This week I was mostly working on creating 2D animations inside Unity using the rig that I built last week. I have never worked with animations inside of Unity before, so it was a new and interesting experience. I had some problems along the way but solved most of them after a few google searches.
The video attached to this post, shows a couple of animations that I made. I have other animations like Jump and Slide too but I couldn’t show them in this video as I have to set it up in state machine first before I can play them properly. For week 12, I’ll be working on refining these animations, adding a couple more animations, developing the state machines to play all these animations in response to the player controls, and making a small level where all these animations can be tested.
Research this week has mostly been video tutorials on YouTube to learn how to animate inside of Unity and short 2D animation videos to learn the timing of different animation loops.
Starting Week 12 to the end, I must pick up the pace and try to get everything properly set up for the final submission. I also must continue working and researching in the same manner as I have been these couple of weeks, which is proving helpful altogether.
