Kickstart your next Unity project
Download TimpsPlate
Timpsplate is a simple starter framework for your Unity projects so you can get started quickly.
It contains a simple menu with functional buttons to launch your game or exit to desktop (working in editor and Builds). The game then launches with an overlay and then an additively loaded scene for your game.
The overlay system allow clean separation of UI and game data from your game world, and for things like puzzles, and other level based games you can leave the menu and data intact and replace the level beneath.
In game, there’s an esc menu that pauses the game and lets you toggle full screen, return to the main menu or exit to desktop.

Perfect for game jams
Created for the Synty Spooky Game Jam in October 2024 Timpsplate is there to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
Once imported into your project there’s only a few quick steps needed to get up and running.
1. Open your build settings File > Build Settings
2. Delete the default scene from the list.
3. Add the 3 TimpsPlate scenes in order: MainMenu, MainOverlay,MainGame
4. Add TextMeshPro via the package manager if not already present.
Your game launches from the MainMenu. The canvas structure is named to be clear to follow.
The Start Game button launches the Overlay scene. And a script in the Overlay scene checks it is the only scene and then loads the MainGame scene below it.
The Overlay scene contains the in game Pause menu (launched with Esc) this allows you to easily toggle between fullscreen and 1280×720 (change this in the script GameMenu.cs), to exit to desktop or to return to the main menu.
