Default URaider - Unity Tomb Raider Framework


It is with great excitement that I am announcing what I intend to be a modern-day TRLE substitute for Unity.

URaider will be a full-blown Tomb Raider game framework for Unity that will have everything you'd expect from a pre-2013 Tomb Raider game: movement, climbing, swimming, inventory, doors, switches, etc...

Why Unity over UE4?
C# is an easier language for beginners to learn, so it should be more widely accessible to the fan community. As well as this, Unity provides an absolutely FANTASTIC animation re-targetting system that allows Lara models to be changed within minutes.

Beta Video:


As you can see the framework will also include automatic ledge targetting like LAU. It looks slightly off in the video, but this is not an issue with the framework. The grab animation from AOD is slightly higher than the reach animation, so you get that effect; I am working on a solution so Lara's hand aligns perfectly with the edge.

Help Wanted:
Animator - I have the game logic (tested and working) for jumping upwards and sideways to distant ledges, but I lack the animations for this. I just need someone who can produce these animations specifically... if not, I could do them myself, but it will be alot slower.

Special Thanks:
Nakamichi680 - Without the animation exporter I would be stuck!

UPDATE: You can now download the beta. Please see this post: https://www.tombraiderforums.com/sho...&postcount=288

Oh wow! This looks great!
Actually I've tried making some kind of framework like this in the past too, but as I lacked experience and knowledge it's something I gave up on for now. I started making simple games instead to get to know the unity engine and C# better.
I'll definetly keep an eye on this!

What is there left to be implemented?

Also, what does automatic ledge targetting like LAU mean??
