Howdy folks, I’d like to introduce the 2D Character System, the video will do a better job than the text so check it out (best viewed at full screen):
As with all assets from JNA Mobile, there will be frequent updates, there are already several new animations (including climbing, crouching) underway… not to mention some more costumes and weapons.
The 2D Character System is expected to be available on the Unity Asset Store mid to late March.
Of course, a pirate styled pistol is planned soon, and there will be updates to all elements over time. Exactly how fast they come out probably depends on how many people are interested.
The asset was rejected because the package was ‘corrupted’. I think whats happening is the Unity review staff aren’t patient enough… there are 4600 frames of animation and Unity takes a good 5-10 minutes to expand and show the package contents.
I’ve resubmitted just in case and also provided notes for them to wait
This is pretty cool! It would be awesome if you could change the body type of the characters as well. As in make them shorter and stouter. I’m not sure how this would work with 2d graphics though.
Also, is there a template of some sort to add in your own items/clothing?
I’ll add some different body types (which will require different clothes) eventually, but as you say its a bit hard to change dimensions with 2D. You can squash them a little without it looking bad
There’s no template as such, although you could grab the base frames and paint your own layer over the top. There tools will generate all the supporting animators for your own sprites, but the art side of things would still be time consuming (there’s a lot of frames if you want all animations).
