CHAPTER 16

EnemiesUsing Blender to Make Robot Sprites

In this rather large chapter, you’ll start the development of enemies in DotGame. First, you’ll tackle enemy robots. Then, you’ll create spikers, blockades, and question marks. You’ll be using Blender to make them, and then you’ll export them as 2D sprites, ready for use in Unity. Finally, you’ll code the basic movement of the enemies and put in collision detection.
