About this asset
Start building your co-op game with a working multiplayer foundation.
Skipper brings together Steam friend lobbies, responsive player movement, proximity voice chat and shared physics interactions in a ready-made demo. Host a session, invite friends and explore the included example to see how the systems work together.
The package includes an animated player, interactive cubes, a main menu and an in-game interface. Demo scenes and prefabs are supplied directly—no scene-generation tool is required.
Features include:
- Steam lobby hosting and friend invites.
- A configurable player limit, set to six by default.
- Server-authoritative movement with client-side prediction and reconciliation.
- Proximity voice chat with microphone selection.
- Networked cube grabbing, dropping and throwing.
- An animated character with idle, directional locomotion and jump animations.
- Local multiplayer testing through Tugboat, with support for Unity Multiplayer Play Mode.
- Editable C# source and documentation for extending the example.
Skipper is intended for developers building co-op prototypes and games who want an understandable starting point they can customize.
