So while messing around with the new tools and digging around in the forums at the Unity website I found something I know I’ll be able to use in this coming Dare and if not perhaps in another project. It’s a 2D character controller akin to the 3D one found in the standard assets. I’m sure if any of you have spent the time to scrape the surface of the Unity forums on the 2D topic have found this already, but I figure it can’t hurt to post it here!

And if you guys are curious I found it in this thread:

So a big thanks to Prime31 studios for sharing this great tool with the unity community. I figure it would only be a disservice to not share it here.

Here’s their website:

I want to make it really clear that Prime31 studios get’s all the credit they deserve for this great tool under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.

If you’re curious here’s the simple explanation page for it and the more thorough license page. (both of these can be found at the bottom of the the Github page btw)
