To begin a new project within Unity, we first need set up the project files. When you open Unity, be sure to click on the New icon in the top navigation menu, on the right. Once you have done this, you will see a screen like this:

Do these things first:

• Give your project a unique name, something that isn't too long, but also descriptive enough.
• Next, in this window, we need to specify a location for your project that has enough space available and isn't going to be modified by other people (other than team members). This is more the case when it comes to shared workspaces and networks.
• Once you have done that, click on the radio button for 2D as shown in the preceding screenshot.
• Now, click Create Project. We don't need to add any asset packages at this stage as we will be adding them manually later for each project.

Once you have done this, unity will open the project space, which we will discuss in more detail in the next section.
