Overview
Retrobot is a special kind of 3D character — a business mascot and brand companion designed for Unity.
He’s expressive, customizable, and capable of displaying icons, logos, or UI symbols directly on his screen-like face and body panels.
This makes him perfect for apps, games, VR experiences, and educational interfaces where user communication or brand identity is part of the experience.
See the Unity Asset Store page for previews and purchasing options.

Documentation
Detailed setup instructions are available in the official Retrobot documentation.
You’ll find information on the icon system, customization workflow, and animation controller setup.
Custom Branding Feature
One of Retrobot’s defining features is the ability to display custom graphics — icons, warnings, emotes, or company logos — directly on his body.
Use these to:
- Communicate user feedback or emotional states
- Display brand identity
- Signal in-game warnings or prompts
- Create narrative depth or humor
See the screenshots and intro video for visual examples. The documentation explains how to implement your own icon textures.
