I setup the main camera in an isometric way and to do that we want to use orthographic instead of perspective in the main camera inspector tab. So, in the transform section I set the position x=1, y=15 and z=-22. Then in the row below that, the rotation x=30, y=0 and z=0 after which we change the projection from perspective to orthographic and the size to 4.5 which should now be displayed in the game view tab. After that to make sure the background or the areas outside of the environment aren’t visible click on the colour block next to the background label in the inspector tab which should bring up a colour palette in which you can choose whatever colour you wish I chose black for mine.
Next in the projects tab if you haven’t already make a scripts folder in the assets folder then make a camera folder if you want to keep things nice and tidy, then click on the create button and select C# script which will create something named NewBehaviourScript and is important to name the scripts correctly otherwise there will be problems when it comes to referencing them in other areas later. So, rename it from newbehaviourscript to CameraFollow and press enter and once that’s name click on it and it will open in monodevelop which will give you a screen with a few lines of code. After entering the code into monodevelop go to the unity editor and click and drag the CameraFollow script onto the main camera in the hierarchy tab and when you click on main camera in the hierarchy there should now be a section with the cameraFollow script we then want to drag from the hierarchy the player and drop it into the target box located in the main cameras camerafollow script.

Temp Looking at some of the simpler survival shooters i came across a game called nightmare in which you controll a small person armed with an assault rifle and have to hold off waves of enemies consisting of Zombunnies, Zombears and Zombephants and the player is rewarded with a score for killing the enemies. The Zombunnies are worth 10 points with the Zombears being worth 20 and since the Zombephant is a much larger and tougher target it is worth 50 meaning the tougher the enemy the more points they are worth.

Since im basically working from scratch at this point chances are i wont have time to make all my own assets so ill be using a lot of them from the unity asset store and will hopefully have time to change them for my own at a later date, not that having placeholders is a bad thing mind you. using the scene view drag the players ship model from the model folder into the scene view i then named it Player. After that using the inspector and looking at the transform tab make sure that the position and rotation is set to 0 to so that it is in the center. next add component and add physics then rigid body and deselect gravity since its going to be in space. I then needed to add a colider which is done much the same as the rigid-body by using the add component option, physics, capsule collider which puts a sphere-like shape around the player ship, then i changed the capsule colliders size by changing its direction to the z-axis and reducing the radius and increasing its height so it resembles...

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 ...
