment on the other features. PoolBoss rocks! It really reduces the integration of pooling into a project to a matter of minutes, just replace your Instantiate and Destroy with PoolBoss.Spawn and PoolBoss.Despawn (and pass the params) and done in most cases. I love the visual feedback with the colored pooled items, makes it so easy to see where you run out of pooled clones (or where you have too many unused ones). PoolBoss is technically rock solid and supereasy to integrate and use via script. My only critical remarks: I wonder why you have not added a function that returns the unused available items in a specific category as List<Transform> (you have one that returns the used ones and one that returns the number of unused items, but this one is weirdly missing). Was easy to add, but should be in there already. And a button to delete a category with all items in it would be welcome, since it is pretty tedious to delete a large number of items from a category via the PoolBoss inspector until finally you can delete the category itself. Keep up the great work, this is a very valuable asset. Indeed a core asset, will include it in most of my projects from now on. ***Edit: The asset creators contacted me for details and the next update will include the function I was missing: dedicated developers! 6 Stars.

Over sometime I've acquired a few assets that are must haves for any project I am working on. This certainly is one of them. It is very easy to use, the options in there cover pretty much any pooling scenario necessary, and the developer actively and swiftly responds. For the price, this asset is well worth it, the amount of time it saves is incredible, I just really enjoy how it flows. Recently he added a few options I required for my project which makes it worth even more! SuperB asset and support. It's not just worth a buy, it is a Must Have.
