Embrace Data-Driven Game Design

Your data is always fully accessible to you. As a game developer, you retain a complete local copy of all your game data. This ensures that even if the online service is gone, you can continue development using the offline application.
‍
For an even greater guarantee, we offer the option of an on-premises installation of the service, giving you full control over the infrastructure and eliminating dependency on the online platform.

Yes, you can distribute an offline copy of the editor along with the game as a game modification tool, without any deductions or additional actions.

At the moment you can generate code in C#, TypeScript, C++ (Unreal Engine) and Haxe languages. If you have any suggestions or requests, please write to our Discord server.

In terms of simplicity, nothing beats spreadsheets. However, game data is often inadequately represented using tables, especially when it involves references and complex structures. Exporting to a spreadsheet and importing back is a standard feature of Charon.

Yes, write to us support@gamedevware.com and we can find a solution.

Yes, but on your own infrastructure. You can access your data via REST or the command line, save it to your CDN, and modify/distribute it according to your own rules. To facilitate modification, there is a patching mechanism where modifications can be applied when loading game data.

Yes, depending on the subscription, varying numbers of users can collaborate on game data simultaneously.

On the project dashboard, click on the "Publish" button and save the game data. On the same dashboard, click "Generate code" and save the archive with the game code. Place the code and game data in the game assets folder. Use the generated code to load the game data asset at runtime. You can automate this process (see documentation)

There are plugins for Unity/Unreal Engine that simplifies this process to few clicks.

No, distributing game data, generated code, and the offline version of the editor does not require royalties. The only potential cost is associated with the subscription during the development process.
