As with all Heathen tools Gameplay Tags is available for multiple engines:

And is composed of two packages:

Foundation

Define, query, and evaluate game state through a high-performance hierarchical tag system with zero runtime string cost. Tags compile from dot-path names to xxHash3 hashes at import.

Ancestry and descendant lookups run in O(1) via pre-built maps, values stack with full arithmetic, conditions chain with AND/OR/XOR logic, and a Burst-safe native snapshot API keeps everything job-friendly.

Toolkit

Built ontop of Foundation, Toolkit helps you wire hierarchical game-state tags into your scenes and UI without writing code.

Toolkit includes additional tools to help you bind
tag-value changes to events, fire condition triggers from serialised rule sets, and surface live values to labels and sliders. Dedicated editor windows let you build and preview condition logic and visualise tag usage across your entire project.
