## What it is
YooAsset is an open-source Unity3D resource management system for packaging, downloading, and loading game assets. It supports zero-resource installers, play-while-downloading, MOD distribution, distributed builds, and version management, validated by commercial games with millions of DAU.

## Use cases
- ship a Unity game installer with no assets and download content while playing
- implement hot updates and asset patching for a Unity game
- manage asset bundles with reference counting and safe unloading
- support player-made MODs downloadable from a server
- build a game under 300MB and download the rest before entering the game
- support offline play with old assets when the network is unavailable
- adapt asset delivery for WeChat and Douyin mini-games

## When to choose
- you build with Unity and need production-grade asset packaging, updating, and loading
- you need play-while-download, patching, or gray releases for a commercial game
- you want addressable asset location and tag-based content packing without manual dependency upkeep
- you target mini-game platforms like WeChat or Douyin

## When to avoid
- your project is not Unity-based
- you only need simple built-in Resources folder loading with no remote updates
- you prefer Unity's official Addressables ecosystem and its integrations

## Facets

- function: file-upload, developer-tools, plugin-system, version-control
- domain: gaming-tools, developer-tools, cross-platform
