We are creating a guide for those who may seek help while just starting their journey as asset publishers, especially in Ukrainian realities. Guide is now avaliable for free on octantastudio.com main page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The guide is published to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Octanta Studio Games – Structured Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula game<\/strong> is our first game, created in Unity and released on Google Play in 2022, completely free. It took ~6 months to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula page: https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.Octanta_Studio.BrotulaRemaster<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula Genre: Roguelike, Survival, Turn-Based Strategy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula Setting and Gameplay: The game is about exploring the underwater world at depths of up to 5000 meters and down to the very ocean floor, playing as a genetically modified creature. The player\u2019s goal is to interact with other underwater creatures, fight them, and, upon victory, either borrow their genes for survival (take samples), collect their caviar (the in-game currency\/energy used to purchase skills), or take their companion \u201cmermaids\u201d for gene breeding. If the player is defeated, the character is lost, and the expedition restarts with a new researcher. During each expedition, players collect genes, which can be integrated into a new researcher at the start of the next run to survive longer. Before encountering enemies, players must develop skills using caviar, skills reset at the start of each run. Skills fill memory slots in battle. To develop characters, skills, and biomes, we studied real deep-sea research documents. For example, to upgrade the mimicry gene and unlock related skills, players need to encounter octopus-like creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula Gameplay in brief: Players progress downward, exploring randomly generated underwater biomes and encountering randomly generated hostile creatures, which they must fight. The goal is to reach the greatest depth possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula Combat System: The combat is a turn-based strategy. Both the player and the enemy have a 9-cell grid, symbolically representing the brain. Before battle, players place different types of skills on the grid (e.g., a cell for the skill \u201cIntimidating Gaze\u201d deals damage). Players plan their setup based on the enemy\u2019s skills, then start auto-battle. Victory goes to the side with the most filled cells remaining. Each skill cell has 1 HP. Healing skills can increase a cell\u2019s HP by +1, attacking skills deal -1 damage, and there are also skills to block or unblock cells. Some cells can be left empty, but they have 0 HP and cannot contribute to victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brotula Design: Visually, the game features the distinctive style of our studio – a monochrome black-and-white palette with a single prominent accent color, in this case, red. It is fully 2D, entirely hand-drawn and hand-animated, with no third-party plugins used. All music and sound design were created by our sound designer, Shvetsb<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium game<\/strong> is our second game, created in Unity and released on Google Play in 2023, completely free. It took ~8 months to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium page: https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.OctantaStudio.com.unity.template.mobile2D<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium Genre: Business Simulator, Alchemy, Roguelike<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium Setting and Gameplay: The game is about a jeweler-alchemist in 15th century Florence who creates unusual prosthetic jewelry in his workshop. He performs operations on clients who come to his hall, implanting the jewelry. However, his work has a dark side – growing raw materials for the jewelry on test subjects. This is a dual alchemical process: the jeweler discovered a formula according to which the human body does not reject precious metals, meaning the body can also grow them from stem cells. Because of this dark secret, the Jolieri family must hide part of their work in the basement, adding a high-stakes element. The jeweler also keeps his main project secret until it is completed – the fully encrusted \u201cperfect human,\u201d whose body is completely covered in jewels. From automatically generated metals of three types (metals, semi-precious stones, precious stones), players craft all possible types of jewelry by combining them in different proportions (e.g., metal + colored stone = ring). Crafted jewelry can be installed on clients, earning money and improving operations. There is also a bargaining system, which allows offering additional services within the client\u2019s budget (e.g., rose oil to maintain the jewelry). Money earned is essential to maintain the life of the test subject in the basement, so they continue generating resources for future crafting. When the silhouette of an inspector appears in the windows, the secret basement must be closed; if the inspector discovers it three times, the game restarts, resetting income and reputation, though unlocked jewelry progress remains. The goal is to craft all possible jewelry and present the \u201cperfect human\u201d to the world without being caught, while managing the public business. A low reputation reduces clients, and insufficient funds prevent supporting the test subject, reducing resources for crafting. The game features randomly generated city events, as well as randomly generated clients. To create the game, we drew inspiration from real unusual jewelry, prosthetics, and armor, as well as Renaissance-era jewelry craftsmanship and surgery. We even visited a modern jewelry workshop to create a complete and authentic picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium Gameplay in brief: Craft jewelry in the workshop, bargain in the jewelry hall, bring clients to the workshop for operations, and spend money and reputation to upgrade both locations. Open or close the secret basement at the right time: while it is closed, no operations can be conducted or profit earned. If an inspector arrives while the basement is open, and player is caught three times, the workshop closes and the player must start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium Bargaining system: Each additional service costs roughly 1\u201310 symbolic coins. The operation and the jewelry itself have a base cost (e.g., 20 coins). If a client has 25 coins, players can choose the optimal combination of extra services to fully utilize their funds. Balancing not just price but also types of services can yield extra bonuses such as reputation, money, or faster operation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jewellirium Design: Visually, the game features the distinctive style of our studio – a monochrome black-and-white palette with a single prominent accent color, in this case, yellow. It is fully 2D, entirely hand-drawn and hand-animated. All music and sound design were created by our sound designer, Shvetsb<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity mini-game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity mini-game<\/strong> is our mini-game, created in Unity for Global Game Jam + Ctrl+Alt+Disinfo, and released on the web in 2025. It is completely free and open-source. Development took approximately 1.5 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity page: https:\/\/globalgamejam.org\/games\/2025\/objectivity-4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity Setting and Gameplay: The game consists of 10 levels as urban storylines, focusing on a photojournalist navigating the streets of a noir city. The protagonist can hear what people are saying, read newspapers, or listen to the radio. Different information sources are represented as bubbles of different colors, which the main character can \u201cplace\u201d onto the camera lens, combining the colors. The goal is to gather data from multiple sources and combine the bubbles to create a balanced lens, through which a photo of the city comes out clear and unbiased – metaphorically forming an objective picture of the world. For example, some social storylines depict authorities presenting deforestation as a necessary sacrifice for progress and job creation, while environmental activists reveal it as money laundering and construction of an elite school unnecessary for the city. The character must consider all perspectives before taking a photo of the city, creating a memory of events. Sometimes the truth lies with only one source, in which case the player should collect bubbles of that color while avoiding other colored propaganda. Pictures taken by the player are displayed in the level gallery in the main menu: if there is a bias, the images appear distorted with a predominance of the wrong color. The player`s task is to find balance amidst this color cacophony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity Gameplay in brief: Adjust the length of the camera beam via mouse scroll to collect colored opinion bubbles. Combine colors to reach a target neutral combination. When \u201cobjectivity\u201d reaches 100%, take a snapshot via LMB hold – the photo may be perfect or distorted depending on your balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity game uses a simplified version of the Dynamic Photo Camera <\/a>asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Objectivity Design: Visually, the game features the distinctive style of our studio – a monochrome black-and-white palette with a single prominent accent color, in this case, blue. It is fully 2D, entirely hand-drawn and hand-animated, except for some AI-generated backgrounds. All music and sound design were created by our sound designer, Shvetsb<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aquarius Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The game Aquarius Age is currently on hold in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Octanta Studio Unity Assets – Structured Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatic Tutorial Maker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatic Tutorial Maker: create customizable learning steps by showing<\/p>\n\n\n\n A tool that automates tutorial creation for any Unity project: recording scene walkthroughs automatically generates visual hints, which can then be customized.

It generates smooth, customizable trails or one-touch effect that follow finger movements and mouse input. The system is particularly well-suited for mobile applications and games requiring touch visualization. The system features platform-specific optimization and extensive shader & sprite customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Target audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suitable projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Effect types and use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Platforms \/ Unity versions: Current version and release date: License and price: Links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini-installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrative Designer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrative Designer: visualize, systematize and enrich the story with AI<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tool for visualizing and systematizing narrative elements directly in Unity. Store characters, plot points, and lore in one place, track character states and relationships, and export files for team communication or AI prompting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What it has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Target audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Platforms \/ Unity versions: Current version and release date: License and price: Links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini-installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technical Digest (Key Innovations of our Unity assets)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatic Tutorial Maker saves a huge amount of time on tutorial development. Instead of manually adding tutorial steps to the script and mixing them with code logic, it automates the process. Consumes +842.4KB of memory in the project. Tutorial recording happens once before the build, and subsequent step-by-step playback of hints has minimal impact on FPS and CPU. The system is based on huge amount of work compiling different input scenarios and corresponding hints so another developer doesn\u2019t have to do it. It\u2019s a complex and versatile system built from simple components to automate routine tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dynamic Photo Camera is not just a screen capture tool; it\u2019s an in-game photography system that crops textures at the edges to capture a specific area and recognizes and remembers objects using raycast and collision detection. These are simple Unity operations, but combined in a complex way to achieve reliable results (not AI-based recognition). The system is designed for user-generated mechanics to add variety to gameplay. Photo data size: typically 25-26 KB per image. Captured photos are stored in Application.persistentDataPath. The photography process briefly reduces FPS by ~20% for a split second, without long-term performance impact or causing freezes. Is initially set for 3D and has been tested to work in both 3D and 2D modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Touch Effect System is a touch interaction system that doesn\u2019t rely on static effect sprites to choose from, but is based on a UI-shader approach. The particles forming a touch effect are materials created from a UI shader, which is mathematically defined. This approach allows Touch Effect System effects to be used in projects with any graphics and render pipeline (UI), and enables customization of touches using simple floats and colors without redrawing anything (shader). The same effect can be customized beyond recognition across different projects, making the system flexible. There is also support for sprite-based particle effects, with a focus on optimization. The system uses advanced caching, pre-calculations, and careful material handling so that rendering an effect takes no more than 0.1ms per Update() cycle. Minimal FPS impact during active touch interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrative Designer is a system created as an alternative to external services with limitations, like Notion or Obsidian, designed to visualize complex narrative elements using Scriptable Objects directly within a Unity project. This storage can then serve as the foundation for a storytelling system in the build. Its uniqueness lies in being tailored for cooperation with an AI assistant. At any time, you can export data about the global context, a local event in relation to others, or a character at a specific moment, and use it in external tools – for example, to have ChatGPT generate a cutscene reference or write character-specific dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unity assets code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example of input versatility in Automatic Tutorial Maker<\/strong> (StepSequencePlayer script)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example of Touch Effect System logic<\/strong> with zero-allocation batch update system + caching (TouchGlowUI script)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unity Assets Case Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For Automatic Tutorial Maker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Dynamic Photo Camera:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Machine-readable blocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
