Starting Over

Well I'm starting over ... scraping all my code and moving on to a new code base. I could never get things to work when I switched scenes so I'm stripping away everything other than the environment I have built and starting from scratch. Until I get a working version going, I'm leaving the old game available for download.

After going through the new revamped GameDev's RPG Combat Creator, I am starting to integrate their processes into my game. I also decided  to switch my game art to several packets made by Synty Studios.  They provide me with a wide range of characters in the style I like and can easily be implemented without causing me major heartburn.  Synty Studios' characters work well with Explosive's RPG Character Mecanim Animations so I felt it was a win-win situation all together. I also have seen a video that shows how to merge animations from Mixamo with the Synty Studio characters that an additional sources for animations.

With everything in place, I upgraded the game engine to Unity 2018.3.14 (possibly going as high as Unity 2019.3). This opens up the whole world of cinemachine and timeline so as my first project, I created an opening cinematic for the game. I think I need to time the dragon's roar better but I'm happy with the end results. I think it sets up the story better and gives an indication to the player just where they want to go.
