GODS: Globally Observable Data Structures

GODS User Guide | Youtube Videos

Streamline Your Unity Development

By leveraging globally accessible observable variables, lists, hash sets and events, GODS allows you to easily manage and respond to changes in your game's data without the need for complex object references or tightly coupled code.

• Share your data (variables, lists, hash sets) throughout your project
• React to changes in data in an instant
• Save your data using a save slot system for multiple users
• Bind your variables to sliders/images/text/toggles/renderers/...

Experience the GODS difference - once you harness its power, you'll wonder how you ever developed without it.
