Is there any better way to animate in Unity than the animator tree?

I have used the animator tree for a while now. And I am not a fan of the visual, node-like way of setting up animations and having to use hash strings in the noscripts and things just feel like they get very easily messy. And I don’t like having to jump back and forth to make adjustments between the tree and the noscript either. I would rather have one central noscript for doing animations for each different type of object I am animating, and not have to interact at all with the Animation tree. I have used the .Play() method to straight up call states in the Animatir, but is there a better way to animate than this?

My dream would to be to create a serialized list of animations that can be added to and taken away from, and use those animations to animate my character when I specifically call them/ blend between them. Is there some method more like what I am talking about in Unity?

I've made a tetris style inventory system based on RE4, and I'm wondering if I should make a relaxing game about packing cases! What do you think?

A small preview of progress on one of the missions over several years of development in a top-down shooter I'm working on in Unity in my spare time. Looking back, it was quite a journey.

Change landscape to portrait

Hello, I am currently creating a 2d mobile development for our project, but I am stuck on how to change landscape mode to portait, my idea is having a landscape scene then when I try to switch to portait, I'll create a noscript that will set the resolution to 640×960 in start when loading that scene, and vice versa, but does not seem to work, I also tried having auto rotation, testing it on build and run and still does not work, any tips on how to do this?

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your level come together
