Retro Mech Simulator v1.1.3 for Unreal Engine

Now available: Retro Mech Simulator v2.0! See the Releases tab for details.

This starter kit gives you nearly everything you need to start building your own single-player first-person mech simulator game. Your game does not have to be built in a retro style; that’s just the visual style I chose for the example art assets.

Features:

• Numerous scripts for standard mech components, such as hull, reactor, engine, weapons, radar, targeting system, and optionally shields
• 2 fully-functional example mechs with first-person cockpits and interactive displays (features include piloting, targeting, firing, radar toggle, shield balancing, weapon grouping, camera switching, and more)
• Procedural IK-driven leg animations for realistic foot placement on uneven terrain
• 3 skin choices for the example mechs
• Support for HUD color themes, with 3 example themes
• 12 fully-functional example weapons with models and textures (4 autocannons, 4 lasers, 3 missile launchers, 1 railgun)
• AI framework with built-in support for navigation, combat, and other core functions
• 5 example buildings (each with destroyed variants) + 1 popup sentry turret
• 4 example missions
• Example loadout screen for arming a mech
• 218 sound effects
• 7 desert terrain textures, 4 tundra textures, 1 snow texture
• Animated sprites for explosions, sparks, shield impacts, and more
• Damage system with separate shield, armor, and internal damage categories
• Extensive documentation, including a 40+ page PDF manual
• Various editor tools and extensions to streamline development
• Professionally coded, highly extensible, and modular codebase
• Hundreds of included scripts to save development time

This kit does everything possible to simplify the task of building your game, but it is a large and complex kit best suited to small teams with intermediate to advanced skills in Unity.

This kit is designed specifically for making single-player games. To be clear, this kit will never have built-in multiplayer support.
