This is my 2D sprite animation page, This was my first time doing a 2D sprite animation, I found it very interesting. I found getting the character to look clear and pixelated to be a bit challenging but after getting the right settings it turned out pretty good. I then added a simple platform for the mega man to stand on. I also set the layers as platforms so mega can jump on them. Making the blocks was easy to do as I duplicated the blocks which have the same properties.
Changing around the wireframe was interesting to do, I had to do this so the character won't clearly stand on the platform and not look like it's floating.
This was new to me so I found adding the animation to be challenging at the start, Everything looked pretty complicated to me, After having a look I started to understand how it works and what the point is for the sprite animation. I started off by adding the Running and Jumping animation sprits, I placed them out on the grid so it would be easier for me to understand. Doing this meant I could have a clear look at it and could add more animations later on.
I downloaded scripts for the player controller, This meant that I could add key blinds so I can move the character around.
a = isRunning
d = isRunning
space = isJumping
I added some clouds and colour so it wouldn't look like a simple course.
Once I got used to adding the sprite animation I found it pretty fun. The only thing I found challenging was getting the timing right for the animations, There would be a delay in the animation when I pressed a key. Otherwise, everything else was good.
