Small update with some new schematic nodes and other new features, changes and fixes.

Download the latest version of Makinom here – or get the latest version in the Unity® Asset Store.

As of this version, the free test version of Makinom is now completely unlimted, i.e. no watermark, no data/time limits and you’re allowed to use it in commercial projects. Makinom’s versions are now titled Makinom Free and Makinom Pro, the only difference being the Pro version including the gameplay source code. Also, Makinom Pro is from now on available at $35 in the Unity Asset Store!

If you’re enjoying Makinom (or ORK Framework) and the free updates, tutorials and support I’m providing, please consider supporting me as a patron on patreon.com.
