Getting Started .. Mock Up and Technology

I have decided to use Unity for the development of this game.  The version I am currently developing with is Unity 4.1.5.f1.  Initially the game will be aimed at the Windows platform with the possibility of porting to IOS, and Android.

After 4 hours of development I currently have a skeleton with placeholder graphics.  I have a ship that can move up and down, forward and backwards.  The ship is constrained to a limited area.  I have a laser that will fire when the space button is pressed, and originates from the front of the ship.  I also have an enemy that spawn in a random position off screen, and moves toward the ship.
