Having a working HUD is nice seeing the health bar move when taking damage and putting in multiple hits to enemies before they fall to the ground lifeless being shoved out the way by the rest of the horde of cube bots and having the cube bots find the shortest way around objects towards the player and having the small effects of light flashes going off when shooting at them is enjoyable and would certainly add to the experience if it was polished. Unfortunately, there’s problems with the camera positioning which in future versions or attempts I would like to fix so that it is no longer so close to the character and large that it clips through the bottom of the environment and the player but should be achievable with a few minor tweaks in the unity editor with the positioning. I would also like to add sound effects to the game in future such as background music and gun sounds when shooting maybe even some sounds when taking damage and on death would possible. Of course, I would like to use proper models with textures in future attempts.

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 ...
