My contributions
This was our fourth project on The Game Assembly where we used an in-house engine provided by TGA.
My main focus of this project was to create the camera controller. It was a fun challenge because I had mostly used cinemachine in unity for the camera controllers in past projects and it helps a lot with smooth damping and such.
However, in this I had to learn some techniques 2D platforming games use for a more smooth and responsive camera.
Some features I created were smooth damping using ease in and out lerp and lookahead motion using the velocity for when the player was moving quickly to help see where you were going. I also added an additive camera shake for the other developers so they could call an easy function for a nice camera shake when different events happened.
I also created the one and only enemy we had and the paralaxing background.
