Activity: 

- Installed Unity, platformer microgame and imported 2d gamekit

- Modified microgame a little bit then created a level with some features using the 2d game kit

Notes:

Worked in Unity for the first time after a very long time(4-5 years ago when i tried to make a small platformer and learn). Using the environmental materials to color the background seemed awfully inefficient especially with all the assets merged together. As for the 2d gamekit which i worked on for much longer, its much more straightforward on what to do and how to do them, especially with the videos. I made a small level where Ellen had to find a key to get to the door to the next level(currently not implemented), and added obstacles like mobs, environmental hazards and movable objects. 

Invested Hours:

Installations: 1 hour, took more time than usual as the 2d game kit wouldnt directly open from the website and had to find a workaround.

Tutorials: 3.5 hours, played around with the features a bit more than i would care to admit.

Outcome:

Build
