Journal Entry 1

Date: 23. 2. 2025

Activity:

• Installed required Unity version and materials
• Skimmed the downloaded 2D Game Kit project

Notes: I had some (limited) experience with unity, mostly during game jams and hobby experiments, so I just downloaded the required version and asset.

Invested time: Installations: 30 min (just waiting for the downloads)

Date: 3. 3. 2025

Activity:

• Went through and implemented the stuff in the 2D Game Kit Walkthrough.
• Looked at the structure of the project.

Notes: I found the organization of the scene fairly difficult to orient myself in, even with all the added dividers. Found some things in the scenes I think were weirdly out of place and just cluttering the scene, like empty sprite renderers with no valid sprite. My water shader is broken for some reason and even a fresh import build failed to load properly, so I don’t know what the issue might be.

Invested time: Looking through the project files: 40 min Implementing the walkthrough requirements: 2 h

Outcome: WebGL build of the new walkthrough-made scene on itch

• Fixed menu not working
