This is a followup to https://hackernoon.com/introducing-simmer-industries-c1025f001e68.

It has all the details about my new website, SIMMER industries (update: it’s now SIMMER.io), a place for Unity Developers to upload their content in WebGL format.

The Asset Store Link

I’ve done some informal surveying of developers who sell assets on the Unity Asset Store. The folks who had a link to a web demo claimed that it increased their sales rates significantly.

So, there’s a prominent backlink to the Asset Store that will hopefully help increase sales.

Share

To increase the viral nature, of your content, I’ve added share buttons. The social networks displayed are tailored to the visitor that arrives at your page.

Embed

What if you want your content to be viewed somewhere other than simmerindustries.com? Like a Wordpress blog or a personal website?

Simply click the embed button:

That will give you a custom HTML snippet for embedding:

Warning: Embeds are SUPER alpha and the format is likely to change.

Full Screen

Games can be a drag to play in a tiny window, and that’s why we’ve provided a Full Screen button

Note that on some large screens 4K, etc, that full screen can be a performance hog. I’m looking into solutions like automatic pixel doubling for this.

Description and Comments

Below your game or demo, there’s a description that you can provide, as well as a place for the community to discuss your asset.

Commenters can log in to the comments section with Facebook, Twitter or Google.

Uploading

How to Upload

If you want your own game asset or demo to be featured on SIMMER, simply click the upload button in the top right of the screen.

This will take you through a step-by-step wizard that will help get your asset to us.

Once we have your asset we’ll review, build, and post the asset, usually within 24 hours.

Automated Uploads

The SIMMER Export Plugin for Unity is actively in development, and will allow you to upload your game or demo directly from Unity to SIMMER.

Coming Soon!

I’m hoping to have the automated tool ready by mid August!
