I know three posts in one day is too much, but this is really important!

I am what I call a "hobby game developer". That is, game development is not my job, mainly because I don't really have the pre-requisite skills to be a "real" developer! This, it may come as a surprise, is not a blocker to making games, partly thanks to the Unity Asset Store. The Unity Asset Store is an Aladdin's cave of great stuff that people have made and made available for use in our games. For example, I have the artistic talent of a house brick, and therefore require the talents of a 3D artist to help realise the vision for our game. Not having one such individual kicking about the house, I was able to turn to the Unity Asset Store and find what I needed, be it character models, buildings, creatures, props or terrain. And I found stuff alright, oh yes indeed, I kept on finding stuff! Looking back through my purchase history, I have a twang of guilt here and there but, you know what, it's a hobby and most good hobbies are expensive, am I right or am I right?

So, I really want to send a call out to all of the amazing developers, artists, modellers, sound engineers and coders who contribute to this amazing game economy. I'd also like to explicitly call out the assets and tools that I have purchased and used in this project, so that appropriate credit is given where it is rightly due. Without further ado, then, here is a complete list of assets used in the creation of this game thus far, along with a link to the author's storefront and to the asset itself:
