SaffronLibrary

What is Saffron Library

A freemium closed source professional game architecture framework — a production-proven middleware system built over multiple years of real-world game development. SaffronLibrary provides 20+ systems for activities such as event handling, data management, audio pooling, save systems, and more. The library is designed for small-to-mid-tier studios building in Unity, with a roadmap for Unreal and beyond.

Prime Systems

Prime Systems

At its centre: the Prime Systems, the core that every project is built on. Systems like Applications, Contracts, Execution, and Messaging — what everything else talks through. Always present; everything you add builds on top.

Prime Extensions

Prime Extensions

Extend the Prime core with your own logic, without changing the core itself.

Prime Extensions

Your extensions follow the same contracts and rules as the core.

Non-Prime Systems

Non-Prime Systems

Domain systems, such as Ads, Audio, Animation, and UI, slot in around the Prime core.

Non-Prime Systems

Non-Prime Systems

Include only what you need; everything talks through the core, never directly.

Non-Prime Extensions

Non-Prime Extensions

Extend Saffron's classes with your own logic, and plug in your own tools.

Non-Prime Extensions

Both fit the same contracts as everything else.
