A modular, extensible growth system for Unity developers. Used for plants, creatures, buildings, vehicles, units, and more - anything that grows and adapts based on changing conditions.Demos and prefabs included in the project use URP materials, 2D sprites, and Text Mesh Pro. If you do not have these packages in your project, it might result in errors, such as materials turning pink. These are optional and only used for demonstration purposes. The rest of the package should be compatible with Built-In, URP, and HDRP pipelines as they are mainly just scripts.As a game designer, you often need to make things grow and adapt based on changing conditions.
