Some of the assets i downloaded were some visual effects or VFX, i use these to make it so there is a stream of fire coming from the engine area of the player ship to make it look like its actually running which helps immersion. Do this by locating the engines_player prefab and drag it onto the Player ship in the hierachy tab so that it is added as a child game object, the prefab is made up of two particle systems.

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 ...
