Dev Log #1: Beginning My Game Development Journey with Legions Survivor 🎮

Hi everyone! 👋 My name is Cesar Torres  I'm a beginner game developer diving headfirst into my first project. After weeks of planning, brainstorming, and figuring out what to create, I’m excited to announce my game: Legions Survivor! 🎉

Game Concept: Legions Survivor ⚔️

Legions Survivor is an intense, wave-based survival game where you face endless legions of increasingly powerful enemies. The game's core is experimenting with different skill combinations ✨ and upgradeable abilities 🌟 to survive longer than ever before. It's fast-paced, challenging 🔥, and (hopefully) a lot of fun!

The Journey So Far 🛠️

As a beginner, even the simplest tasks turned out to be much harder—and more time-consuming—than I expected. 😅 Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been working on:

• Basic Game Level: Setting up a basic level environment 🏞️ was a challenge, but I’m happy with what I created!
• Game Camera: 🎥 Getting the camera to work just right involved a lot of trial and error. I plan to experiment with this down the road but for now, it will allow me to test and present a playable game. 
• Player and Enemy Scripts: 👾 Basic scripts that set the base ground for gameplay, for now, these scrips allow both the enemy and the player to move and receive damage. Additionally, the player also spawns a projectile (this will be it's starting spell in the future but for now it does nothing).

Defining the Scope and Working Smart 🛠️✨

As a one-person team, I knew I had to define the scope for the first demo carefully to make it achievable. Outsourcing assets and using tools from the amazing developer community 🎨🛠️ have been key to speeding up development and keeping me focused on core gameplay. From character models to Visual Effects, leveraging pre-made resources has saved me countless hours—and I'm grateful for these tools that make indie development possible! 😊

What’s Next? 🚀

I’m just getting started, but there’s so much more to build. My next goals are:

• Creating an Enemy spawner 👾👾👾.
• Create the first spell for the player a Homing Projectile 🚀✨.
• create UI elements for HP and experience💖.
• Add pickupable objects that spawn when enemies are killed(Heal and XP drop🎁).

Follow Along! 📈

I’m thrilled to finally share this journey with you. If you’re interested in Legions Survivor or want to follow my progress as a new developer, stay tuned for future updates! 🎮 Feedback, tips, or just words of encouragement are always welcome—they’ll mean the world to me. 😊
