Time spent:

• Building, testing, and improving core game systems: ~17 hours

• Debugging sliding mechanics and refining collider behavior: ~4 hours

• Lighting and visual polish: 1 hour

• Writing this devlog: 10 minutes

Development log (split by parts):

Part 1:

• Created a platform for player movement

• Wrote the initial movement script and set player boundaries

• Downloaded the character model and animations (run, jump, stumble) from Mixamo:

Part 2:

• Designed multiple level segments and added decorative elements

• Implemented infinite segment generator with randomized object placement

• Added smooth camera-follow system that adjusts during turns

• Improved scene lighting — made it warmer and more inviting

• Added basic collectables system

Part 3:

• Integrated collision animation and fade-out transition

• Varied terrain to avoid visual repetition

• Added functional slide and jump mechanics with animation + movement logic

• Fixed issue where sliding was only visual by synchronizing movement speed with animation

• Added dynamic BoxCollider resizing during slide (via child TriggerSystem)

Notes:

• Level generator now supports random object assignment per segment
