Things to do?

Here is a list of things that need to be done for this game to be created (could be missing some stuff).

1st I need to do some background research in side scrollers and decide what kind of game I will be made, for example a point and click, a platformer, or a point and shoot game.

Once the game has been decided I will need to do some more research in already established games, what works well and why, what could be improved and who actually plays these games.

After this I can start to create some experimental demos of the game to make sure the core mechanics of the project work. I will be using the Unity 4.3 game engine which can be found at the link below.

And once the core mechanics have been created and are working smoothly I can then create a theme for the game, be this aliens, war,or something different. this will include characters, enemies, and even level design.
