Maybe sprites look like this instead.

Development is essentially starting over!

I'm rebuilding the game in Unity. :3

How are you going to control player movement in Unity ? I had loads of trouble using the character controller with my 2D game. The whole capsule collider wasn't working properly for me so I gave up and went to another environment. I am curious how you're going to manage.
Good Luck!

The sprite animations are really nice. Great job there.

I got around that by not using the Character Controller. I just slapped a rigidbody on it and started moving that around instead.

I am looking for someone to help me bang this out in GameMaker before I move on to Unity. There are a few problems I can't seem to solve myself.

I can't pay you or anything.

Why not consider HaxeFlixel instead? Seems perfect for your needs.

Send me a message if you have questions regarding the tech.

Rigging up animations properly. I have all of the animations I need but getting them all to sync up (standing reload/running reload/crouching reload) is a pain in the ass. Almost every problem I'm having right now is animation based. :p

The Hindu word for animation roughly translates to 'rigging problems'

As soon as I get this version done I plan to give it away for free, and run a kickstarter to raise the money to pay someone to build the online aspect of it.

Also pay Atnas for those delicious his res sprites.

Cheesy

Seriously though, your animations seem to be super slick? What's the problem, really?
EDIT: Ah... you switched to unity... But couldn't you still just make the upper body and the lower body separate sprites and then do classic sprite animation on it?

Reloading can go into various animations, so standing on frame 22 of reload needs to go into the next frame of reload on a run-reload animation if the player starts running while reload is going. But the run is 16 frames and the reload is around 38

Well it also needs to transition from 3 different states while reloading. Standing still, running, and crouching.

I also have to create a death animation that stops halfway through, switches to another, and then back to the original.

I'm building this in GM because I understand it a bit better than Unity. Though not much... obviously.

Also I have to make the reload animation interrupt if you jump or fall, and then restart upon touching the ground again.

LOTS OF ANIMATION.

Kill me.

I was doing that originally, but the animations suffered for it.

Isn't that totally the kind of thing that's solved by making the upper and lower body separate sprites? That way the upper body could reload, or fire, or do whatever it wants, and the lower body wouldn't have to worry about it. There would be some cases where it would look stiff and strange, but then you just cover for those special cases, instead of treating every case as a special case~

EDIT: Oh, sorry, saw your posts. Yeah, I guess the animations would look a bit stiffer that way, but as long as the upper/lower body align in the most common cases, maybe it isn't such a big problem if it looks a little bit off in the 1/100000 that you wall jump + reload + fire + crouch or something like that?

Its not that it looks off. Its that my code just doesn't work. :p And thats 100% due to my inexperience.
