Looks awesome! Much envy! Working with my own engine build, I guess will reap it's reward in time though! The camera stuff looks awesome, really polishes things up!

You're doing a very good job! I like the camera work too! You'll finish, the deadline is at the end of the month.   Just throw some levels together!  

Very Awesome!!  Yeah, Unity can become a bit unwieldy when you start stacking on cool toys!

How are you moving the character?  Root motion from the animation, physics, or just transforming it(slerp or lerp/etc.)?  The first or the last will likely be the most consistent, unless Unity has trouble importing the animation data, I've run into all kinds of strangeness there.

Looks fantastic, very stylish!

Oh, except for the most basic part, of course, that is the movement. I've looked at it in the orthographic view, and there's really no rhyme or reason to how far the next jump is going to be. It seems I have to completely re-do it, except I have no idea how.

I don't know if it is a good way, but I just animated frog jumping on the spot, and for each jump I calculate a new target position fixed distance away, then move the frog towards this target position in code. The frog thus mostly moves on a 'grid' but when it moves on a log or something it gets taken off the x grid a little.

Thanks, everyone! (Also apparently I'm featured, whatever that means, so woo!)

I've been using the CharacterController, and simulate ballistic motion in code. There's really too many points where this could go wrong (and does), and it kind of doesn't work at all, because I've got a "jump duration" parameter which goes into an equation, but it doesn't actually seem to influence how long a jump takes... Yeah, I wrote in an earlier post that I tried to be too clever.

I've considered this, but I've been unsure how I would handle collision. At least thinking in terms of the CharacterController. But, of course, if it's simply a kinematic collider it should be much simpler.

Well, I've started working on another "clever" implementation. After that fails I'll move on to your idea.
