NorixMod Development Update #2

Development has continued to focus on one goal: building a solid foundation for real-world Unity mod creation while keeping the platform scalable for future game support.

The Asset Workflow

This stage introduced the complete asset workflow that transforms discovered game content into structured, validated mod data without modifying the original game files.

A Unity Asset Discovery framework is now capable of locating and cataloging project assets before processing begins. On top of that, a dedicated Asset Processing framework analyzes, classifies and validates supported asset types while safely handling unknown or unsupported data.

With those systems in place, NorixMod now includes a comprehensive Unity Asset Editing framework. It supports virtual editing sessions, change tracking, edit previews, conflict resolution, validation, rollback preparation and patch proposal generation. All editing currently takes place inside a virtual workspace, ensuring that original game files remain untouched.

Unity Mod Generation

Another major milestone completed during this stage is the Unity Mod Generation framework. Instead of producing game-specific modifications directly, it transforms validated editing results into structured mod manifests, metadata, dependency information, compatibility reports, build plans and package layouts. This creates the foundation for reliable and reproducible mod generation in future versions.

One Coordinated Pipeline

These new systems are fully integrated with the existing Core Engine, Workflow Engine, Virtual File System, Patch Engine, Backup & Rollback infrastructure, Plugin Runtime and Mod Project framework, allowing them to operate as a single coordinated pipeline.

The project has now grown to more than 170 automated unit tests, providing continuous validation as new features are introduced and helping maintain long-term stability.

What's Next

The next development stage will focus on the build pipeline required to transform generated mod data into deployable packages, followed by deeper Unity integration, real asset export capabilities and the first complete end-to-end mod creation workflow.

Thank you to everyone following the project and sharing feedback. NorixMod continues to move forward one step at a time, and there is still much more to come.
