Zion Console Menu
Stop rebuilding the same menus every time you start a new Unity project.
Zion Console Menu is a Unity 6 menu system built with UI Toolkit and the New Input System, with controller-ready navigation, settings, input rebinding, Save/Load screens, pause menus and game-flow integration.
It gives you a complete foundation for a Main Menu, Pause Menu, Settings Menu, Controls Menu and Save/Load UI without forcing you to adopt a particular gameplay, scene-loading or save framework.
Designed for Unity 6 and tested in Unity 6.0, 6.3 and 6.6.
Complete Unity 6 Menu System
The package includes a polished Main Menu and Pause Menu, Settings, Controls, Credits, Save and Load screens, confirmation dialogs and a loading overlay.
Navigation history is handled automatically, so opening Settings from the Pause Menu returns to Pause, while opening it from the Main Menu returns there instead.
Version 1.1 adds dedicated Save Game and Load Game screens with configurable slots. Zion Console Menu provides the UI and integration layer rather than forcing its own save format. Your save system can provide slot information and handle save, load, overwrite and delete requests through the supplied provider interface.
A demo provider is included so you can test the complete workflow straight away.
Controller and Gamepad Menu Support
Gamepad support is built into the system rather than added as an afterthought.
Features include:
• Left-stick virtual cursor
• D-pad navigation
• Submit and Cancel controls
• Right-stick and trigger scrolling
• Automatic keyboard, mouse and gamepad prompts
• Runtime keyboard and gamepad rebinding
• Correct UI layering for menus, dialogs and the virtual cursor
• Master, Music and SFX AudioMixer controls
• Fullscreen, resolution and VSync settings
• PlayerPrefs persistence
• Individual binding reset and Reset All
• Duplicate binding checks
• Save and Load slot UI
• Reusable confirmation dialogs
• New Game, Continue, Resume and Return to Main Menu hooks
• Asynchronous loading-screen support
Integrates with Your Existing Save and Game Systems
Zion Console Menu does not require ZionTPS or any other gameplay framework.
The Game Flow Bridge can use built-in scene loading or connect to your own systems through UnityEvents. Continue availability can also be driven by your save system, so the button can respond automatically when save data becomes available.
The same approach is used for Save and Load. Zion Console Menu owns the menu experience; your project remains responsible for the actual game data.
Unity Menu Setup Wizard and Diagnostics
The included Zion Setup Wizard handles much of the repetitive scene configuration, including menu registration, Panel Settings, Input Actions, supporting services, Save/Load screens and confirmation dialogs.
Built-in diagnostics help identify common problems such as missing screen IDs, incorrect UIDocument ordering, mismatched Input Action Assets, missing input actions and configuration errors.
A copyable diagnostic report is also included to make troubleshooting and support easier.
Included documentation
The package includes a Quick Start guide, full User Guide, Game Flow documentation, Save System integration guidance and troubleshooting information.
