🔑✖️ Save Design — the key-free save revolution

Save Design is an attribute-driven, code-generated save framework that wipes out the hassle of remembering or managing key strings so common in traditional save/load systems.

Simply decorate your classes with [SharedData] or [SlotData], and you can access your save data with no key strings at all.

Say goodbye to manual file I/O and error-prone, hand-written save logic.

🎮 What types of games is it ideal for?

• Cleanly separate character-specific progress from shared player data for safe, organized saves.RPGs and adventure games with multiple save slots
• Identifier-driven autosaves let players resume exactly where they left off.Checkpoint-based action titles and roguelikes
• Handle large, complex state via hierarchical paths, enabling fast loads and straightforward debugging.Simulation and management games
• Record player choices and flags per slot, instantly recreating branching scenes.Visual novels and dialogue-heavy stories
• Frequent design changes are painless—just add or tweak attributes and the save structure updates safely.Small- to mid-scale projects of any genre

🧩 Why it makes development easy

• Once your save data is loaded, every property and method appears in your IntelliSense list, so you can reference values without memorizing field names or risking typos—logic flows faster and safer.Instant data consumption with IDE auto-completion
• Built-in support for async/await (or UniTask) keeps save and load operations smooth even on mobile devices.One-click asynchronous workflow
• Enable AES + HMAC from an editor window—just enter your keys and click a button to protect against tampering.Integrated encryption tool
• TempData is cleared at game start or when switching slots, eliminating bugs caused by forgotten initialisation or stale values.Automatic lifetime management
• Need version migration or custom upgrade logic later? Hook in your own callbacks or partial classes whenever you like—the framework stays out of your way.Highly extensible design

💰 Why is it so affordable?

Save Design keeps the price low by focusing on only the essentials and trimming the heavy “all-in-one” extras.

• Attribute-only setup lets you save plain C# data classes exactly as you design them, complete with IDE auto-completion—so the learning curve stays shallow.
• Direct serialization of MonoBehaviour and ScriptableObject is not supported, but simple work-arounds (ID mapping or plain-data mirroring) cover virtually every game scenario.
• Costly extras such as built-in cloud storage or Visual Scripting integration are deliberately left out; by concentrating on fast, reliable local saves, Save Design delivers professional functionality at a fraction of the price.

Planned Features

• Unified Method Generation: Consolidate multiple functions of a data class into a single entry point with just one attribute.
• Unity Cloud Save Support: Built-in integration with Unity’s Cloud Save service.
