every AAA Unity project has bad menu UX

every unity project I worked on, has a messy menu setup.

The main menu

  • multiple teams add their tools to Unity, in different menus.
  • multiple people within the same team often disagree where to put their menu entries.
  • even if you had a nice structure within your company, third party plugins will put menu entries all over the place.

The end result is absolutely no clue where to find a tool

The right click menu

Unity also has a right click menu. This menu often has more menu entries than it can fit in the height of the screen, creating a bad user experience search for a menu item.

The fix

Unity search allows the user to search for what they need.

  • No struggling with similar tools spread between multiple menus, search can find them all.
  • You can create your own “menu collections”, by saving a search.
    You can save locally, as a user. Or save it in the project, to share with your team.
