Solo Project Creator: Kyle Russell
Description: The Copse arena is an RPG based around combat and story. The idea of the game is to be entirely based in one arena. The player starts being able to pick one of three characters: Korat the Brave, Shalidar the Snake or Menesa the Mystical. The game is designed on the fundamentals of mass replay ability. So, depending on which character you pick the players should feel as if he is playing a different game. Each character will interact with NPC’s differently both in and out of combat. Each fighter is designed to involve different strategies to defeat their opponent. Out of combat there will be different dialogue depending on which NPC is interacted with as everyone in the arena foyer (The Roots) will treat each character differently. The idea behind having dialogue playing a major part in the game is to break the game into two key components. The first being combat and the second being story. Each character has their own motivations for wanting to become the champion of the arena.

EG Overworld scene, main menu etc. Root/CopseArena-Game/Assets/Scripts: The code scripts which make the game run! All of the coding is practically found here Root/CopseArena-Game/Assets/Tiled2Unity: This folder is third party addon of Unity which helps create tile maps, all the tiled maps are located at Root/CopseArena-Game/Assets/Tiled2Unity/Prefabs

- Not enough commits + changelog items to pass at this frequency.
- I couldn't find your text-based data. Create a root folder "data/" and put all your JSON files in there.
<<<<<<< HEAD
- Your changelog needs more entries. At least, I hope you're working more than this :)
- I'm still not sure where your game data files are. You need to get to this very quickly, as you can't start building your game until you can at least load the levels/world of your game. So work on getting loading working (from data files) asap.
