The Handbook for Unity's TextMesh Pro

I wrote The Ultimate Handbook for Unity's TextMesh Pro to not just hand you theoretical, purely technical knowledge like most documentation does, but always explain it the way a designer works with and sees the system. After all, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it — and on the other hand, sometimes you should do something that hasn't been mentioned in purely technically focused guides before.

My book is primarily written for solo indie developers and small teams without a dedicated UI design specialist. It takes you from the fundamentals of typography all the way through to localising your game across entirely different writing systems.

This is a practical, hands-on book built around real scenarios you'll come across all the time in game development, instead of just covering abstract theory. It's where I poured years of experience with TextMesh Pro, my knowledge as a teacher of design, and countless conversations with developers into a helpful guide.

No matter whether you're shipping your first game or your fifth, if you are purely a hobby dev or a professional, I strongly believe my book will turn TextMesh Pro from a source of frustration into a tool you'll understand and work more efficiently with. It was a blast to create, and I hope you'll get a ton of use out of it 💛
