Goal

My goal for this project was to create a satisfying Moba System in Unity and implement animations from a previous Game Project.

Animations

While making the animations for the Shieldmaiden, I wanted to make them feel powerful and destructive.

She is a seasoned veteran… And a drunkard. So I wanted the animations to reflect who she is. Making her a fighter who fights with raw strength rather than technique.

Process

I started by creating a new Unity scene and importing all the animations from Game Project 6 into the scene

After that I began setting up the state machine. This process took some fine tuning. But I was left with a satisfying result

The game functions using a navmesh to navigate. I decided to use a single plane as the ground. I did this to have as much time to refine player script.

Leap Ability

Light Attack

At first I wanted to add enemies, but I realized that would be way too time consuming, so I decided to spend more time making the attacks and abilities feel good.

Coding the features went smooth but was time consuming, I used a lot of google and asked som friends for help

The hardest part was creating the script for spawning objects at the right time. I accomplished this by using animation triggers.

At first, because of the time, I was unsure if it was worth the effort to create a system for spawning objects in the first place. After thinking about it I realized that it would add a lot to the feel of the animations, so I decided to implement it.

I wanted to add vfx to the Project, I realized that would take way too much time that I could be spending polishing other parts of the project. So I settled for spawning surfaces instead

Special thanks to Elias Örn for helping me set up VFX even though I did not have time to fully realize them
