Unity UI Template

I made this Unity template to speed up my game development. Setting up the game's UI always took about 30% of my project time. So, I created a simple UI template that works for all kinds of games. It's easy to use and can be customized quickly.

You need TextMeshPro in order to use this template; make sure to have it installed before importing.
