What about a title?!

Much the same as last week, this week’s sprint consisted mainly of finishing up some small stuff here and there. A few of the bigger approaches this week were the design and creation of a title, which we had completely forgotten about, and an animated intro to provide a better explanation for the story.

The most work was going to be put into the new enemies. Instead of random objects that people generally associate with Mexico, we would now have […]

Although my character was suitable enough for a bone animation, I had difficulty following the lecture and understanding the Unity bone system. After having trouble keeping up with the lecture I spend some time fiddling with it at home. I could not get it to work and thus decided to […]
