Ever wonder why your variables reset after Play Mode? Or how Unity “remembers” your Inspector edits when you close and reopen a project?

It’s all serialization — the invisible backbone of Unity’s Editor and runtime.

In this new post, I explain:
* What serialization actually is (and isn’t)
* How Unity uses it to save scenes, prefabs, and ScriptableObjects
* Why changes vanish after Play Mode
* How AssetBundles use serialization at runtime
* Common gotchas and how to fix them

Once you understand serialization, you’ll stop fighting Unity and start working with it.
