I recently wrote a post which explained how Brackeys' Save & Load system could be fixed so that it isn't victim to a major security flaw regarding BinaryFormatter, by instead using BinaryWriter and BinaryReader. This guide will explain how to write a better, portable, more scalable save & load system from the ground up.
Buckle your seatbelts, we have a lot to cover.
Coroutines in Unity are a way to run expensive loops, or delays in execution, without having to involve multithreading.
That's right – although it's commonly believed that coroutines are multithreaded operations, they in fact run on the

Recent news has hit that BinaryFormatter has a major security flaw, and should be removed from production use as soon as possible. This guide will cover an alternative approach to creating a save & load system for your Unity game.
