DBC-RPG

How to open the Unity Project without messing up

1. Clone the repo on your local machine
2. Open Unity then go to File -> Open Project and select the whole Unity Folder (NOT the single scene inside!)

If you double-click the single scene to open the project Unity will create a LOT of unnecessary sub-folders for that scene :(

http://www.namekdev.net/2014/08/working-on-workflow-for-unity-and-git/ (posted 1/2/2014 -chris) working with git/unity sounds like a nightmare and some merge conflicts can be disastrous.. in the link above, it contains some resources and pointers on working with git/unity. this can end up being very very painful if not done correctly

###User Stories (MVP)

1. I want to start a new game
2. I want to save & load a saved game (implement login system)
3. I want to be able to select a character (gender & stats)
4. I want to be able to move around and interact with the map
5. I want to be able to have turn-based combats
6. I want to pause the game (-save -option -exit)

Timeline

• December 18: Got our groups, tried deciding between JavaScript Frameworks vs. Unity. Split into pairs to figure out which was best. No conclusions made.
• December 19: Made a decision to use Phaser.io during morning stand-up. Able to make a map with a character that was able to collect consumables and access a new state through a door.
• December 20: CHRIS FLEW BACK HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Rest of group continued to work with Phaser, but ran into issues with persistence across states, interactions between characters, and lack of documentation/examples. So the team decided to scrap all previous work and spike on Unity/C# because we know Unity will provide the support we need for this game.

Team Doge: Feel free the edit this timeline(or any part of this document anytime, especially if the info isn't corrent, lol).

Our initial goal for a MVP was December 25th, but with switching to Unity on December 20th, this will be a difficult deadline to meet. We'll see as the week progresses.
