UNITY SCRIPTING / LEVEL BUILDING
I come at Unity development from the art side. However, the following projects allowed me to dive into scripting. My respect for programmers, is way too great to call my self a programmer, but I am well past the novice level of writing scripts in unity, and look forward to sharpening my cut and paste, er, I mean, scripting skills on future projects.
