What problem does it solve?

The Asset Manager eliminates manual, error-prone asset handling by providing a unified CRUD workflow that validates, registers, and maintains integrity for all game assets across local repos and remote stores.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Schema validation & manifests: Automatically generates and validates metadata (character.json, sprite_spec, sound_manifest) and updates manifests to keep references consistent.
• Add / Replace / Modify / Delete: Full lifecycle operations for sprites, sprite sheets, 3D models, sounds, videos, UI assets, scenes, and fonts with backups and dry-run support.
• Sync & Audit: S3/CDN push/pull, changed-only sync, inventory reports, orphan/broken-ref audits, and CI-ready JSON outputs for automated quality gates.
• Real-world example: An AI pipeline exports prototype sprites, an artist refines selected frames, and the Asset Manager replaces the AI assets, updates character metadata, validates schemas, and syncs the final assets to the game's S3 bucket.

Quick Start

Add and register a new 2D character by validating the sprite sheets, generating metadata, updating manifests, and syncing the asset to S3.
