About this asset

Modding, or more recently called user generated content is awesome.

And if a player makes something they really want share, storing everything in a regular image that can be shared easily makes it even better!

With this asset you can hide any type of data within the pixels of a image.

Think of the stats of a character, the layout of a stage, a decklist or anything a player has created in your game.

The image can then be shared and another player can import it back into their game to make the creation appear!

Compatibility

Unity version Built-in URP HDRP Custom

This asset was tested on the following Unity versions:

  • 2021.2.2
  • 2020.3.22 (LTS)
  • 2019.4.32 (LTS)

As it's just a script with very few Unity calls I expect it to work on most modern unity versions (at least 2019.4.32 LTS and above)
