Top-Down Commitment-Based Action Game Framework (still updating)
Top-Down Commitment-Based Action Game Framework is a top-down action game framework developed using Unity 6. It is aimed to replicate the combat system of games like Monster Hunter where each move is slow, clean, committed and cannot be cancelled once started. The framework decoupled several systems including input system, combat system, resource system, enemy AI system, and animation system, making everything modular and extensible for application or future development. A centralized game manager, action emitter manager and event manager are also implemented to support the communication between different systems.
