Ready to start building your very own creature-collecting adventure in Unity?This will work in other render pipelines, but the Examples were made in URP so in other pipelines you'll get pink materials.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Note: This asset is currently in BETA.The systems inside should be fully functional for building your own game, but the Examples included are currently a WIP (creature artwork is not yet complete, some functionality showcases may be missing).I would love to hear suggestions, bug encounters, and feedback during this time (and even when out of Beta!) Please contact me with any feedback!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🌐Website🌐 | 📚Documentation📚| 💬Discord💬 | ✉️Contact✉️| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ready to start building your very own creature-collecting adventure in Unity?🐾🐾🐾Built with Game Creator 2's flexible visual scripting system and fully integrated with its Inventory, Dialogue, and Stats modules, the Creatures module for GC2 allows you to create any style of creature you can think up, from basic casual to mechanically complex.Note: While this module is heavily based on the underlying design of Pokemon, I do hope users will create their own original game concepts! I added more options and advanced mechanics to this system beyond what Pokemon features for this reason; be creative, and have fun with it!------------------------------------------------🛠️ Design Your CreaturesCreate your creature using the dedicated Creature Editor window. From stats, to elemental typing, to abilities and more, add what makes this creature unique!⚔️ Build Your BattlesUse GC2's Dialogue module combined with the Turn Manager component to control turn-based phase or active-turn battles. Battle styles can range from 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or even grid based battles! Use the Battle component to spawn a wild creature or a battle with a tamer. You have complete control over the encounter, from stat ranges, to teams, to AI and beyond.🗺️ Explore With Your CreaturesThe Follower system allows you to send out a creature from your party to travel and interact with! Supports 2D and 3D setups!⚙️ Highly Customizable SettingsFrom party size to number of moves and even creature deployment options for grid battles, settings are highly customizable to fit many designs.🔖 Flexible "Data" SystemThe built in Data system allows for complex mechanics. Data keys are like tags that allow you to reference strings, ints, or bools on a creature, move, or ability during damage calculation, or any other time! (For example, put a bool "Contact" -> True for moves that make physical contact with an opponent)💾 Included Auto Dex SystemAfter designing a Dex page and entries for a creature, adding it to your Dex is automatic; it even supports different skins, and hiding of skins that have yet to be seen! You can even customize Dex entries to unlock under specific conditions.🌦️ Included Basic Time and Weather SystemCustomizable Time system with Weather that can affect battles! Easily replaceable by more advanced time and weather systems. Spawn creatures at specific times and during specific weather via conditions that will check local weather and times!👁️🗨️Included Basic Perception System (Perception integration included!)Have Perception module? Creatures comes with a free integration for it, for advanced users! Don't have Perception module? Good news, Creatures come with its own basic perception system! Creatures can see your player and react accordingly.⚡ Custom Instructions, Triggers, and ConditionsOver 100 new visual scripting options for you to build your creatures world! Some of them don't necessarily relate to Creatures specifically but I found them useful to the project, so they are included.🛟 Help & SupportWondering if that specific mechanic you wanted to implement will work with this module?

Will simply not show up if not owned.NO ARTWORK WAS GENERATED USING AI. All creatures were handmade and animated by me. The module was also fully designed by me, but AI was to generate more complex code, debug, optimize, and speed up the process of coding.
