Planet Unknown: New Player Behaviour - Double Jump

A new addition to Planet Unknown's player behaviour is the double jump! After receiving feedback from the industry panel regarding traversal and the player controller, we decided to add the double jump mechanic to our game. The player is now able to double jump to reach higher platforms and points in the level, whilst maintaining control over the direction they're going. The player can only double jump once, whilst in mid-air as a result of their initial jump.

I have also implemented the players jumping and landing animations done by Sebastian Tuckwell, into the players animation controller. Above you can see how they currently look with each jump variation. These variations include tapping the space key for a regular jump, holding down the space key for a large jump and tapping the space key twice for a double jump.
