This New Audio Tool is Amazing! A Must-Add To Your #GameDev Toolbox!
Explorer is a new free audio tool from Sound Particles. It's a must have for game developers and musicians managing a large collection of audio files. Flawlessly handle audio in any format and any encoding, easily export, manage, search, sorta and more. And special FX, fades etc. Really, its a must have, especially given that price tag.
There is another massive Humble Bundle this month for Unity developers, the Unity Art Bundle. This bundle contains a collection of art assets, art generation tools, sound fx and music packs and more. This joins the already running Unity Tools bundle.
Let me know if there is a specific asset you would like to see covered in more detail!

The Land Your Dream Job by Mammoth Interactive is a new Humble Bundle with a terrible name, but shockingly good content! If you are looking to learn Unity or Unreal Engine, this could be a good pickup for you. This bundle does something you don't normally see... it overs content aimed at the more intermediate or advanced developer, like DOTS, ECS, Optimization, Profiling and more. Of course there is also stuff in here for beginners too.
