Text Animator for Unity

Chosen by wonderful games like Dredge, Cult of The Lamb, Slime Rancher 2 and many more, Text Animator for Unity is a powerful and flexible tool that brings your texts to life in very few simple steps.

[Quick note] Text Animator won Unity's Best Artistic Tool Award 2023!! Thank you all so much for the support, it means a lot to us and we can't wait to share all the new things we're working on!

You can animate letters and stack effects together (from built-in to your custom ones), show text dynamically with different speeds (like characters, puntuactions and words), trigger gameplay events when a specific letter is shown and much more! Works in any platform and rendering pipeline.
