Prototype
I started the game with with a bunch of white cubes and a red one for the player. I know what kind of gameplay i wanted and though i would go for some kind of simplistic style like “thomas was alone” (but in 3d). I code the basic gameplay and it seems to work well enough, but the cubes were not very appealing, sadly i didn’t take a screenshot at that time.
Asset store
Some might tell you that you should do your own assets, but i recognized more than once, assets from the store in more or less popular games. Anyway i think it’s fine to use them and it’s help me a lot. If you are not a very talented artist there is some high quality assets in the store 🙂
Here are the 2 main visual assets i am using:

If you feel assets are too expensive try to check the store often for discount.
Upgrading the prototype
Just using a few assets from the pack to build the blocks and a small scene for the game. It is not much but it’s a lot better than the cubes and i hope to use the rest of the assets in other projects.

Using the character
The player control the direction of the wolf, each movement is handle using iTween because i simply move from plateform to plateform. I use an animator to handle different state of the wolf animation:
For the idle animations i use a blend tree:
The animations appear twice because i plan to mirror them. I generate a random number to set the blending, here is the code which handle this:
IEnumerator RandomIdle()
{
while(true)
{
iTween.ValueTo(gameObject, iTween.Hash("from", randomIdle, "to", Random.Range(-1.05f, 1.05f), "time", 0.5f, "onupdate", "OnUpdateRandomIdle"));
yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(1f, 3f));
}
}
public void OnUpdateRandomIdle(float value)
{
randomIdle = value;
animator.SetFloat("random", randomIdle);
}
That’s it for now, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and follow on twitter!
You can also try my last game Icy Run and even better rate it 😉
