Metroidvania Tutorial Series - Ep. 01 | Movement and Sprite Flipping (New Input System) | Let's Make A Metroidvania In Unity!

In this video we’ll get set up movement using Unity 6's new input system. We'll get our player moving left to right, and add sprite flipping so he's facing the right direction while he's doing it! In the next video, we’ll add a highly customizable jump state to our player! In this series, we're going to create a beginner-friendly, Metroidvania. We'll start simple, but add complexity as we go, refactoring our code to keep it modular and readable! I've already planned videos on: - Player Controller - Tilemapping - Cinemachine Camera - Locked Doors and Chests - Mini Map - Combat System - Health System (with UI) - Magic Spells Planned Release of Ep. #02: Tuesday, August 28, 2025 I'm planning to release one video a week until the series is complete. If you'd like to help out a little studio to speed up this process, feel free to join the team as a youtube member, patreon patron, or just leave me a like or comment!
