MecWarriors @ GDC – Vault Video
Posted: April 8, 2014 Filed under: News/Updates, Videos | Tags: game dev, game developers conference, gdc, gdc 2014, mecwarriors, unity3D, video 1 CommentAlright, the GDC Vault videos are up! Which means that our recorded session is now available to watch online. If you’d like to see our talk from GDC just click the link below and enjoy.
Our talk was a postmortem on our use of Mecanim when it first came out. We were in the middle of developing Undertakers, a Wild West multiplayer shooter, and we decided to upgrade our animation system from Legacy to Mecanim. This was our first experience with Mecanim, and in our presentation we discuss the challenges of using the brand new tool in our work.

Guest Post: Jon Ferriter, 2D Animation – Part 3
Posted: February 3, 2014 Filed under: 2D Animation, Guest Posts, Videos | Tags: 2d animation, animation, mecanim, mecwarriors, robots, unity2d, unity3D, video 2 CommentsHooray! We’ve made it! It’s the last video in Jon Ferriter‘s series on 2D animation with Mecanim. This time Jon’s going to show us how to take all of the animations we made in Part 1 and Part 2 and put them into Unity. By the end you’ll be able to move your animated robot around in a 2D game scene, and you can begin building your very own 2D game. 🙂
Note: There’s a lot of scripting in this video that Jon kind of skims over. To help understand what he’s doing, I’ll be writing a 4th post that explains the code in more detail.
