Devlog 1.4.3

After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears trying to get a character model rigged, weighted, and functioning in Unity with constraints and animations, I, the one chosen to try to animate our own character, have decided to throw in the towel.

After sitting down with the team and discussing potential assets to acquire to move our project past this hurdle that has lasted many weeks now, we've settled on the "Low Poly Animated Animals" asset pack created by polyperfect for their stylized cat model and smooth animations with brownie points in other resources we may study or use to further enrich our project.

It is unfortunate that, at the end of all this, we won't be able to easily claim that we made everything ourselves, but none of us are aiming to become animators, and I am very tired and frustrated. It was a good try, which looking back went surprisingly far, but people literally go to college to specifically learn how to animate, and I am a designer who only had a few weeks with little motivation to learn animation to this depth.

Pictures will be shared this when the pack is incorporated into the project, but for now, I'm taking a nap. <3
