Welcome to Enemy Masses
Please Note: Out of office from 24th Dec to 27th Dec 2025 - I will reply as soon as I am back
Enemy Masses is a high-performance crowd simulation and rendering solution for Unity, built on top of the powerful GPU Instancer Pro and its Crowd Animator Addon. It is designed to bring massive, interactive armies to your game without sacrificing framerate.
Whether you are building a "Survivor-style" horde game, an epic RTS battle simulator, or a bustling city full of civilians, Enemy Masses provides the tools to render and simulate thousands of agents with ease.
Why Enemy Masses?
Standard Unity GameObjects are heavy. Spawning 500 enemies with Instantiate() will often bring even powerful PCs to a crawl. Enemy Masses solves this by utilizing GPU Instancing Pro and its Addon Crowd Animator for rendering and a highly optimized Data-Oriented simulation loop for logic.
Massive Scale: Render 5,000+ animated units on screen simultaneously.
High Performance: Custom physics, navigation, and animation systems designed for scale.
Zero Coding Required: Everything can be configured via ScriptableObjects and Inspectors.
