This starter kit gives you nearly everything you need to start building your own single-player first-person mech simulator game. Retro Mech Simulator HD is a new release of Retro Mech Simulator with more modern HDRP graphics. Note that Retro Mech Simulator HD is a standalone kit and does not require separate purchase of the original Retro Mech Simulator.


Features:

+ Numerous scripts for standard mech components, such as hull, reactor, engine, weapons, radar, targeting system, and optionally shields. Hundreds of included scripts will save your team hundreds of hours of development time.

+ Professionally coded, highly extensible and modular codebase that can be tailored to meet the needs of your game.

+ 2 fully-functional example mechs complete with first-person cockpits with interactive displays.

The kit was designed with PC in mind but should work just as well on other platforms.
