11:00 Unity Goodness – RollerBall CrowdSource

Let’s build another simple game together. We’ll call is CAWD Rollerball. As a group we should decide on what the object of the game is and what design features we want. What are the win conditions? What are the lose conditions?

Then, we’ll need to build some items for our game. Today we’ll tackle the player and the player movement and camera follow scripts.

Additionally, we’ll make assets for our game environment.
