Hi,
 I made this project as a part of last GGJam session so I decided to share it here for anyone interested in learning Playmaker. Keep in mind that I'm still figuring out what is the best FSM architecture for supporting character animation (not using Mecanin but Legacy system yet) for such projects so I'm quite aware that it's far from nicely done ones yet. But still - could be useful as prototype or material for dissection.
Feel invited to comment, suggest ideas or even share your own examples <3!

I'm not sure why camera is twitching when moving fast and how to prevent Player from overlapping with walls (without expanding collider). If someone knows - please write a short note.

One of the things I learned from this but happily denied on start is that when decided to make game with character that is big on screen and human-like then:
Be prepared that animations and scripting them will seriously scale up your project. This is because tweaking all and making assets will consume time in exponential manner (realistic time budget = initial time budget^2)

Will this only work in Unity 4?
Thanks for sharing.
I'm on Unity 3.5
So I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work.
