Open the scene in RW/2D Platformer Movement/Scenes.Įxpand Player Objects. A character jumps from one platform onto another, how hard can that be, right? Actually, 2D platformers today can be very complex. Many people think that platformers are the easiest to code, just because they look simple. Some examples of published games in this field are: Super Mario Bros., Sonic, Castlevania, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Rayman Legends, Mega Man, Metroid and Ninja Gaiden. Implementing 2D Platformer Movementįor your first step, you’ll work on creating movement in a 2D platformer. Now that you have that information under your belt, you can move on to your first type of game: 2D platformers. Each of these X, Y and Z sets is known as a Vector3. Notice the values for Position, Rotation and Scale each have X, Y and Z values. In Unity, you can see these 3 components of a Transform as follows: Finally, the Scale, which defines the object’s size. The Rotation, which defines the object’s orientation in 3D space. The Position, which is basically a point in 3D space. Understanding TransformsĪ Transform consist of 3 components. But first, you need to learn about one important concept: Transforms. In this tutorial, you’ll work with both 2D and 3D movement. Check out what Catto looks like in 2D and 3D: 2D and 3D are just models drawn to reflect people’s perceptions. Moving in 2D Versus 3DĬompletely real 2D worlds are impossible. Genres give you a starting point for choosing the movement types for your games.
That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t have a Resident Evil-style game where your character can fly, for example, but remember that restricted movement is part of what makes those games scary.Īs with everything in art, you must learn the basics before creating your own style. While there’s a difference between game genres and the types of movement they use, the two concepts are so closely related that people often confuse them.
Now that you’ve taken a look at your project materials, take a moment to think about the types of movement in the games you know and love. Each subfolder contains everything you need to get started in each genre: This tutorial follows a top-down approach. Check out the folder structure in the Project view: Getting Startedĭownload the project using the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of this page, then unpack the files and open the starter project in Unity. This tutorial also requires that you have Unity 2019.1.3 or later installed. If you need to go over the basics, read Getting Started with Unity and Introduction to Scripting in Unity. Note: This tutorial assumes you have some basic Unity know-how and a bit of code-writing skill.
