Chapter 14. Action!

When last we left Ticker Taker, our slightly demented hospital-themed keep-up game, we had two hands bouncing a heart on a dinner tray. The game's mechanics were pretty functional, but we hadn't fully delivered on the skin. If Ticker Taker is about a nurse rushing a heart to the transplant ward, then where is the hospital?

In this final chapter, we'll:

  • Use the dual-camera technique from Shoot the Moon to render a fully-3D environment
  • Set up a movable lighting rig for our Scene
  • Dive into Unity's animation tools to animate GameObjects
  • Publish a Unity game so that we can unleash our masterpiece on an unsuspecting public
