f$#@ unity2D, let's build an entire game with ngui!

[Lotti]

hi everybody!

Did you ever try to build a 2D game entirely with NGUI? Actually i did it on a jam this weekend... more than 32 sprites constantly moving (changing size and position) on screen. and it runs fine!
The only problem i've got it was with sprite animation.. to make a character change animation between run and idle i had to use two different gameobject and switch between them to activate one or other animation (i used UI2DSprite and UI2DSprite animation because i didn't want to fill an atlas with both game and gui sprites).

What do you think about? Is it possible? There could be some problems with bigger and complex games?

Hi,
This is our game:

Entirely made with NGUI (With an exception for the landscapes, they are made of Mesh created from SVGs)

very cool! I can't download it because i have only an italian smartphone, but it seems good! So i'm not alone in this 2D quest

This is also from us and made entirely with NGUI.

I've developed a few games that were almost entirely NGUI, including a new one that is currently in development:

very cool works guys! thank you for your assistance!

Actually i managed to get best of both world, doing a uiroot script that works for unity 2d. So i don't have scaling problems anymore.

Thank you again!
