During my development of my game “Traitors on the Train”, I spent the first few months rebuilding all of Unity’s tools and when I tell people this, they always ask why. In this talk I want to answer that very question. I will be compare Unity’s tools to my own custom tools. I believe developers heading down this rabbit hole, don’t really know where to start so I hope to give those developers a bit of an overview and to see the advantages of investing time in doing so. Specifically I will walk through my custom 2D animation system and show it is not as complex as it sounds.
