Star animation script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To give the scene some more variety, I also created a script that would randomise each individual star’s size and animation speed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tThis script had variables that I could change in the inspector:<\/p>\n\n\n\nGrappling Hook Animations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n At this point in development, we had yet to create an animation for Kauri throwing the grapple. But before creating the final animation, Paula sent me some drafts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTo give Paula some more guidance, I looked into Silksong’s Grapple animation and screenshotted it frame by frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tThis one was much better in my opinion (As we don’t want the animation to delay the player’s input). But there was something I did notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Paula understood my notes and instructions perfectly, making the following animations:<\/p>\n\n\n\nHorizontal throw animation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUpwards throw animation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI then created a spritesheet with the individual frames Paula sent me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tWhich I, then, made animation clips for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tAll I had to do now was hook it up to the player’s animation controller:<\/p>\n\n\n\nCreate parameters to play these animations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tAnd set these parameters’ values in the player controller script:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tResults<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCrumbling + Falling Platform Tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n To make the crumbling and falling platforms more obvious, I asked Paula to make another simpler tileset for them:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich I turned into a tilemap and a tile palette:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tFalling platform tileset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tCrumbling platform tileset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter I had each tile palette, I went through each level swapping out the tiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Island Asset Colours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n To give each island more of a distinct feel from the others, we decided to give each island’s assets (Tiles and decorative assets) their own tinge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tIsland 1 Before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tIsland 1 After<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tIsland 2 After<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tIsland 3 After<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
