Bootstrap a new Unity project for a 2D management/simulation game. Use when you need to create the Unity project, choose URP/UI approach, set up folder structure, gitignore, packages (Input System/TextMeshPro), and establish a minimal scene + tick loop scaffold before porting gameplay systems.

When & Why to Use This Skill

This Claude skill automates the initialization of Unity 2D management and simulation projects, providing a standardized architecture that includes folder structures, essential package configurations, and a core runtime scaffold. It streamlines the transition from concept to development by establishing best practices for project organization and game loop foundations.

Use Cases

  • Rapidly bootstrapping a new 2D simulation game with pre-configured URP, Input System, and TextMeshPro settings.
  • Implementing a professional folder hierarchy and Git configuration to ensure project scalability and clean version control from day one.
  • Creating a foundational game loop and scene transition logic (BootScene to GameScene) specifically tailored for management-heavy gameplay systems.
  • Setting up a standardized environment before migrating existing systems or logic into a new Unity project.

Unity Bootstrap (2D Sim)

1) Create project (Unity Hub)

  • Use latest Unity LTS.
  • Template: 2D (URP) if you want lighting/post; otherwise 2D Core.
  • Enable packages early: Input System, TextMeshPro.

2) Git setup checklist

  • Add a Unity .gitignore (ignore Library/, Temp/, obj/, Build/, Logs/).
  • Commit a clean baseline after first project creation.
  • Assets/_Project/Scripts/{Core,Gameplay,UI}
  • Assets/_Project/Scenes
  • Assets/_Project/Prefabs
  • Assets/_Project/Data (ScriptableObjects)
  • Assets/_Project/Art, Assets/_Project/Audio

4) Minimal runtime scaffold

  • BootScene:
    • Loads config ScriptableObjects
    • Loads save (if exists) or creates new state
    • Loads GameScene
  • GameScene:
    • Has GameController with:
      • Tick loop (1 sec) + time scale (1/2/6x)
      • Hooks for UI to call commands (build, assign, upgrade)

5) Next step

  • After this, use unity-migration to map and port the existing JS systems.
