The next step? Introduce a model with a similar look to the art style I'd like to get for a possible game, add some attacks, blocking and dodging...

I finally made it. Taking time to analyse the needs and write more meaningful code was the key. I was able to add new animations and mechanics quite easily. The character controller project was finally going the way I wanted it to.

Every time I tried to add a new animation or a new mechanic (like combat) everything was too complex. It didn't scale well at all ☹️

So it was time to start from scratch again, planning it better and working a bit better on the structure and architecture of the character controller.

Creating a character controller wich that can interact with the environment, affected by physics and animations is a lot more complex than many people might think. This is my second try of creating a character controller with a state machine. It worked, it worked fine, but was not "perfect"

The idea was to see if I could create something with enough quality to become something more. So I started to test with some maps and assest from the net and see how the feel with controls and camera was.

About 3 years ago I started to do some testing for the simple fact of learning and having fun with Unity. I started studying how to control a character with a third person camera, add animations, be able to interact with the environment...
