UABE Installation

- King Of The Hat, as with many other Unity Games keeps its assets in a .assets file.
This means that you cannot directly access the .png files that it references for these assets. 

- Fortunately, through the power of third party software, we are able to extract those images.

- To do so, we currently use a tool known as Unity Assets Bundle Extractor, or UABE for short.

(UABE is OPEN SOURCE, which means everyone is able to view the code, therefore it can be considered safe to download and use. We have added the origin GitHub and a republish via google drive uploaded by POOPATRON.)

NOTE: UABE currently only supports Windows.
