Folder Structure

Overivew

This document explains the structure of the project and the purpose of each folder.

Core Project Folders

• Art Home to all visual assets like character designs, backgrounds, and icons. Example: Player and NPC sprites, decorative assets for environments.

• Audio Everything your ears need! Includes sound effects and background music. Example: Button click sounds, ambient town noises.

• Fonts Fonts used throughout the game, ensuring every text element looks just right. Example: Stylish fonts for NPC dialogues or UI labels.

• Materials & Mesh

  • Materials: Textures and shaders to give life to 3D models.
  • Mesh: The 3D structures for characters and objects.

• Music All the soundtracks that set the mood of the game. Example: Upbeat music for the dress-up area or soft tones in the background.

• NPCs This folder houses all the lovable (or not-so-lovable!) characters that populate your game world.

• Prefabs Ready-to-use templates for objects like interactable items, NPCs, and environmental props.

• Scenes The heart of the game. Contains the layouts and the scenes where the game unfolds.

• ScriptableObjects Scriptable data assets to store configurations or game data. Example: Settings for dress-up tasks or NPC dialogue options.

• Scripts The brain behind the project! Contains the code that powers gameplay, UI, and interactions. Key scripts include:

  • GameManager.lua: Orchestrates game logic.
  • UIDressUp.lua: Powers the dress-up menu UI.

External Asset Folders

• Downloads A collection of resources sourced from the Highrise Assets Catalog for use in the project.

• JMO Assets, PolyPerfect, StylizedFountains, KawaiiCity External assets added to enhance the world. Think of these as the guest stars in your project, bringing unique touches to the game design.

Utility Folders (Studio Specific)

• Resources Unity's go-to folder for dynamically loaded assets. Think of it as a hidden stash for runtime goodies.
