Charon is a Unity plugin designed to address common challenges in game development, such as inefficient management of static game data—like skills, items, missions, dialogues, and quests—often handled through error-prone spreadsheets or manual config files. It provides a browser-based editing UI that supports the creation of diverse data structures for any game genre, offering a user-friendly interface for designers and automated code generation for developers to streamline workflows. By replacing traditional data management methods with a structured in-game database, Charon reduces technical overhead, enabling teams to focus on crafting engaging gameplay experiences.
