Project Summary
Hey Folks. My Name is Duncan. When I got into Unity and Atavism I found it was lacking a Feature I needed. The Ability to use the Skinned Mesh Gear in my game. I had never seen C# before (HTML Background) but taught myself enough to finally get it going. This expanded into a full blown Addon. Now, 2.5 years later its going to be integrated into Atavism.
But like anything that goes good, I kept adding to it. Now I have All weapons setup, models, etc ready to go for any Synty user to make the models Drag and Drop into Atavism, We have an IK Hands script setup that does not require any assets (this is free), The Character customizer for Atavism, and we are working on a Full Animation Controller using Explosive RPGs Animations.
What We Need & What You Get
Right now the Add-on is more than usable. However It could be better. We have all worked on it for free, and it is getting harder and harder to keep going with no money (we all have families to support).
I am gonna do the Break down here by where the Money will be going and what it will be used for:
- The First $250 will be offered to TonanBora to finish the Animation Controller. Each weapon Type added, IK Scripts pre-implemented and ready. Getting this done would complete the Add-on as I originally Envisioned it.
- **Post Removed. ** I did not talk to the person I wanted to Gift $100 to for the Help I have received and this upset them that I would Name Drop them here and offer this accordingly. As such I have removed the Post.
- Beyond that, if we can get another $500 that basically pays for a week of me working on the Add-on Full time. This will be to update the Weapon and shield placements, Setup the IK Hands, and Rest Positions (Atavism Only).
- Doing this would also allow us to release a General Version to the Public (Non-Atavism) to be used in Any Unity Version.
- The General Release would Include the Weapons/Shields Setup, Fully ready to use Animation Controller, and IK Hands Setup without needing other Assets like Final IK. Its 100% script based.
- Any further Money would be split to support the Members working on this Add-on
Impact
Time is Money. Making a Game, Especially if your an Indie Dev is a LARGE task. This Addon lets you drag and drop the Synty Models into your game and basically be done with them. Without the Add-on you need to setup all the Scripts for your Models. Place Weapons/Shields. Adjust the Position and Rotation, and sometimes scales for each Weapon and Shield (over 400). It takes a lot of time.
In addition, IK Hands Assets can be hard to setup, or be expensive. We got you covered at no extra charges. Same goes with the animation controller, being fully setup and ready to go using Explosives RPG Animation pack.
Risks & Challenges
Honestly the Only Risk here is Not hitting the Goal. We have this add-on Usable now. We just want to make it less work on you.
We are setup on a Flexible Goal. So even if we do not hit the Goal, the money will still come through.
