A geek of the highest order, Terence speaks a great number of (programming) languages and dabbles in a couple of tech fields. He writes about common problems programmers come across in this blog.
Originally developed for Terresquall’s Metroidvania tutorial series, the Bench Universal Save System provides a very easy, plug-and-play way to implement a persistent save system into your project.
In this article, we will use the open-source Unity 2D platformer Kailius as an example to show how easy it is to implement the save system into your game.

If you’re following our tutorial series in Unity 6, you may want to be using Unity’s new Input System, instead of the older Input Manager. This is a guide on how to implement that.

Using GitHub Desktop for Unity collaboration
In the 4th part of this series, we dive into one of Git’s most powerful features—branching.
When working on projects, it’s common to accidentally overwrite someone else’s work or struggle with testing new ideas without affecting the main project. Branches act as a safe workspace, letting you build new features without worrying about breaking your existing game build.
In this article, we’ll explore what branches are, how to create and manage them, and how you can use them for your own development workflow.

Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
Update 10 April 2026: There was a small error with the GetFeeCost() function in PowerUpData as it did not use the feeFactor set. It has been fixed.
In this part of the series, we will be implementing a more robust save system than the one we had in the previous part. As we have recently created a robust save system asset called the Bench Universal Save System for the latest part of our Metroidvania series, we are going to upgrade our save system to use it (and make the development of our save system much easier).
On top of that, to test out the save system, we are also going to implement the power-up screen into our project as well, so that players will be able to buy something with the coins they have collected.
