**Unity Bootloader Tool (C# / Editor Extension)**

As a personal productivity tool, I created a lightweight Unity Editor extension called "Bootloader" to streamline the development workflow for projects with multiple scenes.

The problem it solves: Unity projects typically have an initial bootstrap scene responsible for loading essential systems, managers, and the main game scene. During development, it's common for developers (including myself) to work in various isolated scenes for testing specific features, often forgetting to switch back to the designated startup scene before running a full playtest. This leads to incomplete or broken tests, as critical initialization code is skipped.

Key features:

Automatically forces the Editor to load and enter Play Mode from a user-defined bootstrap/startup scene
No manual scene switching required—simply hit Play from any open scene
Configurable via a simple Editor window or scriptable settings
Lightweight and non-intrusive; only active in the Editor, with zero runtime overhead

Implemented in C# as a custom Editor script, this tool ensures consistent, reliable testing by guaranteeing that every Play session begins exactly where it should—at the true entry point of the game.

This small but impactful utility reflects my focus on improving developer experience and reducing friction in iterative Unity workflows, especially in larger or modular projects.
