Platformer Idea...

- No Rigidbody2D. All raycasting and colliders on Player and platforms.
- Custom 2D Shadow shaders.
- Application.LoadLevelAdditiveAsync used.
- Custom 2D Camera follower.
- Weapon pick up manager/interaction.

Let me know what you think..

 

Good environmental interaction so far. The walking, jumping, falling, wall jump-climbing and platform riding seem well done. Cool idea with the wall jump-climbing. Looks like a solid foundation for a game.

 

Thanks for watching and the feedback

 

Looks awesome, love the art style and the controls look like they are very smooth.

I've been trying to get solid platformer controls working, but have been having a lot of issues.

 

Thanks

I started with using Rigidbodies but just couldn't get it consistent and ran into all sorts of problems with collisions. What you see here is Raycasting in all four directions, detecting hits. The jumping and gravity are all calculated and the velocity applied to the player. This gives total control over jumping through and on platforms.

 

Work to do over the next few weeks: develop a robust AI system.

I'll post another video when I'm satisfied with it for feedback.

 

It's very similar to Cori 2D engine or 2D platformer Pro.
Are you making another plugin or a game ?

 

I may put this up as a plugin.. I'm not sure yet.

If there's an interest in that, then I probably will.

 

There is at least 3 good 2D kits, if you don't bring totally astonishing things , i don't see the interest fo another 2D platformer plugin.

 

That's a good point. Would there be anything you'd like to see added?

 

They are very complete and Platformer Pro is even more complete.

What you can do is first adding at least the same possibilities that will take you some year.
Then add new game machanics not present in other packages or a better plugin more easy to use when we must integrate our own characters and ennemies.
The subject is really covered until you bring lot of new gameplay.

 

I'll check out the other packages and see if I can add anything extra.

Thanks for your reply.
