An update posted by a developer of Shadowed Souls Studios.
ShadowBox: Icon Studio v1.1.0 has been released and is available now on the Unity Asset Store! This update adds the option to create solid colored icons, perfect for creating UI elements.
ShadowBox: Icon Studio gives you the power to create 1:1 icons from any game object in your project! Whether you need UI icons, icons with transparent backgrounds, frames, overlays, or icons with fancy backgrounds, Icon Studio has you covered.
To begin, our apologies for the lack of updates; we’ve had our noses to the grind stone! The art team has been working hard on the upcoming AFS – Ultimate Workshops and Crafting pack to get it prepared for release.
Meanwhile, I have been working on an entirely new asset – ShadowBox: Game Toolkit. This asset will be the spiritual successor of ShadowBox: Interaction Toolkit, and includes a bevy of new utility modules to enhance your workflow and bring immersion to your games.
Standard modules for ShadowBox: Game Toolkit will include Archivist, Interactions, Menu Master, Stagehand, and UI Toolkit. Here’s a brief rundown on their features.
Archivist: A robust, event driven data serialization manager powered by Odin Serializer. (+U)
Interactions: Add interactive props and game objects to your scenes in moments. (+I)
Menu Master: Easily add graphics quality, audio, and keybind settings to your game(s). (+U)
Stagehand: A powerful scene manager for loading, unloading, and managing scenes in builds.
UI Toolkit: Adds a handful of useful utilities and functionality to Unity’s IMGUI.
These modules will be included in ShadowBox: Game Toolkit by default, to compliment future modules such as Magellan, Fleet Footed, Bag of Holding, Homesteading, Boot Camp, and more!
Stay tuned, folks! We’ve got a lot coming your way.

Level up the immersion in your games with ShadowBox: Idle Actions! Instead of a single idle animation, setting up complex animation controllers, or coding a state machine yourself, let ShadowBox: Idle Actions do the work for you!
ShadowBox: Idle Actions detects when your player or their companions haven’t moved or been interactive, and chooses from a defined list of available Idle Actions to perform. Each idle action has two states; on entering, and on exiting. When entering or exiting an idle state, you can play an animation and/or sound clip, and invoke UnityEvents. Get it on the Unity Asset Store today!
We’re back again, this time with a very useful utility to help you generate icons for your games with a few easy clicks! ShadowBox: Icon Studio enables anyone to create icons of their game objects within seconds.
Want to add an overlay? No problem! Spice up your icons even further by adding a foreground overlay to add layered effects! Need transparency instead? ShadowBox: Icon Studio has you covered, regardless of the style you choose.
Simply enter the studio scene, place your object(s), scale and rotate them into the desired position(s), and let ShadowBox: Icon Studio do the rest. Available now on the Unity Asset Store.
The long awaited update is finally here; Enviro for RPG Builder is finally released. Bring the beautiful weather and skyboxes of Enviro Lite, Enviro 2, or Enviro 3 to RPG Builder in moments and elevate your scene to a brand new level.

We put together a small demo to showcase UMA for RPG Builder 2.0.0, currently pending approval on the Unity Asset Store! Check it out here! https://www.shadowed.games/UMAforRPGB/
It has been far too long since RPG Builder 2.0.0 was released, but after a long upgrade process, (we recreated the asset from the ground up!) UMA for RPG Builder 2.0.0 has been submitted to the Unity Asset Store for approval! While you wait, check out the new tutorial video!
Our apologies for the brief downtime. Our server move coincided with a three day weekend, and was poorly executed. All services have been resumed, and development is once again full steam ahead.
Stay tuned for exciting updates!
