Timeline Raider — Forward-Scrolling Shooter (Mobile & PC)

Status: In development (active) • Engine: Unity (C#) • Platforms: PC (arrow keys and mouse), Mobile-ready
Key tech: ScriptableObjects, Object Pooling, event-driven state flow, low-poly assets, Blender/Mixamo

Timeline Raider is a forward-scrolling shooter where the world advances through distinct eras
(Caveman → Pharaonic Egypt -> Clasical Greece -> Medieval → WW2 → Modern → Futuristic → Cyberpunk).
Each era brings its own environments, enemies, allies, outfits, weapons, and balancing.

✨ Features

• Era-based progression: Unique environments, enemies, allies, weapons, and HP/damage curves per era.
• ScriptableObject weapon system: Centralized stats (damage, fire rate, projectile type, splash radius/damage, visuals, animations).
• Mobile performance: Low-poly assets + Object Pooling for bullets, enemies, allies, VFX, pickups, and road chunks.
• Event-driven scene/state flow: Lose/Pause, pickup logic, ally management.
• Content pipeline: Blender (low-poly + edits), Mixamo (unified rig & shared animations), Unity Particle System for VFX.

🧱 Architecture (high level)

• ScriptableObjects/WeaponData – weapon stats + projectile and pickup references + vfx + animations
• ObjectPoolManager – pooled spawning/despawning
• RoadScroller – forward world movement via recycled chunks
• EraManager – era management
• SpawnManager – enemies/walls/pickups/bosses/allies orchestration
• AutoShooter – player & ally auto-firing

📦 Tech Stack

• Unity (C#) — gameplay, systems, UI Toolkit/TMP
• Blender — low-poly modeling and edits
• Mixamo — shared armature & cross-compatible animations
• Git — version control
