Built on a powerful and flexible Scriptable Object architecture, LSCS puts you in the designer's seat. Create unique units, balance your entire game with a rock-paper-scissors DamageModifier system, and craft unique AI personalities by combining tactical behaviors—all without touching the core code. Control every Cohsesive Formation and Visualize their custom behaviour. Perfect for developers creating RTS, Formations or large-scale RPG games.
Give your players the satisfying feeling of being a true general. Get the Large Scale Combat System and bring your epic battles to life!
Please Note: The art assets (characters, environments, animations, etc.) shown in the screenshots and video are for demonstration purposes only and are not included in this package. A seperate Demo scene is of course included.
Whilst there is code included to prepare your project for future animation techniques, it's important to understand the performance systems included in this version.
LSCS comes with a powerful, job-based Animator LOD System out of the box. This system is highly effective for managing battles with many hundreds of units by intelligently throttling the update rate of standard Unity Animators based on distance and visibility.
For truly extreme performance with thousands of units, advanced rendering techniques like GPU-driven Animation (Skinned Mesh Instancing) or Vertex Animation Textures (VTA) are typically required. While LSCS was designed with the necessary hooks and components to integrate such a system, a complete, out-of-the-box GPU animation renderer is not included in the current version.
A dedicated, easy-to-use GPU Animation module is a high-priority feature planned for a free future update!
