Ceres is my personal Unity framework designed with visual scripting and flexible workflows.
Ceres began with my indie games and student projects rather than commercial development, and I have kept evolving it since my student days into the foundation of my Unity projects. I hope you like it.
Ceres is a C#-first Unity framework: write systems in C#, compose and iterate them in visual scripting, and ship generated C# where performance matters.
- C#-first visual scripting: expose C# APIs to Flow graphs, debug and hot-reload them, and generate C# for IL2CPP builds.
- Actor-based gameplay: a lightweight world of Actors, Components and lifecycle-managed services that projects extend.
- Data-driven iteration: typed data tables and layered configs, tunable live through console variables.
- Production pipeline: deterministic Addressables content builds, validated updates and runtime-mounted packages.
Ceres requires Unity 2022.3 LTS or later and is developed on Unity 6.

The runtime foundation every Ceres module builds on: events, data and content.
Data Tables decode only the rows a game reads, and still read every row faster than a ScriptableObject with the same data.
