Crafty Patching System

Because of main developer private problems, project Crafty is currently on hold. It will resume its development shortly after programmers return.



Crafty is a program made for Unity to professionally deal with any of your game patching problems.

Supports both Unity and Unity Pro versions 3.5.7 and 4.+.+

Works on Windows, Mac and Linux. A true multi-platform in-game patching solution.

Crafty will deal with changing, removing or completely replacing files from your game by creating small and easy to use patches, by doing a complex binary search.

Design your Launcher with the full power of Unity GUI. You are limited only by your imagination.
