🎮 Zion Console Menu
Version 1.1.0 — a complete, controller-ready UI Toolkit menu foundation for Unity 6.
Overview
Zion Console Menu provides the essential menu screens, player settings, provider-backed Save and Load presentation, confirmation dialogs and integration hooks needed for a polished Unity game.
It is built with Unity UI Toolkit and the New Input System and supports keyboard, mouse and gamepad control. The system can be used independently and does not require ZionTPS.
