Unity Save Game Editor

After thinking about it enough I decided to take the time from main game development and make this tool that should speed up future dev time.

Enter the Unity Save Game Editor.

Once you set your save game path & extension and choose which save file you want to work on, the editor will display a tree of all the loaded data you can then dig into and edit!

On each row there are contextual controls for resetting values, and adding or removing items from a collection. While there are a few more things I wish it had, it suits my needs for now and I think it’s in a good state to give it to the world and hopefully have other people help contribute to it to.

This will work if your save game is simply serializing a data structure, something like this:

public void SaveGame(){
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
    FileStream file = File.Create(savePath);
    bf.Serialize(file, gameData);
    file.Close();
}

And on that note, go check out the project on GitHub!

Once you have it copied into your project in an editor folder (in my case: Assets/Editor/SaveEditor) you should see the menu item to open it in Unity’s window menu:
