    This product contains a code plugin, complete with pre-built binaries and all its source code that integrates with Unreal Engine, which can be installed to an engine version of your choice then enabled on a per-project basis.

A customizable and comprehensive save system with thumbnails.

The plugin creates an easier alternative to implementing a save system with save slots, thumbnails, slot deletion, checkpoint and save game actors (the classic "typewriter").

The plugin also contains tools to save run-time generated textures (such as the scene captures used for the thumbnails) and manage a settings system.
