Programming

Character controllers, Game Interactions, Dialogue System, Inventory, and Camera

  • I programmed a state machine animation system with a five state jumping animation

  • Created circus performing mechanics for the trainer by using meat and a whip to lure the tiger and make it jump 

  • Implemented  a dialogue system uses scriptable objects in Unity C# 

Design​

  • Two playable characters, the trainer and the tiger, that swap depending on the time of day.

  • The Tiger is primarily about platforming and solving puzzles with an inventory system

  • The trainer has platforming elements but also uses items to make the tiger perform during the show
