Creating a BOSS (Unity Basics!)

The process of designing complex boss characters in Unity requires a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates illustration, animation, and programming.

• Use animation events to trigger external functions like particle effects or screen shakes directly from the animation timeline, avoiding the need to hardcode every interaction.
• Implement a modular design by separating visual behavior in the Unity Animator tree from the underlying movement and difficulty logic managed by programmers.
• Utilize rigging tools like Spine to establish skeletal structures from Photoshop layers, ensuring a cohesive workflow between illustration and animation.
