After looking through my initial ideas i have narrowed it down to two choices.

The first option is a isometric survival shooter as these types of games have been quite popular over the past couple of years with engines such as unity and unreal (E.G. The Wild Eight) making it easier to create these types. This also means that there is generally a fair amount of tutorials and guides to help with creating your own and helping if you get stuck in places.

My second option is going to be a hack and slash action role playing game similar to Diablo and Torchlight, i chose these two because they share quite a few similarities from the camera perspective to how the enemies behave and even the combat is not too different. The combat is usually wave/mob based sending a lot of enemies to swarm the player with the occasional boss fight often a larger more defined enemy model with larger harder hitting attacks. This means mechanically that the games ive chosen are similar enough that i can swap later down the line if i feel one would work better than the other. The biggest difference would be in the character progression such as different weapons and how they are acquired, survival games usually revolve around weapons dropping from the enemies or pick ups around the environment. Player progression in ARPGs is often a more complex with statistics such as strength, dexterity and stamina etc whereas the weapons for this type of game drop from bosses or can be bought from vendors and sometimes crafted.

Now to create a game controller start by making a new game object and name it Game Controller and set it to origin position and change the tag to Game Controller and add component, new script and name it game controller, now edit the game controller script. Public class GameController : MonoBehaviour { Public GameObject hazard; Public Vector3 spawnValues; Public inthazardCount; Public float spawnWait; Public float startWait; Void start () { StartCoroutine (SpawnWaves ()); } IEnumerator SpawnWaves () { Yield return new WaitForSeconds (startWait); while (true) { For (int I = 0; i < hazardCount; i++) { Vector3 spawnPosition = new vector3 (Random.Range (-spawnValues.x, spawnValues.x), spawnValues.y, spawnValues.z); Quaternion spawnRotation = Quaternion.identity; Instantiate (hazard, spawnPosition. spawnRotation); Yield return new WaitForSeconds (spawnWait); } Yield return new WaitForSeconds (waveWait); } } } Select the Game Contr...

Now that the script is set up we can remove the Mesh Renderer and Cube (Mesh Filter) components. I decided to add some space debris to keep things interesting as well as boost score, to do this add new game object and rename it to Asteroid and set the transform Z-axis to 8. Taking an asteroid model from the models folder drag it to the Asteroid parent object in the hierarchy making the asteroid model a child. Select the Asteroid parent and add component physics, rigidbody and deselect use gravity then add another component physics, capsule collider then alter the collider to match the rough size of the asteroid. With the asteroid game object selected add component, new script and rename it to RandomRotator. Open this script and edit it Public class RandomRotator : MonoBehaviour { Public float tumble; Void start () { GetComponent<rigidbody>().angualrVelocity = Random.insideUnitSphere * tumble; } } Select the Asteroid parent and set the tumble value to 5 an...

Now create a new script, the reason for this is to create a script that will destroy the asteroid explosions since they are permanent since they cant be destroyed by boundary or trigger, name the script DestroyByTime Public class DestroyByTime : MonoBehaviour { Public float lifetime; Void Start () { Destory (gameObject, lifetime); } } Back in unity prefabs VFX explosions select the explosion asteroid, add component, scripts and select DestroyByTime   then set the lifetime to 2, do the same for the remaining explosion prefabs this means that the explosions are no longer crowding the scene which will have an impact on performance should things get out of hand, this code helps keep it in order. Audio is a large part of video games especially when it comes to immersion and can make a game, of course I can’t make the audio from scratch but using unity store assets I picked a few pieces of audio to use in this project. Select the explosion asteroid prefab so that ...
