Day 11: Transitioning between Scenes

Creating the scenes had been enough of a challenge for me; to be able to fluently transition from one scene to another was a whole other problem. It wasn't that the transitioning itself was necessarily hard, I had just never done anything like it before, and didn't know what to expect. And so I conceded to Youtube tutorials once again, learning as much as I could from them about animator controllers, changing alpha values to make a fade to black transition, and how only scenes put into the build settings would be transitioned between. After countless hours of research and coding, I finally managed to get a very rudimentary fade to black transition going when the space bar is pressed. I heaved a heavy sigh, and thanked the stars the hard part was over. All that was left to do was finishing touches, and I would be done.
