Simple Serialized Date Time and Time Machine Unity

Simple Serialized System.DateTime for Unity

I have made serialized Date Time based on System.DateTime and also add a time machine script that controls Date Time. Try to change TimeSpeed on TimeMachine.cs here is the preview. Time Machine Unity Attached TimeMachine.cs into GameObject

You can download the codes from Github Gist or copy the codes below.
