Creativity

The magic of "Alive Desktop" lies in the ability to place familiar elements on the screen (such as iconic scenes from movies or games). Moreover, this software is not just a desktop application. Thanks to Unity's extensibility, you can create astonishing mods, including multiplayer games or interactive movies, based on it.

Guidelines

"Alive Desktop" aims to make desktop wallpapers interesting and three-dimensional. Users may use this application all day long. To increase the lifespan of your item, consider the following points:

Basics

Ensure that your item doesn't cause any trouble for users:

• If your item contains horror, gore, or any uncomfortable content, label it appropriately.

Optimization

Have you ever complained about poor optimization in a game? Users have varying computer configurations, and they certainly don't want an "Alive Desktop" item to consume all their resources. Consider the following tips for optimizing your scene:

• Unity's official optimization guide
• Typically, Shell/Decoration Items won't occupy too much screen space. Therefore, avoid using highly detailed models, and consider using LOD techniques for optimization.

But...

Forget the rules! You're the creator of your item. Don't let any rules hinder your creativity. Keep that innovative spirit alive! 🚀
