I’m working on developing 2D apps using Unity3d. The app primarily makes use of the UI system and I have already created the basic template for the app in the Unity editor. I was hoping to be able to have the client access a CMS (Probably ModX, which is like Wordpress or Joomla) in order to stubb out the content of the app, which is mainly images and text. I know that I can have the CMS generate JSON to parse through, but we actually want the compiling to occur server side so that the user’s machine doesn’t have to do the work through the data. I was thinking that I could achieve this by generating/exporting some YAML from my CMS into a compiled unity file. This looks like it’s going to work, but I have run into a snag.
How do I have users upload images into my CMS and then reference them in my compiled YAML? It seems that the unity editor generates the file ID and GUID for images, so how do I reference files in YAML that haven’t been pulled into unity yet?
Has anyone on here had any success using a CMS for a Unity3d app’s content entry?
I have heard, through word of mouth that this has been done by a competitor, but I have not seen any examples of it out in the wild and a search for CMS in these forms is only leading to people asking about how to build a website (not a client-friendly unity3d CMS).
