Privateer Dev Log 01 - Toolbox - Unity 3D

The second dev log for my Sci-Fi FPS called Privateer.

This video is closer to the format I want to have going forward for these dev logs - talking about some of the more technical challenges I figure out while trying to implement features.

I'm entirely self taught and still learning best practices - in many ways I'm still a beginner. However, some things I've had to figure out don't have great resources on them so I may consider a few niche tutorials in the future. In the mean time, ask questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them!

Also, if anyone know of some public domain music that works well for video intros-outros, please let me know. I've been searching around for a while but I'm not super happy with a lot of what I'm finding. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiIUxp_aDBM
