Chameleon

A Unity mesh-painting game inspired by Meccha Chameleon — not a 1:1 clone. You paint your character directly on its 3D mesh to blend into the environment, and move with an extended traversal kit (run, jump, slope-slide, wall-climb).

Status: early prototype. Core painting and movement work; the hide-and-seek game loop (roles, rounds, scoring, multiplayer) is not built yet.

Features so far

• Seamless mesh painting straight onto the character's 3D mesh (GPU + CPU path, edge-dilation against seams).
• Third-person character controller — camera-relative WASD, jump, gravity, slope-sliding off too-steep surfaces, hold-to-sprint and acceleration/deceleration for smooth ramp-up and roll-out.
• Wall-climb + mantle — climb walls/ceilings (W approach/up, S detach, A/D sideways) and pull up over top edges (or hop over slope tops) instead of dropping.
• Cinemachine orbit camera — mouse look, interpolated scroll zoom, smoothed orbit rotation, collision deocclusion.
• Animator hookup — drives a Running bool while moving on the ground.
• Game mode manager — extensible state machine, switch with Tab:
  • Player Control — move + mouse look.
  • Paint — no movement, left-click paints, hold right-click to orbit.

Controls

Input	Action
WASD	Move (camera-relative)
Shift (hold)	Sprint
Space	Jump
Mouse	Look / orbit camera
Mouse wheel	Zoom
Left click	Paint (Paint mode)
Tab	Switch mode (Player Control ⇄ Paint)

Getting started

1. Open the project with Unity 6000.3.11f1 (Unity 6).
2. Open Assets/Scenes/SampleScene.unity.
3. Press Play, move with WASD, press Tab to switch to Paint mode and paint.

Cinemachine (com.unity.cinemachine) and the Input System are resolved automatically via the package manifest.

Project layout

• Assets/Scripts/ — gameplay scripts (PlayerCharacterController, MeshPainter, ThirdPersonOrbitInput, GameModeManager, modes, FrameRateLimiter).
• Assets/Scenes/ — SampleScene (the playground).
• Docs/GAME_DESIGN.md — design notes and the full feature checklist (German).

Roadmap
