I challenged myself with "A game in a week" It took me half a day to figure out what my game's core mechanic would be. I decided to make a TYPING GAME.

Where the usual enemies will be there but they can be killed by Typing words. I still didn't have a clear idea of what the game would be or look like. That's almost the end of Day-1.

Day-2 

I started looking on the unity asset store and other open sources assets to fit my needs and successfully found some. I made a level with the help of Tilemap. And that's the end of that day.

Day-3 

This is when I did the most coding. I found out Brackeys has a tutorial on a typing game. Here's the link. I used that as my project base and his code was really clean and moduled. I didn't have to write my own word engine for the game which saved me a lot of time. I directly focused on Enemy Spawning and Particle effects. This concludes the day.

Day-4 

I took this day to find suitable audio files for the game. And it's really hard work if you ask me. And it needs to be free on top of that. Well I did manage to find the files and plug it into the game. And my game was more or less ready. I wrapped it up with a Leaderboard. That's the end of the day,

Day-5 

I didn't do anything else but building the game for multiple platforms. Building for PC,MAC and linux was easy. And distributing too. But WebGL Hosting caused me some serious trouble. Since My leaderboard was a free service it didn't have HTTPS connection. So any secure website was blocking the data which led to leaderboard not being shown. Otherwise I had planned to make the game WEB ONLY. It made more sense that way. Well I had an azure subscription and hosted the game on there instead and I made an insecure link to that page on itch.io along with Binary downloads.

I wrapped it up in 5 days and I'm really happy with what I ended up making. I could work 2 more days and add more features. But Learning to stop is also a part of game development. Because there will be no end to the features that I can add. So I stopped myself from ruining my own game.
