About this asset

he Charon Unity Plugin is a full data-driven design workflow embedded in the Unity Editor. It gives you:

  • A structured game database — one organized place for all your items, characters, quests, and abilities, with enforced relationships between them
  • A visual editor that opens from the Unity menu and runs in your browser — no external tools, no switching context
  • A C# code generator that turns your schema into type-safe classes, so your code reads hero.Stats.Hp instead of (float)data["stats"]["hp"]

Designers own the data. Programmers own the code. Charon keeps both in sync automatically.

*** This package requires .NET 8 SDK or later to be installed. ***
