First Steps

Install BG Database and Setup Google Cloud project

Before we get started, you'll need to install BG Database from the Unity Asset store:

BG Database | Data editor with Google Sheets and Excel syncingUnityAssetStore

Buy & Install BG Database from the Asset store

Once you have BG Database installed, Open the BG Database window (Window -> BG Database) and then install the Google Sheets plugin:

(You can just click 'Import Silently' or if you're paranoid click the interactive import to see the normal .unitypackage import dialog).

Setup Google Cloud project

This IS a requirement for you to be able to read from Google Sheets (basically you just need to enable the Google Sheets API in Google Cloud and add a credential).

It's free, no worries. Follow the instructions on the BG Database docs site and if you get stuck ping me on Bsky and I can try to help!

Once you have completed these steps, you will need to:

1. Configure the Data Source

2. Configure an Import Job

And then you should be good to go!
