Latest Abrams Tank Model .Blend File

Infantry Walk Cycle

Soldier needs to have a walk cycle created.

xml functionality

Expand current xml functionality to feed data from desertPatrolVehicle.xml which also need to be made.

Storyboard Visuals

Create visual references for 2D to utilize in the process of creating the storyboard.

resource system

-mine (3D sphere) that contains resources(need with script).
-unit functionality to gather resources when miner type selected, add new type in modelUnitScript.
-simple ui that can show and update current resources(with appropriate script).

test out different ways to handle selection indicator

-Need to make script and prototype assets for unit health/experience rank as possible selection indicators (active/inactive or gray/colored switch)
-test different ways to handle projector to make it possible for use with all units/structures (change size or make few different projectors with different size)
-try to make units "glow"/"highlight them" as possible selection indicator
-try to use simple sprite as selection circle 
-any other idea would be welcomed.
-present everything on next meeting (when finished).

Kangee Introduction Storyboard

Please reference the assets on this agenda to locate the script and visuals to be used as a guide to this storyboard. The script does not contain a written dialogue of the transfer of the Velius symbol of power to Kangee but this should be included. A concept image of the symbol can be found here.

Kangee Introduction Script

The introduction of Kangee needs to be written out, accompanied by images and presented in a form that can be transferred into a comic/storyboard.

Consolidate lists of active members

We have one set of active members on the website and other active members in discord and facebook chats. We need a complete list of who we have working right now.

Social Media Background Tunes

We are attempting to increase our social media presence. This means putting out videos on a regular basis. We need to create sound assets that will be available to be used in the background to prevent dead silence from accompanying our visuals. These sound clips need to range from 10-90 seconds in length. 

For this agenda let's create three that can be used as background for videos that are showing the asset creation process.

Add palettes to GAD

Color palettes need to be made available on the GAD for the use of 2D artists.

Infantry RPG Voxel Re design

We need to re-make this model in voxel to bring it up to our art style standards.

Figure out how to glue together navMesh areas

we have two navMesh areas (Land, sea). Air units have ability to move on both areas, but they cannot pass from one to another because there is a small gap between them. Find a way to bridge that gap, to "glue" those areas together but to keep current functionality for land, sea and submersive units.

github.com/Unity-Technologies/NavMeshComponents

GUI part for unit creation

New way for handling unit creation that could be more optimized. Idea is to make multiple panels that turn active/inactive depending what is selected.

Selection circle redesign or remake

So our selection circle have to be either redesign or made from scratch. Its functionality right now only fits one unit (buggy), if you apply it to bigger/smaller unit/building we need to make it fit (resize) to applied unit/building when applied to any unit/building.

Transparent Water Texture

We need to create a texture that is translucent to allow the submarine to be visible under the water.

Texture agenda for water

/agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1818

Incorporating Social Media

We need to incorporate the use of social media without disrupting the workflow. This means documenting work that is already being done in a manner that is complete enough to be useful but not time-consuming.

Command Center in Voxel

We need to remake the Command Center using Voxel. The original can be found here /asset/viewasset?assetid=957.

Review for Storyboard

Review available material for Storyboard. Work out bullet point direction for the storyboard. This should probably include visual suggestions.

Short video

I need a short video of the tank turret turning. Nothing long or fancy, I just need to show motion in a social media post.

Fix the Building Codex

Fix the Building codex wiki.

Testing Animation Methods

This is a multipurpose agenda to document the asset creation process for 3d and animation as it is now.

This agenda will include
1- Tank remodeling
2- Tank animating
3- Programming of the Tank in Unity
4- Create a flowchart of the animation here:  sketchboard.me/LBegOdP1ebyr#/
5- Create a wiki listing steps taken here: /wiki/viewwiki?wikiid=134

Create Infantry unit and attach to 9K38

Create a voxel style infantry unit and attach to the weapon already created below:

/agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1851

Create Infantry unit and attach to RPG29

We need a voxel style infantry soldier to be created and attached to the already created weapon in the following agenda:

/agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1852

Fix bug in scriptCamera

Fix bug in scriptCamera.cs that Aaron found.

Asset Creation Wiki

We need an organized list of the assets we need to create that will show which elements for each is and is not present.

Social Media Thumbnails for YouTube

We need Thumbnails to represent the videos we will be uploading to YouTube.

Submarine Layer

We need to create another plane just like the water surface for submarine to sit on under the water.

Take a look at LookAt method in unity and try to use it with tank

Try to use LookAt() method to animate tank turret to look at "target".

/asset/viewasset?assetid=1599

water air and submarines navMesh functionality

We need to make navMesh layers to reflect so that we have; land, water, air and submersible (under water) layers and movement functionality for them.

Buildings can only be build in close proximity of selected unit

When you want to spawn building from unit, from GUI you are able to select building and then place it, but we want that first spawn some building site (gray cube or something like that), and units should move to it and start building (like in age of empires), but for now it should be instant build when units is close to it. I think that you should only use unitsFunctionality.cs to set movement and ScriptGUI.cs for building placement and probably make new script ScriptBuildingSite.cs for building site control.

Tank Animation v2 per Guess John

Mesh should be merged if possible to reduce unity drawcalls. Bones animate better than individual pieces, normally.

Morphs are good, but pretty sure you can merge the morphed objects into the main mesh and have it still work. Would have to test on the orginal blend file.

Tank Animation for /agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1839 

Just the tracks for now.

New Member Orientation

New members who sign up with our team should do this agenda first to get up to speed on our team process.

First-understand our project. The project page on the public site is a summary of the project. For more in-depth information our Game Design Document (GDD) details the entire project.

Second-it is important for any design or art work follows our Art Direction.

Third-we have a program that has been dubbed "Automation System" which handles a lot of our day to day stuff.  It is important to know that when new content (like models, textures, and audio files) is marked as "IsGameable", the automation system imports them into Unity's main branch in our source control Team Foundation Server automatically from the site.

Finally-based on the primary role you are in, this content management system is designed to allow you to work on whatever role item you wish even if its not in your primary role you selected.  Look below for that role and what details go with it as far as our workflows go.

3D animation standards

Meet with a lead member and collaborate on animation standards for our assets.  Discuss things that we will need to do in order to have a solid pipeline from model creation to animating to unity

Create Smiley Sprite

Create a smiley sprite for use in testing GUI

Hashing layerstags out

research what core layers we need so we have some kind of a list to start with.

XML for UnitModel and BuildingModel

Make script that can read data from xml file and put that into some class. Example xml can contain some data like health, type, name, range and something like that. We are gonna expand on that later.

Animate jet

We need to animate this jet (Agenda link TBA) so that it looks like its flying.  There should be a trail of smoke and fire coming from its thrusters.  Look at real work examples to make this so.

Make sure to record and document this process as well as creating a wiki for the standards of animating that we can refer to moving forward.  

Voxel fence

We need a fence doodad that is tileable as well as having pieces we can can place scattered that are broken off of the main fence.  Look here for a good example.  As well as this image.

Voxel crates and barrels

Voxel flowers

Create GUI Buttons

We need buttons created for the GUI.  A list can be found here.

Voxel grass

Theme: Ash Hollow State

We need 9 grass assets made with the voxel engine.  There should be three variations of three types of grass types. as well as a duplicate set of a different color.  green and yellow green some examples.

Update and Index GDD

The GDD has not been updated to include links to relevant information in each section. I will go through and update these where relevant information is available.

/wiki/viewwiki?wikiid=78

Voxel concept

Experiment using magikavoxel and create a few units for the concept and a small slice of level and aesthetics.  Demonstrate how we can work voxel into our design and the process including challenges you come across making a model and bringing it into unity.  Document how much time it takes, the hurdles you go through, and document a workflow that we can adopt.

Whats expected.  A scene in unity with a small slice of a level with units such as a tank. infantry, air unit in an area of the map that will illustrate how our final design may look using this art style.  Here are some examples of what we can expect

examples example example

In addition a well-documented journey of what to expect with out of the workflow.  What hurdles you come across as well and a document for the pipeline so we can illustrate how the process works for other team members.

Create Automation Build

Create automation build like we had with Xenko for our end user.

MVP Update Check

Make sure all scripts that where created by programming in the last 21 days are included in the MVP build.

Check the functionality of the MVP for any issue we need to work out.

Create Map Concept

This is concept only not the map creation.  We need to think about a scenario and create a map that depict it.  In a list forum generate all asset we will need too accommodate this so we can get a list of agenda created for 3d/2d artist.

This is for level design only not Units or Structures.

You will need to provide example of all assets as an image loaded into the text editor not as an asset to the agenda.  These images should flow with the map a tiger / bears in the desert is not realistic.  So keep it real.

This level should have a well illustrated theme too it and should be include in the task of what you picked with images for proof of concept.

Event Action for Assets

We want the backhoe to build a building and a building to build a unit.

The GUI should reflex this allowing only one building to build and then when not select the GUI button should be blank in the bottom right corner.

Terrain Type Difference

We want to have the ground, sky, surface (Above Water), and marine (Under Water) and beable to use navmesh on it.

Starting Condition

We need to create prefabs for Starting Player aka the backhoe.

We need a spawn prefab point for each player (Red, Green etc)

Building Lay Smooth

We want the building to flow smoothly over the ground and not seem to jump to a grid.

User Interface for MVP

The text box in the chat window needs padding from the bottom of the screen.

The stats box in the middle bottom of the screen needs padding and to have a complete box like the other area of the GUI.

The Menu button in the top right is missing beside the resource boxes.

The reinforcements button and xxx button are missing from the bottom left by the Avatar window, instead their is a long bar of sort?

Create a list of icon for 2d Artist to create.

Script Tweaks for MVP

We need to adjust the camera so it will not clip the far plane but not make it more then just a little bit outside the line of site of the camera so we don't waste resources.

Set border limit for camera so that the camera stay inside the level

Add tilt functionality to camera so when you hold middle mouse button and drag up/down it will tilt to side.

New Member Orientation

New members who sign up with our team should do this agenda first to get up to speed on our team process.

First-understand our project. The project page on the public site is a summary of the project. For more in-depth information our Game Design Document (GDD) details the entire project.

Second-it is important for any design or art work follows our Art Direction.

Third-we have a program that has been dubbed "Automation System" which handles a lot of our day to day stuff.  It is important to know that when new content (like models, textures, and audio files) is marked as "IsGameable", the automation system imports them into Unity's main branch in our source control Team Foundation Server automatically from the site.

Finally-based on the primary role you are in, this content management system is designed to allow you to work on whatever role item you wish even if its not in your primary role you selected.  Look below for that role and what details go with it as far as our workflows go.

Script descriptions on top

go trough scripts and put description for each one on top of script.

Camera move faster

When shift is presed, camera will move faster on w, s, a, d

Prefab creation unity

Create a prefab for all the assets we currently use or will be using with our MVP  This includes containing objects to the terrain, camera, game manager, anything that we might place into a scene.

Organize these in the prefabs folder so that it reflects the file structure on the website

Graphic interface scaling with UI

We need to Graphic user interface to scale with whatever resolution the game window might be at.  Using anchor points and sensible stretching/tiling ensure that the UI remains functional and the aesthetics dont break

Layer and Tags discussion

Open a forum with the team to discuss possible layer and tags that we will utilize during the course of production.  

This can include

• Walkable surface, water surface, buildable etc
• tags for units vehicles, ships, air, miner, builder etc
• tags for buildings, barracks, airstrip, officers etc

Buildings can only be made if unit is selected

Building can only be made from units. When backhoe unit that can build is selected, only then it’s possible to select to build structure.

Units avoid structures

Units need to avoid structure. At the moment they just go trough structure. This need to be compatible with navMesh and our movement script.

Refactoring rest of the code

Refactoring code for building, camera, selection and go trough unit code just to be sure its all done.

Refining combat UI

Using this as a reference and the newly acquired assets from the previous agenda design and create a fully ascetically pleasing functional combat UI.  The UI should be simple as not to over complicate things and be ready to have scripts placed onto it to give it more functionality.  

Should hit these criteria

1. Have a slot for resources
   1. power
   2. wealth
   3. oil
   4. population
3. Selected units panel
   1. avatar
   2. stats box
   3. Units in group
4. commands
   1. Move
   2. Stay
   3. Formation
   4. Attack move
   5. Build
5. officer slots
   1. Combat mission support Officer 
   2. Foreign affairs officer
   3. logistic officer
   4. engineering officer

1. Chat box
2. Button for the map

Gathering Textures for Combat GUI

(TBA)

Design start screen

We need a start screen that will allow us to start a new game or exit the game.  We need a options button that will bring up another panel with placeholders.  Using /asset/viewasset?assetid=1522 for textures create a functional and aesthetically pleasing End User Ui that we can start placing scripts into to add more functionality

Creating GUI tracks

go on sketchboard and create the tracks and agenda for the gui tracks and the debug of unit movement and building tracks.

We want these tracks to work as correctly as possible as well as a gui thats fully functional and prepared for moving forward.

communicate with the rest of the team to ensure that the task is set forth are not only the most efficient way to do things but also the most effective.  

(TBA)

This agenda will be added to and changed as needed depending on the conversations and decisions of the team

Referencing scripts in unity

Find solution for referencing scripts in unity.

Adjust camera so it can tilt to side

Using third mouse button camera will tilt to side to 25 degree angle.

Finding the size for SML maps

Find out how large a map would need to be in order to comfortably fit 8 armys and 8 players.  Update the GDA to reflect this so we can set a standard to small-mid-large maps.  These would house 2-4-8 players respectively

Review Our MVP Status

we need to update the mvp with movement track building treack universal selection and camera for james to review to make sure it follows the vision of the project   We need to make sure the correct version of RTScamerascript gets uploaded and that agenda 1774 and 75 are corrected and units tilt and line up in rows of 5

Set Camera 1697
Create Terrain

Check Scaling

texturer.com/set6672/

Update GDD

Update the GDD so that the MVP and vertical slice reflect the same as our goals and plans.  Once this is finished make sure you update the flow chart to reflect this

Destroy building

Destroy building when hit points are 0 or bellow.

Create buildings

Simple ui for creating buildings that allow selection from 3 types of building (Barracks, mine and F.O.B).

Set up three structure class Barracks FOB Mine

Set up three structure class Barracks, F.O.B, Mine using strategy pattern as described here 
/wiki/viewwiki?wikiid=42
and here 
scottlilly.com/c-design-patterns-the-strategy-pattern/
so when creating building constructor should allow one of these 3 type's.

Building Stats Script

Script for buildings that will contain hit points, armor, list of units available to build etc. This script will be updated as needed while working in this track.

Unit can be destroyed

Update unit stats script so when hit points are 0 or bellow units destroys itself.

Units selection circle

Make circle around unit that is active when unit is selected, and deactivated when deselected as indication of selected unit.

Natural and intuitive movement

This is update to movement, when units are close to each other they should spread a little, and when at designated location they need to be apart from each other, maybe in rows or something like that. Main thing is that they must not fight around one point when moving or when at final point.

Unit movement orientation and tilt

Units should be able to move from point A to point B, they must rotate and move front first. If terrain is uneven they must tilt with it. When selected, right click will send then to designated point.

Unit Stats Script

Script that will be attached to units, containing values for hit points, attack, speed..etc. Should be noted that this part will be updated with new variables when needed, while working on this track.

Movment track pt 2

THIS IS JUST A TEST

THIS WILL BE HIDDEN AND UNAVAILABLE UNTIL THE FIRST TASK IS COMEPLETE

Now that the ground unit has stats we can reference from using this selection code (link) 

Using the entitie from the previous task we now need to get that entitie moving.  The only things we need to focus on right now is getting the unit to move from point a to point b referencing their movement speed.  The unit should rotate in the direction it is heading.  once this is finished using your scene create a flat terrain entitie to test on.  Place 3 groups of five units on the terrain so that the lead can open the scene and imidiatly test out the task.  Units should be able to be selected individually or dragged and grouped.  All units should respond to the move command that are selected.  Units should be able to be deselected. 

In your next task

Dont focus on units clumping together or tilting with the terrain.  The next task will be fixing these issue so that way the units will respond naturally

We will create two or three more agendas like this that we have planned and keep them marked unavailable and add or edit on the go.  The team member tasked with this track should be notified so they can use forthought when moving foward in how they create the foundation for each track.  This way the team member is not just thinking about the task at hand but the next task and how they can set things up to be added upon and fixed

Natural movement

THIS IS JUST A TEST

Now that we have a good selection code on hand lets work on getting our units to respond and react naturally to movement commands.  

In this track you will be task with

-variables and classes created to store things such as movement speed and what kind of unit it is. 

-units moving to the location clicked

-units not bumping into eachother

-units tilt and rotate with the terrain naturally

-units will stop if commanded to do so

-any refinements or debugging if necessary

This is just a summary of the task within this track and could be changed or modified.  If this happens you will be notified and payment is dependent on the agendas completed and will reflect the work done not the initial est.

we need to create a simple unit to parent all units too.  This entity needs to have logic attached to is for things such movement speed, can attack, can mine, defense, health  so that way it can be modified depending on which unit is on the field.  For now set things up for a unit who can only move on the ground level using this model (link)

Your next task will involve movement using this selection script (link)  More information will be given upon completion and review of this task

Considering structure update

Purchase sketchboard.io/pricing


Review this flow chart.  This is currently a way we can go about things but its complicating some things.  Id like to find a a better way to structure things to enable us to have more control.  Heres an example of what would be possible for a good solution

Update MVP

Now that the project has been reviewed using The updated flow chart create a scene compiled with the new updated code and review each agenda for capability and copatability

Reviewing the project

Review the project find out what task has been completed and what works and functions to the expectations laid in the GDD  

If the code is good but needs to be adjusted or improved document to be referenced later.  Make sure that any loose scripts lying around tieing up the system gets documented and deleted as well.

Create a mock scene to see what works with eachother and what doesnt to help optimize the process better.

(TBA  Upon further edit)

WinLose condition

If your F.O.B Structure falls set lose condition and restart match.  If enemy F.O.B Structure falls set win condistion and restart match

Structures and units wealth cost

Both f.o.b and barracks should cost x wealth to make as well as each unit.  If there is enough wealth subtract X from the current wealth in order to create the unit/structure.  If there isnt dont let the unit/structure be created.  Display some short of a message to show you need more wealth

Set FOB and barracks structure

We need two buildings set to be created.  F.O.B and Barracks.  F.O.B Need to create support units while the barracks create offensive units

Support units mining resource node

We want our support units to mine the resource node.  They should walk over to the node "gather" wealth from the node and transport it to the F.O.B Structure

Create a resource node

Set a value for wealth/oil so we have something to reference from.  The player should start with X amount of resources.  Make this value adjustable for the designer in unity.

We need a resource node that our support units could "mine"  This nod should have X amount of at the start of the game.  
We also want the resource to become "drained" or destroyed when that value is less than 1

Set resource value

We need to have a resource value we can refer to at the start of the game or when resources are being gathered review the GDD for the most current information.  

Players should start the game with X resources.  Make that adjustable by the designer

Resources needed:
Power
Wealth
Unit total
Morale

Two units Offensivesupport

We need to have two different types of units.  Using the /asset/viewasset?assetid=1372 model for units that will gather resources and the desert buggy for offensive units

Refine units attacking

We want our offensive units to attack another enemy unit or building.  We have a basic prototype working right now we want to refine this.  Using the desert buggy model offensive unit.  Make sure that when this unit/units are selected and then an enemy target is selected the unit will move towards the target and then stop and start shooting.  Units should "fire" a basic bullet projectile that will damage the enemy.  If the enemy moves units should move closer until their max range then start firing.  Make sure this works with /agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1756 script.  We also do not want units to cluster up if they get to close together as mentioned in this agenda /agenda/viewagenda?agendaid=1757

Units move naturally

Once selected units should move naturally.  Right now they will move to the area clicked.  We want to expand on that.  Units should move fluidly and naturally.  We dont want units to cluster up and "fight" over the same spot.  units should be able to move to an the area clicked if it is empty.

Universal selection

We need one script to select units or buildings.  Currently, we have two that function independently.  We want one.  This script should highlight the unit that is selected.  Using the 2x2 pixel sprite a rectangle should apear when the mouse button is dragged.  This rectangle should have the same angle as the camera regardless of the direction its is pointing.  The right mouse button will select the unit and the left mouse button will deselect.  We need both buildings and units selectable

Buildings are able to be selected

What we need is the ability to select buildings.  Buildings should be able to be selected with the right mouse button and deselected with the left.  Only one building is able to be selected and not a building and a unit or multiple buildings.

Units attacking structure

Units need to be able to attack enemy structures if commanded to do so.  Using the same system in place for attacking units build on that, to incorporate enemy structures as well.  Units should behave the same way they do when attacking enemy units

Units attacking units

We need the units in the game to attack enemy units when commanded to do so.  When the unit is selected the player should be able to right click on an enemy and the unit should move towards firing range, and start attacking.  We need an option to make the unit cease fire as well.  We need to make sure that if the target moves out of range the unit stops firing and re positions as well 

The different states of the game

Most games have a tight design around what the beginning of the game should feel like, the middle, and the end making sure to keep a good pace but also changing in intensity as the game plays out.  

describe how each state of the game will play out, and what some of the player's goals and objectives will be during these times.

• Early game
• Mid game
• Late game

Heres a good article on the topic to get started game-wisdom.com/critical/states-of-game-game-design

Use these resources we have and start a forum where other members of the team can discuss this.  Once we have everything we need to create a document illustrating the topics and things we discuss so that others can refer back to it when designing certain elements of the game

GDD Planned bonus's and penalties Board game codex

Correcting RTSCameraController

The script RTSCameraController needs to be corrected.  The functions that allow the camera to pan with the mouse have been commented out and arent functional.   Also the script references axis's that do not exist on the project at this time.  "PanSpeedBoost" and "Zoom" are referenced but arent to be found.  

We need to make corrections to this script in order to get it functioning as intended.  While you are making corrections there are functions you need to implement as well. 

Reviewing free assets

Download and review these Assets.  Review the GAD and decide weather these assets would be useful for the project.  open a diolog with the creator for questions and thank the creator explaining we might be interested in using them.

• are these assets really free to use, or modify

• Would we use or modify these to use with the current project?

• how malleable are the assets?

• Do these assets fit our standards as listed here

• if they dont how much effort would it take to make that happen?

Building Spawning units

We need to be able to have a "building" spawn units. you should be able to click on the building, and select a unit from a ui menu. and the building will spawn a unit. This can be simple as it will be finished later. Also grey box building/units work fine.

Resource mining

We need a script that will handle a unit mining resources. The unit would need to gather resources from a source to add them to the total resources.

• When by a resource mine it
• When the unit is an inch away from the resource stop mining
• This should be show in a menu ui text box or other counter display

Start spawning enemies

We have a Game Manager already that will spawn one unit for the player. We need to expand that to handle enemies as well. Have the script spawn the player, and a couple enemies on the map with a unit and default resources.

Create MVP

Applying scripts to a scene in unity
• Apply all the work we have currently into a scene.  Including terrain, models, scripts and sounds.  Work with james to see where the project currently stands

Update GDD

update the GDD with all the current data

List Beginning, Middle, End in GDD
• Review this information /forum/listreply?threadid=328 for the contents of the discussion we had with this topic
• Take the information here and update the GDD with the contents

Above the list of things NOT going into the MVP, list everything that is going to be in it. As well as the vertical slice and beta.
Here is a simple list for MVP, Slice, and Beta

1. Camera Works
2. Selection of Units
3. Units Move Natural
4. Spawn Building from Unit
5. Spawn Unit from Building
6. Unit Attacks Unit
7. Unit Attacks Building

Reinforcement Abilities

Commander Skill / Reinforcement Abilities 2 Max per player each game (Flash, Ghost)
• Review the GDD for what it contains on reinforcements
• Review this information that we have for abilities and traits /wiki/viewwiki?wikiid=105

/forum/listreply?threadid=314
• Design 6-8 abilities using the information we have as reference.
• Design with intent. Include the concepts we have and apply them practically into a toolkit for an officer to use
• Make sure to define how these skills are executed. Area of affect? Target? Self application?
• Keep in mind that these skills will need to be balanced so that the majority of players can choose skills that fit their play styles instead of defaulting to one ability because its so much better than all the others.

Create Suburb Agenda Abilities

• Design a skillset for some abilities gained through acquiring a suburb

Create Skill Abilities for Officer

• Review this information that we have for abilities and traits /wiki/viewwiki?wikiid=105

/forum/listreply?threadid=314
• Create a skillset of abilities and skills for these officers to utilize. Keeping in mind the officers background, role, and personality.
• We have room for each officer to have 9 skills to take into battle. Lets design 12 so we have a selection to choose and test from
• Design with intent. Include the concepts we have and apply them practically into a toolkit for an officer to use
• Make sure to define how these skills are executed. Area of affect? Target?
• Keep in mind that these skills will need to be balanced not only against other skillsets enemies would use but also within the skillset the skill belongs too. While not entirely true, most skills should balance within the set with intent and design

Rest API Class

We need a class to get data from a database sql.

Ok Let change this a bit to create a Rest API that we can use.  We need one normal windows console application to house data to get and receive then we need unity to have a rest api class to get and set that information.

We want this in a json format when going from point a to point b and then we want it to be house in a model data class when used inside of the applications server side or client side.

Object Pooler Script

We need an object pooler script that can be reused for any pools of any gameObjects that we would need.

Ingame Menu

When in the Game scene, we need a menu to pause the game, and allow the user to quit the game or resume.

Options can be added at a later time.

Action Queue

We need an Action queue class that we can reference for things like buildings and units.

A public queue, a type property, and an enum for the types should be all that's needed.

XML Data Class

We need away to house data in the game after a database call so we can just save the data rather then doing SQL look ups or Memory stuffing of information.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYWlB7HRNSE

Unit Movement

We want a class to control unit and units selection and movement of that unit.

• Left click select then move
• Left click drag and highlight units then left click again and move units

Building Creation

Currently blocked by Action Queue

We need a way to start getting buildings onto the map. Users should be able to

• press a button that brings up building selection (Command center and a barracks)
• Users should be able to select a building for placement and check for appropriate resource amounts ( From the Game Manager)
• Users should then be able to place the building with no overlap of other buildings or units.
