Yep, I am never one to ignore things I've never done. Since I am having such fun with Unity, I thought I would also try my hand at a 3D survival game.

Why? Because I love playing them and want to see how it's done. Like most things, I appreciate what other people have done even more when I try to figure out how they did it.

Here's the first sandbox with a basic landscape and some items, along with player controls. This took around 4 hours; I'd guess, with maybe 30 minutes to create the models.

Next up will be interacting with the objects and hooking up the UI. Plus, creating a game system that lowers your oxygen … and eventually your health. The more active you are, the more energy will need replacing.

I am planning on blogging and vlogging my progress. So you can follow along on PeterWitham.com or directly on my YouTube channel.
