00:00:03.722 --> 00:00:07.444
Welcome to the scavengers project video series.

00:00:07.444 --> 00:00:09.989
Before we get started with the tutorials,

00:00:09.989 --> 00:00:12.383
let's take a look at the game that we're going to create.

00:00:41.778 --> 00:00:44.192
So what we've got here is a

00:00:44.192 --> 00:00:47.082
small turn-based tile-based

00:00:47.669 --> 00:00:49.833
rogue-like style game

00:00:49.833 --> 00:00:52.035
in which we have a player that can move through the level

00:00:52.035 --> 00:00:55.148
one space at a time, each time he moves he loses

00:00:55.148 --> 00:00:58.314
one of his food points, which he can regenerate

00:00:58.314 --> 00:01:01.021
by collecting food pickups on the board.

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:03.559
The player has to avoid enemies who can

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:06.218
attack him and subtract from his food score.

00:01:06.651 --> 00:01:08.651
And attempt to survive for as many levels

00:01:08.651 --> 00:01:10.651
or days as possible.

00:01:11.574 --> 00:01:13.574
We've set this up so that it can be deployed

00:01:13.574 --> 00:01:17.504
to mobile platforms, including some touch-based controls

00:01:17.504 --> 00:01:20.006
which we'll add in the last video in the series.

00:01:20.813 --> 00:01:22.813
In order to follow along with this project

00:01:22.813 --> 00:01:24.813
you'll need to create a new project,

00:01:25.755 --> 00:01:27.871
set the default to 2D,

00:01:28.467 --> 00:01:30.026
and hit Create Project.

00:01:30.765 --> 00:01:32.977
I'm going to cancel for now since I already have it open.

00:01:33.496 --> 00:01:35.370
Once you've created your new empty project

00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:37.370
you're going to open the asset store window,

00:01:38.082 --> 00:01:40.878
navigate to the scavengers project from the publisher

00:01:40.878 --> 00:01:42.694
Unity Technologies.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.768
And download and import that project

00:01:46.335 --> 00:01:48.335
in to the new empty project.

00:01:48.768 --> 00:01:50.768
You'll see a dialogue saying that

00:01:50.768 --> 00:01:54.070
this will import the project settings,

00:01:54.070 --> 00:01:55.779
which will include the layers and tags

00:01:55.779 --> 00:01:57.433
that we need.

00:01:57.433 --> 00:02:00.219
Choose Yes and import the project.

00:02:00.998 --> 00:02:02.998
Once you do that you'll notice that a number of

00:02:02.998 --> 00:02:04.707
folders have been created,

00:02:05.277 --> 00:02:09.038
including a Completed folder which will contain

00:02:09.038 --> 00:02:11.038
completed examples of all the things

00:02:11.038 --> 00:02:13.677
that we're going to create during the series.

00:02:14.494 --> 00:02:16.494
You'll also notice that

00:02:16.494 --> 00:02:18.494
we've added some tags,

00:02:18.494 --> 00:02:21.027
to the tag manager, including Food,

00:02:22.325 --> 00:02:25.485
Exit, Enemy and Soda.

00:02:27.168 --> 00:02:30.610
We've also added a layer called Blocking Layer.

00:02:37.139 --> 00:02:39.139
In the sprite renderer you'll see that

00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:41.139
we've added a number of sorting layers

00:02:41.408 --> 00:02:43.408
including Floor,

00:02:43.408 --> 00:02:45.909
Items and Units.

00:02:48.236 --> 00:02:50.536
These have all been predefined and will be

00:02:50.536 --> 00:02:53.076
imported when you import the project.

00:02:53.932 --> 00:02:55.932
Over the course of the project we're going to

00:02:55.932 --> 00:02:58.945
go through creating the needed tiles,

00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:02.263
animations, adding our sound effects,

00:03:02.571 --> 00:03:04.571
adding our user interface,

00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:07.711
as well as the scripts necessary

00:03:07.711 --> 00:03:09.711
to make all of this possible.

00:03:11.211 --> 00:03:13.654
In the final video we're going to add our

00:03:13.654 --> 00:03:15.654
touch screen controls to make our game

00:03:15.654 --> 00:03:17.654
playable on mobile.

00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:22.240
This project was created using Unity 5,

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.530
but we've attempted to make it backwards compatible

00:03:24.530 --> 00:03:26.530
with Unity 4.6.

00:03:27.136 --> 00:03:29.136
If you're following along in 4.6

00:03:29.136 --> 00:03:31.136
you will notice that there are some differences

00:03:31.136 --> 00:03:33.136
in the user interface, but hopefully you'll be able to

00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:35.844
follow along using the basic principles.

00:03:36.575 --> 00:03:38.575
This series assumes a certain level of

00:03:38.575 --> 00:03:40.575
knowledge of the Unity Editor and of

00:03:40.575 --> 00:03:43.021
C# scripting and therefore is aimed

00:03:43.021 --> 00:03:44.818
at an intermediate level.

00:03:45.165 --> 00:03:47.165
Hopefully as you follow along you'll be inspired

00:03:47.165 --> 00:03:48.499
with some ideas for your own projects,

00:03:48.499 --> 00:03:50.441
and learn some new concepts.

00:03:50.441 --> 00:03:51.711
Let's get started.
