Had an awesome five hours.  Well excited about the progress so far!  Prefabs spawning randomly around the map and the mining mechanic works great, and now you can even ‘collect’ the ore.  By ‘collect’ I mean you bump into it and it is destroyed 🙂  Just about to upload hour 10 to YouTube, but who knows if they will appear or not 🙂

Got my ores spawning in game now.  A helluva lot of ores, was quite impressed at unity for not falling over when I started to spawn models from a loop.  Definately getting there.  Ores are currently spawned in a looped pattern, so regularly, first task for next hour is to make sure they arn’t so uniform 🙂

Youtube wise, I’m still uploading the videos, and hope they actually get processed over night or something.

Edit : This one processed :

Just finished a fundamental game mechanic – the mining laser now melts the ground where it hits.  Pretty sweet.  This was where I wanted to get to within this latest batch of five hours.  So quite happy 🙂 everything now is bonus time! 🙂 Will be working on spawning my ores around me now 🙂

Note : Hour 7 YouTube video seems to be stuck processing.  It uploaded, but instead of the pseudo-realtime preview it normally gives, nothing happened.  Have a green bar saying : ‘Your file has been uploaded. We are now processing the video…’ so no idea when it will turn up, or even if I can upload anymore tonight.  I’ve still got all the original video files, so if hour 7 is causing a problem, I will just re-upload it later.

Added a laser, which really does nothing at the moment, except get shorter when it hits something.  Annoyingly, all the info I could find dealt with first person cameras, had to tweak quite a lot to get it working in third person, but it seems to be working pretty well for me 🙂

Edit : This video should work once YouTube has processed it, just sticking it here for when ( or if ) that happens 🙂
