Milestone 2

Milestone 2 - complete!

Our team has moved from the toy store into the mall. Our next tasks will focus on getting the environments set up. We also aim to have some NPC animations.

Challenges we overcame:

One of my tasks was to create a gate that animates. It is meant to be opened once the goals of the game have been met. Exporting the animation into Unity proved difficult - we were unable to create a still-model of the gate, and add an animation to it. The closest we got was a door that automatically opens when the game is played. This would not do. With the guidance of the professor, we were able to figure out the problem (exporting the animation with joints was the source of all this trouble). Now we have a gate with three animation clips - one for it being closed, one for opening and one when the gate is open. Our programmer Ian can get the rest working with some coding.

Our game is beginning to look like a game! More updates to come!
