Charon is a versatile plugin tailored for Unity, designed to facilitate data-driven game design by allowing both developers and game designers to efficiently manage static game data, like units, items, missions, quests, and other. It provides a user-friendly interface that requires no special skills for game designers, simplifying the process of data manipulation. For programmers, Charon streamlines development workflows by generating c# code to load game data seamlessly into the game.

Unity Editor plugin uses dotnet charon tool, which is a .NET Core application built for .NET 8 and it runs wherever Unity Editor can run.

The generated code and data do not require any additional dependencies for your game's runtime.
