Using unity entities without gameobjects and subscenes?

[atomic flame]

I was wondering if it's possible yet to use dots entities without gameobjects, scenes or sub scenes?

I was thinking more along the lines of using some sort of world resource directly and settings one as startup.

It's always been possible but it's ill-advised

how so and why so?

[nocturne basalt]

Because you're just reinventing the wheel but it's going to come out square

[atomic flame]

Are authering behaviours still nessary?

[nocturne basalt]

that is the standard entities workflow

thats too bad hopefully it will change

well considering they are merging gameobjects and entities, they're doubling down on it

some good news i guess for you is with this merge, they are allowing entity components to be directly added without authoring - though i'm sceptical how useful this will be
