A Web Developer's Foray into Unity's Game Dynamics

"Savage Roar" thrived upon a world brimming with life, waiting to be discovered. My transformation from a web developer to a C# game developer took a more intricate turn, unveiling the art and science of animating characters and establishing game dynamics.

Scripting Wonders: Animations and C# Synergy

Animating characters for "Savage Roar" was a dance between my web developer instincts and newfound C# skills. The Animator component, a parallel to orchestrating interactions on the web, empowered me to craft seamless shapeshifting animations. It was a symphony of keyframes, transitions, and blending—reminiscent of crafting smooth interactivity within web interfaces.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CharacterAnimator : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Animator animator;
    private bool isShapeshifted = false;

    private void Start()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        // Detect shapeshift input (e.g., pressing 'S')
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
        {
            isShapeshifted = !isShapeshifted;
            UpdateAnimation();
        }

        // Other character controls and actions here...
    }

    private void UpdateAnimation()
    {
        if (isShapeshifted)
        {
            animator.SetBool("IsHumanForm", false);
            animator.SetTrigger("Shapeshift");
        }
        else
        {
            animator.SetBool("IsHumanForm", true);
            animator.SetTrigger("Unshapeshift");
        }
    }
}

Dynamics Beyond the Screen: Physics and Gameplay

Unity introduced me to a realm of physics and dynamics that was unfamiliar to me. Concepts like rigidbodies, colliders, and forces breathed life into the world. As I engineered combat between shapeshifted characters and monsters, the collisions and reactions became an integral part of the game's allure, much like crafting engaging user interactions in web applications.
