Project creation

At this point, I assume that you have freshly installed Unity and have started it up. Follow these steps to create a new project in Unity:

1. With Unity started, go to New Project. Enter a Project Name value such as FPS Game - Chapter 1 as that's what we are making and the chapter we're making it for, or whatever you want to call your project. Select Location of your choice somewhere on your hard drive and ensure that you have your game set to 3D. Once completed, select Create project. At this point, we do not need to import any packages as we'll be doing it manually.

   

2. Here on, if you see the Welcome to Unity pop up, feel free to close it as we won't be using it. At this point, you will be brought to the general Unity layout, which should look as follows:
