Touchdown!

Anthony C. and instructor Jason worked in Unity to complete this amazing Football Run!

Anthony C. loves sports and loves making 3D games – thus, this creation was born! Brainstorming the plan for his game, Anthony outlined several aspects he wanted present in the finished product: a focus centered on running to the goal; teams to be color-coded (yellow versus blue); and two player characters on each team, surrounded by three AI players.

To begin, Anthony and Jason designed and programmed a complex touchdown and score system, then went to work on player movement, coding one player to pick up the ball and run while the AI players chase him. To make it fair, the action of having the ball taken from the player stops it in place for two seconds. Jason noted that working on this game helped reinforce things Anthony had learned while making a previous game (aptly titled Running Away), wherein they used the third-person controller to run away from giant spheres that chase the player. 

Once player movement and scoring was perfected, Anthony and Jason posted the game on Anthony’s Itch.io page for others to enjoy! Great job, guys!
