Advanced Save System for Unity

Introducing the Advanced Save System for Unity

Elevate your game development with the Advanced Save System, a sophisticated tool designed for Unity 2022.3.16f1 (LTS). This system streamlines the saving and loading of game states, offering seamless integration and user-friendly features for developers.

If you want a detailed insight of how to use the save system correctly,  watch the quick tutorial video provided with the download link. 

Key Features:

Scene and Component based Save/Load Mechanism: 

Automatically save and load the state of savable game objects and their components per scene in edit mode or at runtime.

JSON Serialization:

Securely serialize and deserialize save game data in JSON format.

Transform Component Tracking

Maintain the position, rotation, and scale of objects in the scene.

Prefab Instantiation: 

Automatically save and load prefabs that are instantiated and saved at runtime.

Simplified Usage: 

Designed for ease of use, requiring minimal complex logic from developers.

Editor Window Tool:

The custom editor window provides a user interface for interacting with the save system and investigating saved objects.

Best Practices:

1. Avoid serializing references of classes inheriting from Unity's Object base class in SaveableMonoBehaviour components.
2. Be cautious of prefab path synchronization when moving folders containing prefab assets.
3. Note that parent transforms are not saved, affecting nested saved prefabs requiring runtime instantiation.
4. Ensure SaveableGameObject is the last component in the GameObject component hierarchy for correct loading.

This save system, while having areas for improvement, is robust and user-friendly. It offers an intuitive, component-based approach for managing complex game data, enhancing workflow and productivity.
