Today I went to the MLH Hack Day at Goldsmiths with the intension of getting someone to help me with my game. I was directed to an online tutorial with Unity. A simple roll-a-ball game. I followed the tutorial and with help from Will, was able to make a working app on my phone. This was a simplistic version, but showed me that it's possible to make a working prototype of something quite quickly. Thankfully the tutorials are really helpful. I started to learn the OS yesterday. I will be able to get some help from Will and Ben after the christmas break. This means that I can direct a small team.
Will suggested that I work in 2d, because that makes it easier to make. But I showed him tokyo 42 and said that I really like that style with a fixed camera. This means I will need to 3D model the objects and create OBJ files. Learn about animation and work out the connections within the game which need to be linked together and coded. I hope that my new friends who study computer programming can help me with this (especially the code )
In terms of collaboration, I want them to feel creatively free and enthusiastic about the project. In order to do this I really want to make the visuals very intriguing.

Will helping me to export the game onto my phone. He spent almost half an hour DeBugging the software. So generous , thanks Will .
