What do I do?
Time to load up our unity project, it should be on your taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Once loaded pick the scene linked to your idea i.e., city if you are making a cartoon city.
While you are making your plan come to life you will need to screenshot (using snipping tool) throughout your map development and explain what you are doing.
Hot Tip: use the CTRL + C to copy and CTRL + V to paste images
On your Word Document:
Screenshots with write-ups about your development process.

This video will show you how to use snipping tool.

This has been a small taste of what a lesson in game design SNC would be like. Over the course, we look at board games, platformers, game jams, creating art and music for our games, and many more topics.
