Take a journey with us through the creation of the various games we are working on. Each game is a work in progress until marked as complete, with decisions and changes adapted and made along the way. The goal is to learn and create something fun to play.
It can be overwhelming to decide what kind of game you want to create. One thing that can be learned over time is to start with smaller, easier projects, and ramp up once you start learning more techniques and become comfortable with a larger, more complex project. So a recommendation is to start with one of the easy projects first if you are a newer developer. There are no prerequisites to different projects, but learning from easier projects can prepare you better for harder ones.

Project Where Am I? App
This is a great starting point and a smaller overall game that helps present multiple concepts to get started with game development. Utilize Unity UI components and interactive elements, as well as REST API and server side leaderboards and updates.
Project Task List
Project Strategy Space Shooter
Another good entry-level game, this one creates a scrolling shooter with a few strategy and RPG elements added in. Players can earn money during missions which can then be spent to make different upgrades to their ship. Levels get progressively harder. Teaches standard collider and physics techniques in a two-dimensional game, as well as some basic online leaderboard setups.
Project Task List Coming Soon...
Project Tower Defense RPG
This game will be setup like a tower defense game with a twist of RPG elements added in. A player can hire different hero types which can then be placed in strategic locations to take out enemy monsters and brigands from infiltrating the castle. These heroes can have different synergies that work well together, but also weaknesses to different types of enemies that must be overcome.
Project Task List Coming Soon...
PvP Version of Tower Defense RPG
As an additional enhancement once the Tower Defense RPG is complete, this module will add the ability to play real time games versus other players. This module will teach Unity3d multiplayer capabilities and look at some of the design and performance decisions that need to be overcome.
Project Task List Coming Soon...
Project MMOSBRPG
The project name stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Strategy Builder Role Playing Game. This game will encompass a much larger effort, and provide a persistent world that players can join and build up a kingdom. Within this kingdom, they will have different buildings that will provide the resources necessary to continue growing larger. Also, Kingdoms will house an ever-expanding list of heroes that can be recruited and sent on various tasks. Players will compete in PvP and PvE battles to obtain the highest rankings possible during each season. Additional seasons will be created and everyone will be able to start over in a new world to compete again.
Project Task List Coming Later...
Project AR MMOSBRPG
This is a project that will take some of the development ideas and work in the prior MMOSBRPG and build upon it with a take on the AR and real-life location-based gameplay, such as Pokemon GO. Many of the same gameplay aspects will be live, but there will be real-life locations to attack players, gather resources, and do quests.
