Riftwars: Week 1 - The Beginning

The Foundation

Before writing a single line of code, I focused on the world itself.

  • The prologue — where the story begins

  • The wider narrative — what’s at stake

  • The characters and classes — who fights back

This isn’t just about mechanics—it’s about creating a world that feels like it’s already under pressure.

Bringing It Into Reality

Ideas are easy.

Building them is the challenge.

This week I:

  • Set up the website and social channels

  • Created the first promotional poster

  • Chose Unity as the engine

And most importantly—

👉 I started.

I completed my first Unity module and began learning the tools needed to actually bring Riftwars to life.

It’s basic.

It’s early.

But it’s real.

What Come Next

Next, the focus shifts from concept to creation.

  • A playable scene

  • Basic movement

  • The first steps toward combat

And eventually—

The first rift.


This is just the beginning.
