Text Animator for Unity

Bring your game texts to life with this easy to use and customize plugin. Chosen by thousands of developers all over the world (in games like "Cult of the Lamb", "Slime Rancher 2" and more), Text Animator for Unity is a powerful and flexible tool supporting many games, platforms and genres. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: Text Animator 2.0 is on the horizon! It’ll be a huge update with many new features, like previewing effects in edit mode, new effects, typewriters and much more. It’ll cost slightly more than Text Animator 1.X (still reasonable!), but everyone who purchased the previous version will have the new one for free! (This means that if you planned to wait 2.0, you could also get 1.X now and automatically unlock the new release.) You can also get notified when it launches by going here. Cheers!
