Subsystem Browser Plugin for Unreal Engine

Subsystems provide an easy way to extend engine functionality and implement new features while avoiding the complexity of overriding engine classes or packing multiple independent features into a single class. Check Programming Subsystems article if you haven't tried them yet.

With Subsystems being a great tool, Unreal Engine Editor does not have a default method to visualize them or allow changing their properties at runtime.

The Subsystem Browser Plugin comes to rescue with a dedicated panel displaying active subsystems and enabling viewing and editing of their properties.
