Objective
Setup menus and accessibility features in about 15 minutes.
The template can be the start of a new project, or plug into an existing one. It is game agnostic (2D or 3D) and can work with multiple target resolutions, up to 4k and down to 640x360. It's meant to cover the needs for a typical game jam, while remaining scalable and extensible enough to support commercial games.

A rapidly growing plug-and-play solution that should very quickly become a uniquely powerful foundation for both Jam game projects but also any size of professional game.
