Description

Motion is a high-quality template for creating immersive first person games with full body awareness.

It provides responsive controls and dynamic camera movements, coming together in a robust foundation for your first-person project!

⚡ Highly Customizable and Powerful

Motion empowers you to craft unique gameplay experiences by tailoring camera patterns for breathing, walking, sprinting, jumping, and landing. Whether you prefer exaggerated motions or subtle nuances, Motion adapts to your vision—making it fit your game, not the other way around.

Why Choose Motion?

When developing my own first-person game prototype, I realized existing assets were either too complex, inflexible, or cumbersome to use. Motion was created to solve these problems, offering a template that's both powerful and easy to understand.

Changes include:

Multiplayer support!
A fully GAS-centred approach.
A socket-driven camera that feels more connected to the player.
No more custom components for CharacterMovementComponent, EnhancedInput, Character and more! (while keeping all functionality)
Better compatibility with other assets like GMCv2 or Inventory Systems.
Improved Footstep System (Environment Querying (i.e. Indoors, Outdoors), Character Profile (i.e. Stealth), Character Weight and more!)
