GameDevBuddy is not affiliated with any character pack creators. At launch, we support Synty Studios' Sidekick character packs. Sidekick and all related character packs are copyrighted works owned by Synty Studios. Users must separately purchase character packs from their respective creators (e.g., Synty Sidekick from the Synty Store or Unity Asset Store). This plugin is a third-party tool that enables use of legitimately purchased character assets in Unreal Engine.
