  3. 3Compatibility and requirements.
  4. 4Usage examples or demo scenes.
  5. 5Support and updates.

Writing Tips:

  • Explain exactly what's included with counts, formats, and variations.

  • Keep paragraphs short and scannable.

Example Description Template:

Bring believable results to your project with a curated, ready-to-use set. You'll get multiple variations, clear folder structure, and support for common Unity pipelines (URP/HDRP or Built-in). Designed for quick iteration, this pack blends quality with performance and ships with a small demo scene and usage tips so you can drag-and-drop and ship faster.

Image & Screenshot Guidelines

Visual quality directly impacts conversion rates

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from others' errors and optimize from the start

Thin or missing description

Impact:

Buyers can't tell what's included or if it fits their project, so they bounce.

Solution:

Write 120-250 words covering what it is, what's included (counts, formats), compatibility, and practical examples.

Too few or generic preview images

Impact:

Low confidence and poor discoverability on category pages.

Solution:

Show 6-10 images: hero shots, close-ups, real in-engine views, and a simple infographic of what's included.

Missing or irrelevant tags

Impact:

Search and category filters won't surface your asset to the right audience.

Solution:

Add 8-12 relevant tags matching genre, pipeline, resolution, and use cases.

Outdated listing with no recent updates

Impact:

Signals poor maintenance and may break on newer Unity versions/pipelines.

Solution:

Ship a small update (URP/HDRP notes, demo scene refresh) and highlight the new support in the changelog.

Underpricing that undermines quality

Impact:

Very low prices can imply low quality and reduce trust.

Solution:

Price fairly for the content and include a free lite sample instead of discounting the main pack.
