So I'm finally making a game that, I myself would find enjoyment playing, and what better way to force yourself into venturing outside of your comfort zone then to learn C#/Unity, while the entire Web of Internet watches :) Last night, I did a Twitch Stream, where I wrote a very rough script for my 2D Shooter game that I will be developing over the coming nights. I let the crowd throw in their input and anytime I used someone's idea, I decided to add their name as a Writer :) Since, my Twitch Channel has the coolest mods ever, I decided to make them playable characters... and I decided to make myself.... PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES :) How else would I be able to get them secret weapons from Area 51? You can see the Writing Session below.
This morning, I started to get the user through the flow of going through the Main Menu, Story Scenes, and Character Selection Portion. To make this game a little more challenging to design, I have decided to make it so that for each level:
- A Player Chooses the Primary Character (that they will control)
- While also choosing Two NPC's to fight along with them (think Kingdom Hearts)
I only had 2 hours for the stream this morning... and ran into a snafu... That snafu being that NONE OF THE UI BUTTONS were clickable... After the Stream, I fixed this by placing the Canvas Object in the actual Hierarchy as opposed to an Empty Object (I'm going through this pain... So you won't have to).
If you find value from watching me develop games live, then please toss my Twitch Account a Follow and if you are an Artist or a Musician that wants to get your Art and/or Music featured in the game. Please DM Me :D
