Get Home is the first game I ever made. I had always loved playing games and it was my dream to make games too. I'm not sure whether somebody introduced me to unity or if I went out and found it by myself. Either way, I got started with Unity's 2D Platformer Template and modified it to make it my own. I did all the modifications mentioned on that page, and added many of my own, like adding spikes that killed the player, an entire main menu with game customization options, and more levels. I even got my sisters to build some levels of the game. If you would like to play my game I have it hosted on itch.io here: https://jaggard.itch.io/get-home. I have not updated the game because I want to keep it as a piece of history.
After Get Home I worked on some other projects. One of them, Ruby's Adventure, was the one that introduced me to coding in C#. I really enjoyed it, until I broke something I could not fix it with my limited knowledge. After that I went back to Get Home and tried to turn the game into an RPG. I built a scene with dark lighting, a starry sky, and a city where aliens lived. I snagged some of the assets from Ruby's adventure, convinced my friend to draw me some more, and found others online. I also implemented teleporters, basic dialogue, moving props, and a great looking level. I learned a lot, and looking back, I am amazed at how much I got done despite not have the skills necessary for such a project.
