Limitations & Work Arounds
King Slayer was built in Unity 5.5 when the engine did not have their "Timeline & Cinemachine" feature. King Slayer needed cut scenes to further the narrative, engage the player and as the final encounter with the boss. Since there was no in built feature, I had to get creative. I found a free asset pack to lerp the camera between points set in the world. However, with its limited features I had to code IEnumerators that would time the character animations, camera transitions and clear UI elements.

Timer based dynamic color UI
In King Slayer, the player has the choice to spare or kill an enemy after defeating them. Each enemy has a unique timer that determines how long the player has to make a choice. The UI I coded can take any timer value and any good/evil color for that the unfilling bar changes color between.
Minimap
In King Slayer, the player has a minimap that is centered around them. This minimap has a objective pointer that points the player towards their next objective. The objectives are set up by simply dragging a object into a changeable array of objectives in the minimap prefab.

Shader
In King Slayer, the player can soft lock on to an enemy. To give feedback we wanted an outline that would highlight the enemy character. I wrote this shader for that purpose.
