[RELEASED] Editor Companion - A Customizable Virtual Pet for the Unity Editor

Hi everyone, I’ve released Editor Companion, an editor-only Unity tool that adds a small animated pet directly to your workspace. I wanted it to do more than simply loop an idle animation, so the companion follows what is happening inside the Editor and reacts while you work. Features Four included companions with individual profiles Floating, docked, and Scene View Overlay display modes Reactions to Play Mode, compilation, Console warnings and errors, successful builds, clicks, and inactivity Scheduled and repeating reminders Custom Pet Wizard for creating new companions from transparent PNG animation frames Profile import and export Completely editor-only, with nothing added to player builds Custom companions The included Custom Pet Wizard turns transparent PNG animation frames into a ready-to-use companion. It creates the sprite sheets, animations, transparency bounds, click regions, and configuration needed by Editor Companion. A complete Pico example is also included to demonstrate the workflow. Compatibility Unity 2022.3 LTS or newer Windows, macOS, and Linux Render-pipeline independent Editor-only On Linux, transparent floating mode requires X11 or XWayland. Docked mode and the Scene View Overlay can be used on native Wayland. itch.io : Editor Companion - Animated Pet for Unity by IMarin Labs Editor Companion is currently $10 during its launch sale through September 2.
