2D Platformer Asset Toolset

News & General Discussion
1

I am working to create a story driven 2d (2.5D maybe) Platformer (with a little bit of survival) and looking for some assets that will ease the development to a point, I could call “ASAP”.

The tools I am considering are:
Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making (Pltformer Corgi Engine)
Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making (Platformer Pro)

Could you recommend these assets or any other tools that could add benefits?
If you created a Platformer before - what was your workflow?

(This question would be better placed in the Asset Store or General Discussion forum, since the Game Design forum is about design issues such as story building, balancing abilities, etc.)

Both kits are good. Check the feature lists carefully in case one offers something you need that the other doesn’t. Some people say Platformer Pro is easier to customize with scripting, but it also requires a little extra scripting to implement some of the features that are built into Corgi. Corgi gives you some more features out of the box, and it’s not too hard to customize with scripting either.

They both feel a little different to play. Thoroughly test the demo scenes to see if you prefer the feel of one over the other.

Also check the documentation and video tutorials for both. Your personal learning style might work better with one kit or the other.

If you want “ASAP” – that is, to start making your game right away instead of reinventing a platformer engine first – either is a good choice.

Corgi Engine is the go-to for 2d platformer assets.

Also, Sebastian Lague has a fantastic video series on 2d platformer controllers.

But, yeah. Next time try to post in the correct section.

Thanks for the answer! Sounds promessing!

Really sorry for mixing up the sections. I got the impression that the “Assets and Asset Store” is more for Asset creators…

I can see why you’d think that.

No worries.

The community has just had struggles with people posting whatever they want wherever they want to get as many views as possible.

You’re clearly not doing that, so don’t worry about it.
