Isobox
Isobox is a Code Framework for building games that target the survival genre using 2d isometric style graphics. It provides the solutions for the following features:
-
Editor Tools for creating Items
-
Item Database (Custom Unity-driven - not sql/csv)
-
API for game items, weapons, structures
-
UI <> Item DB interfacing
-
UI Inventory interacting with drag-n-drop
-
Characters via generic Skeletons and Skeletal Animation
-
Sprite tools for modifying the character spriteset on the fly
-
Build and interact with structures in the game world
-
Straightforward front end API for loot spawning, item db access, spriteset modifying, etc.
-
Basic UNET integration for P2P Multiplayer.

>> Playable Build <<
GIF above shows UI Item stacking, world item picking, weapon equipping, damage to trees, loot spawning, character animation, character spritesheet swapping and skeleton swaps, world sprites sorted by camera depth, point lighting, sprite camera-facing without zsorting issues, etc.
Currently we’re aiming for a paid beta release for ~$20 with most of the existing features mentioned here ready to go. If you’re interested in getting access earlier to provide feedback you can PM me.
