How to Build a CMS in Unity Without Losing Your Mind | Deckart Game Development Devlog #3
In this episode, we're diving into the engine of our Deckart project. Today isn't just a devlog, but a comprehensive technical analysis of how to stop spawning entities and start building systems.
The main topic is CMS (Content Management System). I searched for clear guides on YouTube, but they all only discussed formats (JSON vs. SO), forgetting the idea itself. We'll explore:
— Where should the "truth" about content actually live?
— How to split data into Domain and Visual so that battle logic doesn't care about sounds and sprites.
— Mappers and Providers: how to replace Scriptable Objects with Google Sheets overnight without breaking anything.
And, of course, a live demonstration of how setting up starting decks turned into editing configs without a single line of code.
