Animations! Beta

Hey guys! I'm really close to finishing up the animations for the characters.

The animations themselves are completely done but they need to be tested (especially in Godot and Unreal in which I have no experience myself) so I can make a little implementation guide/infographic for developers at any level to be able to implement these animations easily. 

In the meantime you can already check out the animations yourself attached in the .zip. 

I wanted to get these done completely in time for the Global Game Jam but while the animations themselves are done the rest is not fully ready yet, but I know some of you would find these animations useful in the meantime :)

-----

• KayKit Animated Character.fbx contains the 18 character animations + a skinned mesh character (PrototypePete), the skinned mesh is intended for previewing the animations. He will be included as a regular character asset once the pack is out completely.

• The end goal for this package is to have an empty Animated Character Rig where the end-user can pick a head, body, and arms from any of the other/earlier KayKit asset packs and place them in the rig (by parenting the pieces to the corresponding bones).

• The intended way to get the animations working on the other KayKitcharacters is to parent the characters pieces to the corresponding bones on the rig (i.e. the vikingArmLeft to the armLeft bone on the rig.) The rig would then get animated individually and whatever is attached/parented to the bones would be animated with it.

I will have the implementation guide/tutorial done ASAP, and I'll also have to update the Mini-Game Variety and Halloween pack characters to fit with the animation rig and I'm aiming to get this done within a week or so.

I'll edit and update this post once the full pack is done.

If you are taking part in the Global Game Jam and you end up trying out the animations, please let me know about your experience!

Thanks for your continued support :)
