MrDino is a small game I created as my final project in the course Object Oriented programming.
I used Unity with Visual Studios and C# and Blender.
I named the game after the main character Mr Dino. The purpose of this game is to get through all three levels and collect the stars hidden along the way. I got the inspiration from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros.
The game is presented as 2D for the player, but it’s set up as a 3D game. I choose to do this to simplify the possibility for future development - if wanted.
All 3D objects are created in Blender and I tried to keep a lowpoly style on everything but the character. The background is basically one big mountain that has been rotated and moved further back/forward in the different levels. The sky is created with three different three colored planes that are rendered with sprite render sky, which creates the illusion of fog.

Setup of the game in Unity
The character Mr Dino is the only object with the function Shade Smooth from blender. This is because it created incorrect shadows for everything else when I switched the 3D camera to a camera that displayed the game as 2D instead.
The character has two kinds of animations I created in blender, a walk cycle and a run cycle.
Stars, Apples and Coins are collectable. When one have been collected its deleted from the level and being counted in a C# class, then its displayed in a canvas by changing the text-string to the new number of how many you have collected. The stars that's been collected are instead displayed as images by toggling the visibility.
(Ps. Hedgehogs make you lose lives.)
​
In level 2 and 3 there are some hidden buttons that are
needed to find to finish the level with all stars collected.
Level 2 - run trough pic
Level 1 - run trough pic
Improvements: If I were to continue on this game I would like to implement that each level has to be finished within a time limit, and if the player has finished all levels and collected all stars there would be some kind of reward - something to look forward to / work for.
