My 3rd Game - Toasty Tumble - First Unity Game - Devlog #1

Introducing my third practice game, which is my first built using the Unity engine: Toasty Tumble! It's a simple game inspired by flappy bird. This first devlog has a lot of work preparing the artwork and setting up prefabs for the game, and I create the player character.

In this first devlog for 'Toasty Tumble', the creator discusses the development process of their first Unity game, focusing on the game's art setup, character design, and gameplay mechanics. The game features a piece of toast navigating through kitchen-themed obstacles, with plans for various power-ups and collectibles.
