Just a selection of characters that I made for the student game Beyond Binary while I was at university. Beyond Binary is a life simulation game set in a future post apocalypic world. Humans have been wiped out and the robots and automated machines that once lived along side them are all that is left. As the player you are the hive mind, controlling all aspects of the robot world. You start by creating your society and gradually upgrade and expand until you have created a robot utopia in your makers image. Think The Sims with robots and quests.
The robot with a crutch was used as the first main playable character and some examples of the animation and root motion testing is included at the bottom of this post. The other robots were all made as NPCs in charge of different buildings throughout the playable area.
