Ankhtombed Game Character Rig

This is the rig I constructed to be shared by all four characters in our school game demo project. I was solely in charge of characters in our small team so I had a pretty tight schedule.
We wanted to have two playable characters and at least one enemy NPC, so to save time I modeled the characters in a way that they could share the same rig. Sharing the same rig also gave the advantage of only needing to animate one character as the animation can then smoothly be transferred to all the other characters using ATOM in Maya.
