I wanted to expand my knowledge by exploreing the whole pipeline for a single character. So I decided to make a character from scratch, rig and animate, then implement into an engine.
The character is supposed to be used in a topdown perspective like a moba. It was made cutesy and childlike too mimic a childs imagination of fighting. The dash is supposed to dash the lizard forward quickly. Attack, a quick attack slashing in front. Walk, showing the childlike character. Shield, animation to hide inside the box and then jumping out. Idle, kept basic for ease on future implementation.
