Inspiration

Progress feels better with something to earn and spend. I wanted a drop-in currency kit that any creator could use without changing code. Set a few properties, drop it in, and you have a screen label that tracks currency plus a simple collectable to increase it.

What it does

The Currency Asset Kit adds a live currency label pinned to the bottom-left corner of the screen and a collectable item that increases a player’s balance. The balance is saved and loaded using a variable group so progress persists across sessions.

1. Add the currency HUD to your scene and set the variable name and startingAmount.
2. Place the collectable prefab in your world and set its value.
3. Optionally adjust label text, offset, and updateInterval to match your UI.

The label updates in real time as players collect items, and the balance automatically saves to and loads from the configured variable group.

Challenges I ran into

Keeping it simple while making it reliable across sessions was the main challenge. I needed to anchor the label consistently at the bottom left on different screens, ensure collectables update the balance instantly, and handle save/load through a variable group using only properties so creators can configure everything without touching the script.
