To make things looks more interesting, I’ve added sprites and animation to the game. The cat asset is modified from 2D Pixel Art Cat Sprites while the rests are made by myself using the free version of Pixel Studio. To make the props fall from the table/shelf, I’ve added a new layer called “FellProp” which …

So let’s talk about the structure of the animation system in Unity. There’s a few major thing to make clear of: Animator, Avatar, Animation Controller and Animation Clip. Animator is the component we add to the game object we want to animate, it’s the interface to the Animator Controller and the Avatar we want to …
So the game is now somewhat playable (shooting and moving). Although I still need to implement enemy attack (currently only animation, no actual impact), in the past few days I sidetracked and have been working on making a main menu, pausing, scene-navigating and building some levels.

Until now, I’ve been using the default movement control provided by XR Interaction Toolkit. However, I would like to reserve the thumbsticks for weapon selection in the future (like Space Pirate Trainer) and limit user movement to only teleportation.

I’ve already done some testing and played around Unity. At this point, I’ve figured out basic implementation for aiming and throwing, but I decided to restart fresh, as the existing project became very messy and un-organized due to the testing and a lot of unplanned coding. From now on, I’ll try to do my testing …
