Good luck everyone! I'm going to have to skip this year's Week of Awesome competition because of real life. Bleh.
But I'd still like to help. I'm in the process of publishing my free Auto Save - Editor Extension for Unity, but I don't think my asset page is going to be approved before the Week of Awesome III runs its course. I'd like to make this available to you guys and gals before then. The extension just saves your scene and assets any time you run your scene. Here's a dropbox link to it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/51ot1iote9xhrz5/EckTechGames_AutoSave.unitypackage?dl=1
Instructions:
1. In Unity, go to Assets->Import Package->Custom Package and import that file.
2. There is no step 2. You're done! Get back to work!
Now instead of tearing your hair out for losing hours of work and cursing yourself for not clicking the save button first, you can take the time to fill out the Unity bug report, restart Unity, and get back to work.
If you run into any issues, email ecktechgames@gmail.com. If you want to say thanks, hit my journal entry and leave a comment:
