Mod-Friendly Build Hardening Plugin
Create a build plugin for popular indie engines that raises the cost of reverse engineering while preserving approved mod surfaces. The value proposition is practical protection for small teams without forcing a full custom pipeline or blocking community-driven modding.
이것이 중요한 이유
You know your shipped build is easier to inspect than you would like, but the usual answer of locking everything down creates a different problem. If you break modding, you hurt a loyal community and may still fail to stop repackaging. Building your own protection or official mod layer is often too expensive for a small team, especially late in development. What you want is a middle path: a tool that protects the most commercially sensitive parts of the game, leaves safe extension points for fans, and fits into your release pipeline without a major rewrite or constant maintenance burden.
- · Small game studios using popular engines that want stronger asset and script protection but rely on modding or want to avoid hostile player reactions to heavy-handed DRM.을(를) 위해 제작되었습니다.

MVP 범위 · 1~2주
- Prototype a Unity plugin for selective asset encryption and script obfuscation
- Define a manifest system that marks assets as protected, public, or moddable
- Build a lightweight runtime loader for protected packages
- Add CLI export commands for automated builds
- Create a validation suite measuring startup time and file access regressions
- Add a first-pass Godot export plugin with the same manifest model
- Generate a basic sanctioned mod folder and documented extension points
- Implement tamper telemetry and local integrity checks that avoid obvious signal leakage
- Create diff reports showing what remains exposed after build hardening
- Test with 5 external games and iterate on mod compatibility issues

근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
This was one of the most frequently mentioned technical pains in the discussion. Developers repeatedly described accessible builds as easy to inspect and current protection tools as unsatisfying, especially when they interfere with modding. The comments also show a real cost in engineering time for creating custom solutions, which is a strong commercial signal for an off-the-shelf plugin that reduces implementation effort.
