At this point, you are ready to start developing using the Epic Online Services Plugin for Unity! Simply attach EOSManager.cs (Script) to a Unity object and it will intialize the plugin with the specified configuration in OnAwake().
If you would like to see specific examples of various EOS features in action, import the sample Unity scenes below.
Samples
The included samples show fully functional feature implemenation that will both help with EOS integration as well as validate client to dev portal configuration. After installing the samples from the UPM package, you will find scenes for each major feature.
In addition, the samples include Unity friendly feature Managers that can help to quickly integrate new EOS features into your title. They provide functional usage of the main feature functionality and can be a good base template.
Installing the samples
To use the samples, install them from the UPM manager.
The samples include both usage of the EOS SDK, and convience wrappers to make using the SDK more ergonomic in the Unity game engine. By being samples in the UPM sense, they are placed under Assets which allows modification.

In the Unity editor, hit
Play.Login with a selected authentication type.
