Unity Project Organisation

What Is Project Organisation?

Its the way your files and folders are organised in your project assets folder.

Assets folder is the main root folder which is Automatically generated within every unity project.

Why Should You Organisation Your Project?

As your project grows with each feature added your project resources increase so you need a method or a way to reach those resources quickly.

worst case scenario will be that you will create and use more than one copy of your resource because you couldn't find your resource, which increases your build size.

Another problem can be time wasted in search of resources each time a resource is used. this is not a huge issue for small project but it grows exponentially with each resource of asset added to your project.

What Are The Options?

Grouping files in a way that can be understood by everyone in the team can be only using the following criteria:

1.File Type.

2.Object.

3.Feature.

So developers must mix between these three grouping methods to reach optimum solution to create cohesive well structured project hierarchy.
