Was-sup guys, hope everyone is safe & sound, please stay indoors & do interesting things and cultivate new habits. šŸ’ƒ

So the craze for gaming started long back, actually decades back. So in early 2ks I was extremely fond of gaming and used to spend hours in Gaming centers and it just grew like an endless creeperā€¦ Later to CS background and in a corporate job, now almost close to a decade of IT life, I feel itā€™s high time I spend time to unleash the gaming monster inside me, not as insane gamer though but rather as a Game Dev šŸ˜„

Preview

Game starts hereā€¦

Wait! I have seen this beforeā€¦
Yes indeed what we are going to see is a tweak over the existing LEGO Microgame tutorial. We will be covering the basics of a Unity IDE, how to add new objects, make it work, adding enemy health, adds on to make the game feel much much more better and indeed sticking to a real amateur story line using conversations. So without much delay, lets start.

May 14, Morning

Felt its time to give game development a try, I had previously purchased a few learning materials on Unreal, but the idea to go ahead with Unity popped all of a sudden after watching a few videos of Jason Weimann for past few days (Thanks to you for making me jump to a conclusion)

By noon I had setup my mind to start and downloaded unity and started navigating around basic tutorials. It will be much better if I paste the necessary links & images then and there I feel, so we will proceed in that manner.

ā¬‡ļø Unity : https://store.unity.com/#plans-individual
ā¬‡ļø Getting startedļø : https://store.unity.com/download-nuo
One thing to remember is you will be asked to signup & itā€™s freeā€¦ So go ahead.

Installation was done & LEGO Mircogame selected for further exploration.

Select Unity Hub -> New (So here it lands!)

Once it loads, you will be seeing a nice IDE with lots of tools present šŸ˜Ž and of course preloaded scenes & content on the screen. Just click play & give it a try to see whatā€™s already cooked. You will see something like the preview I had posted in the beginning.

Contents are getting cookedā€¦
Will be updated soon, check in 24hrs pals, thank you.

So to adieu part, I am equally an amateur like you all(pros please forgive).
Its all beginner stuffs and definitely it takes a lot of time for us, but its the interest and persistence which will keep the fire burning.
Stay in touch pals and keep an eye here for new releases : https://play.unity.com/u/subramanian-d

Thank you guys for your valuable time spend to read this article. Cheers.
