Hello, i am currently thinking up an idea for a strategy game, almost clash of clans related just the “type” of game though. I am not worried about the networking a.t.m. but i am worried about how i am going to start. unity seems like a good engine to start this project on but i just don’t know how to start! Once i get the frame and basic landscape such as grids and a boundary i can really get to work. If anyone know how to help me on the start of this project and maybe throw in some basic codes i will be needing through out my project that would be very helpful! Thank you!
That is way too broad of a question.
First think about your game mechanics and decide what types of data structures you need to set up. If you need a grid, you will need an array of some type of object (call it “GridLocation”) and then you need to figure out what you need to know for each grid location (i.e. terrain type, list of items at this location, directions you can move to, etc.).
There are really so many different ways to set things up; you just need to do some thinking about what you want to happen in your game and how to organize your objects to make that as simple as possible. If you can narrow it down to some specific areas or design decisions you are having trouble with, people can probably be a bit more helpful.
What programming language do you plan to use?
