Time System: Timers, Day Night Cycle, Clocks & Offline Progress

Ultimate Time Management System is a complete, flexible, and easy-to-use time solution for Unity. Create energy refill systems, daily rewards, construction timers, idle earnings, day/night cycles, countdowns, stopwatches, calendars, survival timers, and other time-based mechanics with a clean, reusable foundation for many game genres.

It provides fast setup, clean workflows, and production-ready timer behavior without requiring separate systems for every feature. Reusable profiles and runtime components let you manage multiple independent timers efficiently.

Technical Features

ScriptableObject-Driven Profiles: Decouple timer logic from scene objects and share one TimeProfile asset across multiple components.

Advanced Update Modes: Choose between ScaledTime, UnscaledTime, RealTime using the system clock, or completely ManualTime ticks.

Granular Speed Controls: Modify speed locally per timer or control timers synchronously using the global time scale factor.

Save System: Automatic saving uses unique runtime key validation, while the editor flags duplicate save keys to help prevent data corruption.

Event-Driven Architecture: UnityEvents such as OnStarted, OnCompleted, OnLoopCompleted, and OnTick can connect timers to audio, animations, and gameplay events.

Extensible C# Source Code: Modular, commented, and customizable source code organized under the bcylyLabs.UltimateTimeManagementSystem namespace.

Easy Setup

Create or assign a Time Profile, connect it with a TimeRunner, and control the timer through Inspector settings or C# methods. The included demo scenes demonstrate the workflow and help you adapt the system to your own game.

Ultimate Time Management System provides a ready foundation for timers, rewards, cooldowns, offline progress, and other time-based mechanics, helping you build gameplay systems faster and with less repetitive code.
