Good day, Habr! I have been a publisher of the Asset Store for 4 years now and I want to share my experience with you. I'll tell you what the Unity Asset Store is through the eyes of a programmer and what you need to know to create an asset.
So what exactly is this Unity Asset Store ? This is a store where you can buy assets for Unity such as 3D models, sounds / music, UI kits, shaders / particles, sprite kits, and tools. The Asset Store was created in 2010 and not so long ago it turned 10 years old! In almost any Unity project, you can find assets that make the development process more comfortable and faster. If you are familiar with Unity, you have an idea and desire, then you can become a publisher and increase your passive (but not certain) income.
What do you need to create an asset?
- Idea for a future asset. Since there are many sections in the Asset Store, I recommend that you first decide on the topic. Least published assets are in the Localization, Painting and Video subcategories of the Tools section. You also need to make sure that this does not exist yet, and if there is, then figure out how to make the product even cooler.

- 10+ hours of time to create, design and publish. The development of an asset can take a long time, it is important to understand whether there will be enough perseverance and motivation to bring the matter to the end. Some took me 2 days, and I made one asset for half a year, while I wanted to abandon everything and do something else;
- Time to support and help users who bought the asset.
