This looks awesome! Though I kinda wish John's transformation into a member of Daft Punk looked more like a Magical Girl sequence.  I kid, I kid! This has a very Out of This World feel. Which is a Good Thing.

Which is a Good Thing. Haha, yeah it's super Daft Punky. That whole design was just a lazy mind fart to test the 2D effects out in 3D space. Oh I forgot it was Out of This World in almost every other territory than EU. How dare me. Looks really nice, good luck with this project!
Cheers brosef!

This is almost perfection. I see my beloved Flashback in there. I want, yes.

Thought I'd bring over from my tumblr one bit of the alien concept work my good friend James did. Currently working on changes to the 3D model to bring in for John to shoot the tits off. It's neck needs some GIRTH!

Also an early concept for defeating such minion and the foundation for all the shooter mechanics.

I had to look at that transforming loop twice to see if it's 2d or 3d, and that's a great thing to pull off. Also loving the color scheme. Great stuff!

How are you liking Mecanim to setup your animations? Sometimes I think it's a bit overkill when programming might be easier (especially for cases where I have to manage sprites for 4 different directions). Sometimes I think it's wonderful.
Have you considered using substates to simplify that state graph a bit? I find them pretty useful.

It does the job I find. However this is coming from an artist background with limited coding perspective. Originally I had my good friend coding on it but I felt like I was missing out on the invaluable knowledge to be gained through doing it myself. I have however cheated with the use of playmaker but I've yet to hit the walls that I presume are coming. The big plan is to do the prototype arena, vertical slice and a proof of concept trailer myself with minimal help. Then bring people on board with all my pre-production in place. I'll definitely be doing a substate clean up in the future but I'm currently in a momentum phase of smashing out anims and plugging them in very easily, albeit in the messiest of ways.

Wondering if you're from / have been to Massachusetts? There's a Somerville near Boston

I am aware of the town but it doesn't really play into my use really. I'm from the UK. The original reason for John's second name was a place holder for a scottish name I just threw in there. Then later down the line I did some research and found the origins lay in a Knight of William the Conqueror's and an Irish minister in 1690 who fled to Ireland. Both who had stories that held values to the character I was writing. My girlfriend says it's too American a name for a story set in the UK but I kind of like that it encompasses a place, a person and history that relates to the character. Long story short, it fits, so I kept it.
