Question by mrApe · Jul 09, 2021 at 06:22 AM · assets load store read write data

Can AssetDatabase be used to load and store assets from a standalone game?

AssetDatabase functions work from the editor, but will they work from the exported game too? Is it supported on Windows/Linux/Android (and other platforms)? Can the exported game use AssetDatabase functions to write/read?

No. UnityEditor.AssetDatabase is excluded from builds.

What you might want to migrate to is Resources.Load and Addressables later on.
