Item Database
Catalog every item with versioned stats and rarity tiers
Games with loot, crafting, or equipment systems can accumulate hundreds or thousands of items. Tracking them in ad-hoc spreadsheets leads to duplicated data, inconsistent naming, and balance values that nobody can trace back to a decision.
Gameframe's item database template provides a structured catalog where every item has a consistent schema: name, category, rarity, stat modifiers, crafting requirements, and loot table placement. Because the entire database is version-controlled, you can see when an item was added, when its stats were last tuned, and who approved the change. Export the full catalog to JSON for direct engine integration.
What's Inside
This template includes 5 structured sections, each version-controlled and ready to customize.
Item Categories
Taxonomy of item types — weapons, armor, consumables, materials, quest items. Defines the schema each category follows.
Stat Modifiers
Attribute bonuses, percentage multipliers, and special effects per item. Structured for easy comparison and export.
Rarity Tiers
Tier definitions (Common through Legendary), stat scaling per tier, and visual indicator standards.
Crafting Requirements
Material costs, crafting station requirements, success rates, and upgrade paths. Maps the full crafting graph.
Loot Table Integration
Which enemies, chests, or events drop each item. Drop rate references link to the balance spreadsheet for live tuning.
How Teams Use This
An action RPG team adding a new equipment tier before an expansion, needing to define 50 items with consistent stats and export the batch to the engine.
A live-ops team reviewing item drop rates after player feedback, using version diffs to compare current rates against the previous patch.
A game designer prototyping a crafting system by branching the item database, adding material requirements, and sharing the branch for team review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gameframe supports tagging, filtering, and search across your item catalog. Every item follows the same schema, so you can sort by rarity, filter by category, or search by stat type. Version history lets you audit any item's full lifecycle.
Yes. Import a CSV with your item data and Gameframe maps columns to the template schema. The import becomes your baseline version, and every edit from there is tracked.
Items reference loot table entries in the balance spreadsheet. When you change a drop rate, Gameframe's impact analysis identifies which items are affected and flags related documents for review.
Export the entire catalog or a filtered subset as JSON or CSV. The structured schema means column headers map directly to data keys your engine expects.
