There are only a few days left in Unity’s 10th Anniversary MegaBundle X that we previously discussed here. Taking a quick look through the assets in the bundle it becomes clear that there are a number of assets that would be perfect for people looking to create a racing game. Today we are going to look at the following assets from the bundle:
Quickly and easily create and populate road networks using a simple spline based approach, both in the editor and dynamically at run-time, with a terrain aware system.
A collection of toon shader styled racing cars, rally cars and monster trucks. It also contains several props, track pieces and more for creating a full racing game with a consistent art style.
They’re trees. Oak trees. There are 5 of them, enough said.
The above links contain affiliate codes that pay GFS a small commission if you purchase anything (thanks so much if you do!). Of course be sure to use the Bundle Link and not individual asset links to get the savings, at least until November 12th. You can learn more and see all the above assets in action in the video below.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Unity Asset Store, Unity are running the Mega Bundle X sale. This is a collection of assets organised into tiers, very similar to a traditional Humble bundle. If you buy a higher dollar value tier you get all of the assets in the lower tiers as well. The tiers of this bundle consist of:
10$ Tier
25$ Tier
36$ Tier
Be sure to use the bundle link and not the individual links above, as the sale pricing is only on the bundle itself, individual assets are all still full price. You can learn more about the bundle in the video below. Links to the bundle, including this one, contain an affiliate code that pay a small commission to GFS if used (and thanks if you do!).
I didn’t even realize this was a thing, but as a programmer, I’m not going to complain. Apparently September the 12th, the 28 th day, or 0x100 in Hexadecimal is the Day of the Programmer, at least in Russia where it is formally recognized.
To celebrate this someone… arbitrary day, Fanatical are giving away a couple of ebooks of interest to developers, Learn Java 12 Programming, Expert Python Programming and Beginning C++ Programming. Additionally they are giving a 20% off discount code for their long running Packt Book Bundles, that we previously covered in more depth here and here. Simply log into (or create) a Fanatical account and “buy” the three books for free. Be sure to get them before this expires Sept 18th!
