Hello fellow indie devs! Today I am releasing another tool to fast forward your game development process. Wellcome to Easy Notifications, a Unity package that with minimal setup, allows for communicating announcements, achievements or game status to the player with ease.
Compared to my previous tool "JSON Dialogue", witch allows easy customisation and an fast way to add visual novel like conversations to your game, in this case i didn't want to make a singleton since it's bad practice for everyone to get access to something that really only the UI Manager needs to communicate. So i opted to make a component that can be attached to the UIManager class. So no MonoBehaviours, only one in order to communicate to easily set the UI elements in the prefab. I thought this way any class that needs to throw notifications only needs to know the UI Manager and also this way the UI Manager can act as a proxy in case someone wants to add Steam achievements or other methods.
Hope this is useful to someone and if there's any feedback leave it as a comment. I don't intend to bloat this system but with the feedback provided I may do a version 2.
