Shooter Example

Example taken from Best Practices for fast game design in Unity - Unite LA

Character has a machine gun that shoots bullets at enemies. The bullets disappear when they hit an enemy and an enemy dies when it gets hit with enough bullets.

Some Improvements:

• Instead of sphere bullets make them appear like white hot projectiles

• Add explosions when the bullet connects against the enemy

• Add bullet shells exiting the gun

• Add recoil to the gun so you see it moving when you shoot

• Add muzzle flash

• Add vibrations to phone when you shoot (haptic feedback)

• Add death animation explosion to enemy

• Add camera shake

• Add dynamic lighting emitted from gun when firing

• Add freeze frames on kill

• Add flash highlight to screen when explosion happens.

• Add bullet spread so projectiles firing everywhere.

• Add slow motion when enemy dies.
