Now for my most enjoyable part, setting up the camera. Start by selecting the Main Camera in the hierarchy and resetting its transform in the inspector, we do this because we want the view point of the player to be top-down so having it in the origin point helps this process. Then rotate the X-axis to 90 degrees, next in take the Y-axis of position and set it to 10 and this should give you a decent view.
Now for the camera component, change the projection from Perspective to Orthographic and using the Game view and set the size to 10 then to make sure the ship is not in the center view of the camera change the camera position along the Z-axis to 6 and then change the Clear Flags to solid color i then set the background color to black so that there will be some cinematic arcade black borders.

Next select create, light, directional light and rename it Main Light and reset its position so its at the origin point, then reset its rotation to 0 then set the X-axis to around 20. Then change the Y-axis to -115. This helps create shadows and depth increasing immersion though it may be a bit weak at the moment so i set it to around 1.5 and 2.0 with the intensity slider. then duplicate the Main Light and rename it to fill light and change the Y-axis to 130 and reduce the intensity to round half, in this case 1. Duplicating the fill light and rename it rim light and reset its transform so its at origin, and set its Y-axis to 65 and the X-axis to -15 and set the intensity to 0.5. Create a new game object and name it lighting and reset its transform and drag the lights into it to help organize the hierachy and then set the Lightings position Y-axis to 100 so that its up and out of the way of the player ship.

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 ...
