Working on Hot Pot v2!

This is one of the more polished projects I was able to work on, but there were still a couple issues with it as a result of gaps in my knowledge of Unity as well as the usual time constraints. Now that I have a bit of time, I decided I would use this project as a way to learn more about Unity so I can approach other projects better. So I contact my old team and we've been gradually adding more over the last months!

NEW ADDITIONS

UPDATED VISUALS

I figured out how to actually bake lights lol. Also learned how to set up light probes for realtime GI. I've also added a couple particle effects here or there. 
Katherine has taken the opportunity to update the UI of the game, and it's looking fantastic! Still making iterations though. 
Amy has updated the character model so that his hat isn't blocking his face from our chosen camera angle. 
Side note: The plates are weirdly bright b/c of issues with emmisive textures in Unity. 

MULTIPLAYER

I've also added local multiplayer to the game! I thought that hot pot itself is generally a communal way of eating, so the game should probably be multiplayer right? I'd like to make a 4 player version of the game but I don't own any modern consoles to test it on, plus I'm only planning on releasing on itch.io anyway. So the game will have 2-player versus and co-op modes! Singleplayer will still be available, but we've updated the scene so that we can zoom into the scene a bit more.  Also, there's actually a win state now, instead of just cook hot pot forever until the end of time o.O. 
Above is a close-up of Amy's new player model, as well as new textures to differentiate between players! 
Side note: You can see a previous iteration of our UI in this image! Also you can see the lack of GI on those character (haha *sweats*). 

WIP

We're still working on the UI, making some more iterations and implementing those. We're also creating a menu system to navigate the different modes. I also want to try some water shader effects on the soup, now that Shader Graph is out.
