[Unity] 2.5D Sprite Rotation Test

Started yet another project!

I'm trying to make an action RPG similar to the Secret of Mana games, but this time with all my own assets. I'm also testing out the Ragnarok Online 2.5D style, with 2D sprites for all the characters and enemies, and 3D models for the environments. I'm liking it so far!

For anyone interested, below is a Unity Package with some example scripts showing how I achieved this. The camera rotation and sprite swapping is not how I'm doing it in my project because I'm using 3rd party packages that I can't include, but it's generally the same idea. I don't recommend doing it like that in a real project however.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!

Upwork notification "this is incredibly test"

And how do I make the animations for walk or other things?

Hey man, I've been looking for a tutorial on how to use a 3D environment like yours with 2D sprites! Can you do a tutorial or give me a point of reference please! Thanks so much.

I need a tutorial of this, i have problems with the movement of the character. Can you make it please?

Square Enix really said, "nice lab....I'LL TAKE IT" and made Project Triangle Strategy Overworld

Your link in the description doesn't work anymore, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind seeing your approach in the scripts.

Damn, this is very cool stuff my guy. You should do more of these sorts of video. :)

Working on this very thing soon, will show you some progress. I'm going to have it where my program cuts up sprite sheet automatically. Thanks for sharing the package! This will help out a lot. : )

I was wondering if characters style like this is more efficient in term of performance compare to 3d models. Plus 2d characters can have a fluid animation.

[YibbyZibaton]

I wonder if you've remade this oncemore with Unity's Input System and Cinemachine together?

[browar]

it looks very well! I hope i will learn how to do it ! thanks for inspiration !

[reflectionfrequency]

That looks wicked.
Working towards something like this.

Love this so far! I know you said in the description you gonna use your own assets, but are those 3d assets in this video yours or just placeholders?

[hongentsai]

looks good, I'm trying some similary things and don't know how to start

[JillValentine]

Can you also upload the script you use for the character movement? When I rotate it, it's sprite doesn't change and I'm not sure how to solve this. Thanks in advance.

[exoditore]

the link have the game, yes but the move is not implemented and the map :D

[ConchStreetStories]

Hi, i just wanted to ask you how can i implement your sprite billboarder to my sprite?

[Seboolek]

I'm trying to change camera to fps mouse look but doesn't work. Could you help me? I've try to change your cam script but I always have some problems.

How complicated would you say it would be to add walking animations to this or them having damage animations? I'm messing around with this method your using but I'm kind of stuck when it comes to the adding walk cycles to each view and other animations which impacts as well.
