Hello All, I'm interesting in feedback on my new Unity + Roku project. 

Whole idea is to make Unity3d Editor as main asset editor with support of animations and object tree (scenes/prefabs).  

I will put part of my project guide pdf, I need your opinion how to push this project! thank you.

How many of you know Unity3d?

Abstract

After few projects on Roku platform it was clear that making robust animation is really complex and some even impossible. Unity3D provide great platform to create game assets as well as re-import existing assets from massive Unity Assetstore. Roku Yov – is unity editor plugin which provide set of tools to re-import existing “pure” unity assets including animation and export to resources which will used on Roku device. The “Roku Yov” unity package provided with code on BrightScript which load and execute exported resources on Roku device.

Environment

Roku device

Please follow official guide: https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/getting-started/developer-setup.md. After you complete the setup of your Roku device make sure that your developer PC or Mac connected to the same WiFi network as Roku device and you know Roku device IP address.

Developer PC or Mac

On your developer machine you will require to installed: Unity 19.4.0.f1, latest VSCode from https://code.visualstudio.com. Inside VSCode you have to install “BrightScript Language” extension to support debugger and deploy to your Roku device.

Package setup

After you did receive/install the Roku Yov and import into your Unity Editor (19.4.0.f1) you would have already setup project which you could learn from about provided tools of Roku Yov.

First step which you need to be done is to unpack `Assets/Roku/roku.zip` to any folder out of unity project for example to user `Documents` folder. As result you will get folder `~/Documents/roku` which contain pre-setup Roku project folder. This folder need to be open with VSCode. Next step is VSCode `launch.json` file modification of host and password fields shown at image below with IP address of your Roku device, in my case it’s 192.168.2.185 your Roku device IP address you could find on Roku device itself (Settings→Network→About→ IP address).

Setup is done. Now you could hit Run (F5) and run build on Roku device.
