Army Strategy: Idle Game is the first game I built using Unity and C#. It was a learning-focused project that gave me the foundation I used to significantly improve my second game.

The systems in this game are relatively simple, but I still implemented several key features. I integrated Google Play Games for leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saving, along with IronSource for ads. The underlying calculations are not especially complex, but I spent a lot of time experimenting with them, especially later in development as my understanding improved.

The biggest issue with this project was a lack of clear direction. I did not have a well-defined vision for what the game should be, which led to scope creep and slowed development significantly. Combined with the fact that I was learning the entire development process at the same time, this made the project take much longer than it should have.

In the end, I pushed it to completion mainly to move on, which resulted in a final product I was not fully satisfied with. However, that experience was the most valuable part of the project, as it directly influenced how I approached planning and development in later games.
