Ever wanted to hide information in an image like the creatures from Spore or the games for Pico-8? Well now you can! It allows players to easily & visually share their creations for others to enjoy!
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Additional compatibility information

This asset was tested on the following Unity versions:

  • 2021.2.2
  • 2020.3.22 (LTS)
  • 2019.4.32 (LTS)

As it's just a script with very few Unity calls I expect it to work on most modern unity versions (at least 2019.4.32 LTS and above)

Description

Modding, or more recently called user generated content is awesome.


And if a player makes something they really want share, storing everything in a regular image that can be shared easily makes it even better!


With this asset you can hide any type of data within the pixels of a image.

Think of the stats of a character, the layout of a stage, a decklist or anything a player has created in your game.


The image can then be shared and another player can import it back into their game to make the creation appear!

Enjoy!
