Instead of asking "which engine is best", ask a few questions that actually have answers: what am I making, where will it run, and how do I like to work. Everything else follows from those. assethoard.com/blog/what-game-engin… #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

In AssetHoard it's so convenient to see all the 3D models in your assetpacks. Not only can you pan + rotate, but you can change the scene to see how the model responds to sun, night, and indoors. check it out assethoard.com #3dart #gameassets #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Asset Hoard @assethoard.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Look inside a .unitypackage before you import it. AssetHoard lets you peek inside the contents for preview, so you can see the materials, textures and meshes it actually contains. Pan and zoom on any material to check the detail up close. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #unityassets #gameassets

A slightly technical write-up on how AssetHoard peeks inside and renders assets in zips, rars, and tar/gz archives without extracting them first. Read it here -> assethoard.com/blog/look-inside-arc… #gamedev #indiedev #rust #gameassets

Asset Hoard @assethoard.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Every 3D asset now lists its external associated resources. Albedo, normal, roughness, AO, whatever the model references, all grouped with the mesh instead of scattered across a folder of similarly named PNGs. #gamedev #indiedev #gameassets #3dart

Asset Hoard @assethoard.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Thanks for reporting this! All fixed, it'll be out next release (~8 days time) in version 0.1.21!

Play audio out of a .unitypackage without importing it. AssetHoard reads the package contents directly, so every sound effect and music track inside is previewable in the library. Click, listen, decide whether it is worth the import. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #gameaudio #unityassets

Asset Hoard @assethoard.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

@stratashi.bsky.social let me look into it. We should resolve and pluck out the required resources. I'll look today to see if there's a bug.

Want to see what's inside the zip? 2D previews now work inside archives. Aseprite files, sprite sheets and layered art all render from inside a zip, rar, tar or gz. Frames, tags and animation playback included, without unpacking a thing. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #aseprite #gameart

Spin a 3D model without unpacking the archive. AssetHoard previews models straight out of zip, rar, tar and gz. Pan, zoom, orbit, and play back any animations baked into the file. Same as if it were sitting uncompressed on your drive. #gamedev #indiedev #gameassets #3dmodels #blender #3d

A 3D model is never just one file. It points to textures, maps, a .bin, a web of dependencies. AssetHoard now shows every one of them on the asset, so the whole render is visible at a glance. It even flags which are still sitting on disk, unimported. #gamedev #indiedev #gameassets #3d #3dart
