Where do I start?


Nine months ago, my daughter asked me for a video game. I asked what kind she wanted and she simply stated a home for her monsters. Over the next few months, I went about trying to figure out what that would entail. Oh my, I over scoped. I wasted my time on so much technology and attempts at making it for mobile for the iPad, trying to get it to interact with the device camera and the qr scanner, and so much more. I spent 7 months trying and failing just to learn those basic concepts.

Next thing I knew, my daughter's birthday was only a couple months away. I started to scope down and down and eventually decided that a 4 year old will be happy with almost anything I put in. So, this is the result of that. In this prototype, my daughter is the main character and walks around meeting the one monster inside the hotel. In the next few months until Christmas, I'll be starting over. I'll start focusing creating a better building, new player controller, wonderful art designed by my partner, and building my own tools within Unity instead of using the kit that I've been using as a crutch for this prototype.

I will make this update and share it with you all.
