Getting Interactive

After spending last week getting to grips with Unity as an engine and figuring out a rapid way of working, this week I got my head down putting in the key mechanisms that actually make for gameplay.

This is a picture of the test level I threw together. What’s great about a test level is that I don’t get distracted by how things look, I’m only interested in making things work. Here’s some features I added this week:

• Saving and loading
• Navigating between areas
• Player ability to have items
• Searchable containers
• Items you can pick up
• Items you can put down
• Speed up time when performing long actions

As you can see, all these features are very rough. First step though is to implement every game feature just a little so that I can start playing the game and improving on it over and over until it’s a high quality final release!
