Gun Kata

is done in Unity, so C# is the language being used. The moment-to-moment gameplay is largely split into two parts, exploration and combat. Exploration features a dynamic floating virtual joystick to control the player with swipes on separate parts of the screen moving the camera. 

On tapping an enemy, the game splits into a combat mode with restricted movement and a locked camera, presented in the image to the right, using a tap input to shoot and lock onto enemies, while swiping in different directions to perform "elemental" damage strikes. 

Combat mode uses a dynamic dodge system, which limits player ability to dodge based on the space they have around them. This system was done using a series of raycasts out of the player that trigger on position changes, where accessibility of locations at relative angles will dynamically enable/disable the input buttons.

Gun Kata was designed from the ground up to be fully playable in both portrait and landscape modes, with menus, controls and UI positions freely switching as needed. 

This functions with each UI object having two variants, one for landscape and one for portrait, where any orientstion switch event will trigger both objects to be updated to a state. The switch is managed through a CanvasOrientationManager that triggers the event on aspect ratio change.
