Update Support for this asset has stopped. There will be not future versions. It will be free on the Asset Store when version 1.2.1 is accepted by Unity. Check out this post for more information. Update 2 Just a heads up! Acrocatic might resume development and support. Please stay tuned for more info! Update 3 I’m speaking with someone who is interested in continuing development and support for the kit. Could you please show your interest by posting a comment in the thread? What drew your attention to Acrocatic? How has it helped you with your goals? What would you like to see developed in the future? Thank you!
Hello everyone!
Our very first asset called Acrocatic has been released to the Unity Asset Store! Go check it out at the Asset Store or visit our website for more information and the detailed documentation.
With this Unity asset you can create your own highly customizable (and acrobatic) 2D platforming character. Obviously, we made a chubby cat in a ninja suit! You can walk, run, jump, double jump, wall run/slide/jump, crouch, dash and much more. Customize it to your own liking by simply changing the variables in the inspector—or by diving into the code yourself. Purrrfect for developers who are exploring Unity.
With Acrocatic you can create your own uniquely controlled character by simply changing some values. So, you want your character to do a triple jump? No problem! Need some infinite wall running action? Sure! Want ‘press to run’ functionality? Well, OK! This asset allows you to add these mechanics in no-time at all.
Got some questions, feedback or feature requests? You can email us at support@battlebrothers.io or you can submit a post to this thread. Check out the FAQ on our website.
Version 1.2
Because of several personal related issues explained in this thread, it took me quite some time to push out version 1.2. It’s finally pushed to the Asset Store, so go check it out! It adds Unity 5 support, jump through platforms and much more. Check out the changes here: http://battlebrothers.io/acrocatic/#v1.2.
Version 1.1
Acrocatic v1.1 has been released to the Unity Asset Store. It adds stuff like ladder climbing, moving platforms, sinking platforms, boomerang wall jumping, ice and much more.
It’s indeed a great asset for beginners. You can check out all the code and pick what you need for your game. Acrocatic will get even more features in the future, so it’s only the beginning.
For all the lovely people who bought Acrocatic: be sure to leave a review in the Asset Store. Go to the bottom of this page and click on ‘Write a Review’. The more reviews we get, the more people will actually consider buying Acrocatic as well. It also helps when you have enough ratings to show next to the asset.
I’ll add something to the ladders so you can disable certain directions on the ladders.
The rope swinging will be available in another update (not in the upcoming update). I’m only adding simple ladder/rope climbing in the next update, but it will be fleshed out more in the updates after that one.
Yeah, I want to create some examples on how you can create something like Mario or Super Meat Boy by using this asset, so stuff like collectable items are something that will definitely be added to Acrocatic in the future. Quite essential mechanics for a platformer game.
