How to create a game prototype in 15 minutes (or less)

This thread is dedicated to the awesome publishers on the Unity Asset Store. Without their assets this wouldn’t be possible. I got asked several times how to do this or that with an asset and so I tried to show in timelapse videos how to set up certain scenes. However it turned out that the length of the videos was always below the 15 minute limit of youtube, so the videos were uploaded with original speed.

It is really impressive how quickly you can create a prototype of a game. I do like the timelapse videos of people who do everything from scratch. But what I also would love to see is how you can quickly and flexibly combine assets and get gameplay results. If you have similar showcases to share, please feel free to contribute. And if you have questions, just ask. And if you have requests, feel free to mention them :slight_smile:
