The game is just the environment and characters. I focused a lot on NPCs and character interactions, so I added 9 characters alongside the player&#8217;s character. Once I made one cat, I kind of went crazy and just designed a bunch more. A lot of them are references to characters from the Warriors series. I even made an NPC of my own cat. I made 10 different animations in Maya to give more life to the scene. Two of the animations are walk &amp; run cycles. There is one additional idle given to two characters &amp; wife when she wakes up. I made idle and awake animations for shopkeepers. I also gave a little lounging idle animation to one NPC. The rest of the animations are two talking animations, a laughing cat, and of course sleepy cat wife. I created a lot of materials &amp; textures using original artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned that I should probably not save things for the last minute, but also that I work well under pressure. I did a significant amount of work in the last few days of the term that I am very proud of. I learned what it takes to make a good, lively environment. I also learned what I did wrong with Unity and why it took me hours to get the third person controller to work. I can say that I am definitely more confident in using Unity as an engine. My most significant areas of growth were in level design, texturing, and animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Credits:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sound effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/jarl_fenrir\/sounds\/563280\/\">Jarl_fenrir on freesound <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/skymary\/sounds\/412016\/\">skymary on freesound<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/aunrea\/sounds\/485952\/\">aunrea on freesound<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/D.jones\/sounds\/528787\/\">D.jones on freesound<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Music<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4A6899ZwTy4\">&#8220;Wilds&#8221; theme from Free Realms<\/a>, an MMORPG by Sony that no longer exists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Assets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assetstore.unity.com\/packages\/2d\/textures-materials\/sky\/fantasy-skybox-free-18353\">Fantasy Skybox FREE by Render Knight<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assetstore.unity.com\/packages\/3d\/environments\/free-stylized-nature-environment-96371\">Free Stylized Nature Environment by Ink Phantom Studio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assetstore.unity.com\/packages\/3d\/environments\/landscapes\/simple-free-stylized-nature-kit-192458\">Simple Free Stylized Nature Kit by TStudio Games<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unity&#8217;s Standard Assets &amp; Terrain packages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE GAME: https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/u\/0\/folders\/1n4a5zeelC5YIWmzRiA_FOYRgEgZZww5P Wholesome Cat Game involves walking around a street market getting groceries so that your tired wife can have a break.
