This page describes the contents of the asset.

Introduction

When you import the asset into your project, you’ll get a CorgiEngine folder, containing three subfolders. It’s recommended to leave that folder as it is, and not modify its content. Instead, create a dedicated folder for your game’s assets, and if you need to modify code, just extend the Corgi Engine’s class into one of yours. If you want to know more about that, look at the “Inheritance” section. Here’s a rundown of the contents of these three folders, and of the general folder structure.

The contents of the asset

Common

As the name implies, Common contains all the scripts and visual assets necessary for the mobile controls to work. You’ll want to keep that folder in your game. The main structure is made of the following folders :

  • Animations : all the common animations (mostly GUI stuff).
  • Editor : editor scripts, mainly custom inspectors for the various components in the framework
  • Fonts : the fonts used in the various GUI screens are stored there.
  • Materials : a few materials used across most demos, but not specific to any.
  • PhysicsMaterials : physics materials used across the demos
  • Prefabs : all the prefabs used throughout the various demo levels.
  • Resources : the prefabs that are instantiated via code directly.
  • Scripts : the “core” of the engine, and where most of its value resides. We’ll go over the details in a minute.
  • ScriptsCinemachine : a bunch of Cinemachine specific scripts
  • ScriptsInputSystem : InputSystem integration
  • Sprites : all the sprites common to all demos. Again, mostly GUI stuff.

The Scripts folder is where all the engine’s scripts are stored. Each demo may have one or more specific scripts, but otherwise it’s somewhere in there. Note that the MMTools scripts are located in another of the root folders, for easier maintenance and better logic separation. Here are the main Scripts folders :

  • Achievements : achievement related scripts
  • Agents : here you’ll find all the scripts that make the characters move and act. From the raycast collision controller, character abilities, to AI scripts and weapons.
  • Camera : various camera related scripts, parallax stuff, etc.
  • Environment : From falling blocks to teleporters, you’ll find in this folder most of the scripts that handle the level’s objects.
  • Feedbacks : Corgi Engine dedicated scripts for the MMFeedbacks system
  • GUI : As the name implies, here you’ll find everything GUI related : dialogue boxes, pause screens, etc.
  • InventoryEngineItems : Inventory Engine integrations
  • Items : Coins or pickable weapons can be found in this folder
  • Managers : All managers (“super” classes, often singletons, that handle global stuff) are in this
  • Procedural : Procedural map generation systems
  • Sound : All sound specific scripts go in there
  • Spawn : Spawn-related scripts, such as checkpoints or AutoRespawn
  • Sprites : Sprite related scripts like sprite masks
  • Welcome : onboarding scripts and assets

Demos

The Demos folder contains all the demos included in the engine. They’re grouped by “universe”, each universe may contain one or more scene. Usually each demo aims at showcasing one or more particular aspects of the engine, or how you can achieve different results with just a few tweaks and different art.

RetroAdventure

The Retro Adventure folder and the levels it includes is a bit special, in that it’s the only linked levels in the engine. All the other scenes are independent from one another, and meant to showcase various features of the engine. The Retro Adventure is an example of how you can create an actual game in the engine, linking levels together, saving progress as you go (it shows how to save collected stars, lives, and unlocked levels).

ThirdParty

ThirdParty contains scripts and resources that are not directly specific to the Corgi Engine.

  • The Inventory Engine is another asset by More Mountains, usually sold separately, but included in the Corgi Engine as a gift. As its name implies, it’ll help with creating and customizing inventories.
  • MMInterface is a library and resources by More Mountains, aimed at speeding up the process of creating UI screens in Unity.
  • The MMTools are helpers and small classes used throughout all More Mountains assets. Some of them may not be used in the Corgi Engine, but I’d advise against removing them. The unused ones won’t make your build heavier, so it’s just safer and simpler to keep them. This documentation doesn’t cover them in details, but they’re all commented, and explained in the API documentation if you’re interested.
  • MMFeedbacks an advanced and award winning system to improve your game’s feel

InventoryEngine

Introduced in v4.0 of the Corgi Engine, the InventoryEngine is More Mountains’ complete inventory solution. In addition to that (usually) separate asset, you also get ready to use items and dedicated Corgi Engine specific demos.
