Ho ho ho.

‘Tis the season of Christmas surprises, so here’s the greatest of my advices,
I’ve served you the ‘best of #UnityTips,’ so come along for this Christmas trip,
I’ll share a trick to get a present so cool, the kind of gift that’ll make you drool
It’ll be a Unity Christmas after all, just follow this link, goodbye, that’s all.


Sponsored by over 40 of the highest rated Unity Asset Store developers and a whole sleeve of industry partners – including Unity themselves, Nordic Game Jam and much more, Joris and I (Devdog) are launching a huge Christmas Giveaway Calendar for Unity game developers on Dec. 1st.

You can already now sign up right here.


So what’s this all about?
For the past weeks, we’ve been collecting sponsored gifts related to Unity (asset vouchers, product keys, conference tickets etc.), and throughout each day of December leading up to Christmas Day on the 25th , we will be sending out these sponsored gifts as early gamedev Christmas presents via e-mail to hundreds of lucky winners.

The total prize pool is over $16.000, with over 350 presents in the prize pool.
Merry Christmas from Devdog, and every single one of the sponsors.

I saw your giveaway from my friends' posts in facebook yesterday.
I have registered there too and even shared your info on facebook and twitter.
Hope I have the chance to win... even though I rarely win raffle _(:3_)_.

Btw, after the event is over, what will be the content of the newsletter in the future? Thanks.

It's pretty cool but you might want to change that decimal to a comma? That reads $15 and 000 cents outside of Denmark

I hope you win too! So far, the odds are certainly better than in most other giveaways. And when the last milestone is reached, it'll unlock 100 extra presents too.

I rarely win raffles too. Know that feel  

After the event is over, we'll use the newsletter to send updates about once a month (sometimes it's every second month - depends on what's going on). These updates feature one or two of the most popular / insightful posts from the blog (we curate the best UnityTips each week + write some rather long posts on marketing for game developers and other subjects related to game development), as well as announcements of any new Unity Assets we may have launched or announcements of an existing asset becoming part of a Unity sale.

We'll of course also write to let everyone know about the 2017 edition of the Christmas event, once that time comes around.
But it's super easy and simple to opt-out if you'd rather not receive these updates after the event is over. No hard feelings

But believe it or not, we actually did the counting, and there are far more countries using dots as thousand mark separators rather than comma. That's why we ultimately went with a dot :p

You guys are doing a good thing, but that's still incorrect if read in English or listed in USD Anyways, good luck with it all.

We drew 12 winners yesterday. Only 3 hours till today's winners will be drawn!

Good luck, everyone

Here's a BONUS SURPRISE!
So many new sponsors approached us that we've now added a 6th bonus milestone, which will unlock 150 extra presents in what is now a $21,000 Christmas giveaway for Unity game developers! Merry Christmas

Also more question.
If I won a giveaway, will I get informed with different email message?
(There were email messages with a list of the winners)

Thank you very much!
