Corgi Engine Tutorial : How to create a character?

This tutorial goes into details over how to create a character in the Corgi Engine, and the various ways you can setup your own playable or AI agents.

The Corgi Engine is a Unity 2D + 2.5D Platformer Kit, available on the Unity Asset Store:

It's a very fast, single or local multiplayer non-physics based engine, packed with features, described below. It's mobile friendly, works well with other assets, and is basically everything you need to start creating your own 2D game right now.

Wanna give it a try ? Check out the demo!

Really happy there are some new tutorials coming out. I like this asset a lot but sometimes feel completely overwhelmed when starting a new project with it.

Thank you for putting all of this together! So far, the code looks really clean, and the assets are pretty easy to follow.

Just bought this and am using it for a production level game. Would love some more up to date tutorials. I was thinking of making a few myself actually. This framework is huge now and an overview of features and such with some ways to make more clones of apps from scratch would be great.

Can you do a step by step guide on how to import a 3d character into corgi engine?

Just kind have been following along to learn the asset pack (awesome stuff so far).

In the section where you create a Player Character around 5:40, I got curious and tried to replicate it myself.

When I try to do the same, it throws some errors. I noticed that by default if I just press play, it generates a player in the hierarchy. Can you shine some light on what is happening here so I can better understand it? I'm assuming it's just because these tutorials are slightly dated and I'm using all the new and shiny features CorgiEngine has to offer!

Awesome & nice tutorial. I'm using PC (windows) when playing Corgi Engine. I can move when pressing A & D and also can jump when pressing the spacebar. But I can't use jetpack when pressing Z.

for those cant hear try reading it I turned on closed caption and slowed it down

[Ralphenator]

Thanks for doing this game engine. I bought it about a month ago and it has been really helping me out. I do have some questions and was wondering what was the best way to contact you about them. I sent an email about three weeks ago but never got a response back. I understand you're pretty busy, but it would be nice to get some help on the finer points of the game engine. Thanks!

I created the block character as instructed around 6:08, but as soon as it hits the ground, it dies. What should I do?

[JermaineMorgan]

You have any tutorial out there on adding 3d characters? I've played with the 3d demo..
But when I add my character he faces the wrong way wont flip (Away from the camera. etc.

[hugosgames]

good tut but i hope you make one how to change the animation etc. seems the next step

[wildgrem]

Im having issues changing the animation from the rectangle character. Ive edited the abilities to my spec and im tyring to to add my own sprites and match up the animations but i cant figure it out.

Is this video now deprecated when you have "Corgi Engine Tutorial : Adding a Character to your scene" video which is two years newer?

[derpydoodles]

How come the growth mushrooms have no effect on players when placed in a game other than the HipsterBros game?

[dimitrishow_D]

im using 2d animation sprite with bones from unity, this doesnt flip the sprite when i want to move "left" "backwards" i tried a normal sprite that flips fine ..any idea how to solve this ?

[AlqueMeteor]

is there a clear example of how to create a character using my custom character sprite?

[theradioactivemonkey]

I added a sprite renderer and character component to an empty object like in video, set it to player with Player1 ID, but when I hit 'auto create' I get a NullReferenceException regarding the Jetpack script? tried loads of things but cannot get it to just work like it does in your video :'(

I've followed this tutorial, it's work when I created new character in "Minimal Level" Scene. However when I do in a new scene, the box collider of my character always auto disable when I play the scene
