I HIGHLY recommend implementing console commands as soon as you can. I did it in the later stage of my project, but it would've saved me a lot of time especially when bugfixing.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/gamedev

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • imgui

    Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

  • A console is awesome, especially if working in a language where you can eval(), but it doesn't compare to what you can do in imgui. Colour pickers, histograms, curve editor. Dear Imgui supports windowing, so space is not a problem.

  • UnityIngameDebugConsole

    A uGUI based console to see debug messages and execute commands during gameplay in Unity

  • Console is super useful for mobile where you can't modify things in editor. There are open source projects. We used this one, which let you swipe to show.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
