Dagger Inventory System is a lightweight, modular solution for adding an inventory and crafting system to your Unity projects.
Designed for simplicity, flexibility, and performance, it integrates seamlessly into any genre, including RPGs, survival games, crafting simulators, and more.
Whether you're building a prototype or a full commercial game, Dagger Inventory System provides a robust foundation for managing items, crafting recipes, and inventory persistence.
Note:
Since this is the inital release it is fully free, so toy around with it, and give any feedback or suggestions. I will be updating it as often as I can, and can add features to your request.
