Companion Drones, With Feelings in the Firmware
Vereda Labs sells a Unity asset pack of five sci-fi drones with animated emotion fields, pixel faces, sounds, and procedural body language.
Field notes
The collection packages five drone models as reusable Unity prefabs with configurable materials, reaction sounds, eight moods, and two example scenes. Its expressive system maps emotional states to distinct visual signatures: affection uses paired contours, focus uses aligned beams, concern uses broken ripples, and sadness uses falling trails. Courier, Starglass, and Civic additionally carry pixel displays. The page specifies Unity URP support and identifies Built-in and HDRP as unsupported.
