Week 5: Now we're moving!
These two links will take you to some 3D blender animations that I made over the course of the week. The first link will take you to an animation of a bouncing ball, and the second will take to a walk cycle.

(Personal 3D animation link) I didn't get this file exported so I can't upload it to youtube.
Over the week we have been working on an arena multiplayer game on construct, you can play it here:

Controller - Controllers have a small amount of buttons which leads to them being easier to use
Keyboard - Keyboards have a lot more buttons which leads to more customization and personalized experience however it makes it more complicated to use.
Touch Screen - Touch screen is very linear and I find it to be very difficult to use because there's a very limited amount of space.
This is part of a sprite sheet showing only the death animation, The sheet shows each individual frame of animation as a picture and makes it really easy to edit each frame.
Pallete swapping is a technique that can be used for making multiple similar characters. You will take the same model but swap most if not all of the colours to make him look like different from the original sprite. Here is an example:
This week for my solo experiment I kept the original design and added the ability to use each weapon when selected on the HUD.
I would put screenshots of the pragram working, but:

To take my experiment further I would add the ability to open and close a larger menu with more slots and the ability to swap items around for personal customization.
