🧠 SaveKit Lite – Easy Blueprint Save System for UE5 (C++ Backend)

SaveKit Lite is a minimalist save/load system for Unreal Engine 5 with full Blueprint support. Implemented in C++, designed for easy use in Blueprints.

🔗 Available on Unreal Engine Marketplace – get the plugin, leave a review, and support future development!

It allows you to save and load:

  • 🎮 Actor transform (location, rotation, scale)
  • 🧠 Custom string variables (like score, health, state)

  • 🏷️ Actor tags and properties marked as SaveGame

    💡 Why save actor tags? Tags can be used to categorize actors (e.g., Enemy, Loot, Checkpoint) and drive gameplay logic. Saving them ensures that gameplay-relevant identifiers like quest objectives, interactables, or triggers remain intact after loading.

  • 💾 Metadata about save slots for UI display

💡 Why SaveKit Lite?

Unlike Unreal Engine's native Save Game system, SaveKit Lite gives you:

  • 🧩 Actor-level saving with no custom classes
  • 🔁 Built-in transform & tag support
  • 📦 Key-value variable system for runtime data
  • 📊 Metadata for UI display (slot name, version, timestamp)
  • 🎯 Built in C++, but used entirely via Blueprints – no coding required

📦 SaveKit Lite is designed to be simple and extendable — ideal for indie projects, prototyping, and modular virtual world systems.
