    So I was reading Odin's docs and from there I noticed mentions that the serialization system is needed in the compiled build. AFAIK, Serialization is used for scene saving and inspector stuff - none of this is needed in the game-ready compiled build.

    Then what's the purpose of serialization system in a compiled build?

    It's presumably the same codebase that deserializes, which is needed for scene loading.
