beta 202405.10



## What is it?

COGITO is a first Person Immersive Sim Template Project for Godot Engine 4.

In comparison to other first person assets out there, which focus mostly on shooter mechanics, COGITO focuses on

providing a framework for creating interactable objects and items.



COGITO is made by [Philip Drobar](https://www.philipdrobar.com) with help from [these contributors](https://github.com/Phazorknight/Cogito/graphs/contributors).



## Principles of this template

The structure of this template always tries to adhere to the following principles:

- **Complete**: When you download COGITO and press play, you get a functioning project out of the box. Game menu, save slot select, options and a playable level are all included.

- **Versatile**: Wether your game is set in the future, the past or the present, use melee, projectile or no weapons at all, have low poly, stylized or realistic graphics, the template will have features for you.

- **Modular**: Do not want to use a feature? You will be able to hide it, ignore it or strip it out without breaking COGITO. At the same time, COGITO is designed to be extendable with your own custom features or other add-ons.

- **Approachable**: While there will always be a learning curve, we strive to make COGTIO approachable and intuitive to use, so it doesn't get in your way of making your game.



## Current Features

  - Sprinting, jumping, crouching, sliding, stairs handling, ladder handling

- Systemic Properties
