Working with ink files

Unity is only aware of files inside of the folders it watches. To work with other files, they must be added as new assets to an existing project. With the ink-Unity Integration plugin installed, Unity will watch all new files with the .ink file type and will automatically compile them for usage in Unity projects based on its Project Settings.
