You want ideas?

#

I’m not really a creative type but try a bullet hell game

#

Maybe bullet hell but the only way to attack is to have the enemies kill each other

#

how much experience do you have? any finished projects or itch.io page so we can see your work and gauge the kind of project that would be suited to you?

#

if you're just getting started, I really recommend Unity Learn. It's totally free and will teach you all you need to know about making games in Unity, and as part of the course you'll make like 5 games!

#

but ok

#

here is my first Demo 2D game ever

sand shore
#

haha don't worry, my most impressive game is literally about dropping poos in a toilet

granite valve
#

yo wtf, ok

sand shore
#

we all suck, and we'rte trying to suck less

granite valve
#

i guess your mind is like that lol

sand shore
#

I think the hardest thing about game dev is that you have to make like 50 bad games before you start to make your first good one

#

I'm not even kidding lol

#

it's a terrible game, but it's progress haha

#

But srs Unity Learn is so good

#

half the battle of game dev is figuring out what tool you need for your current problem, and you can't do that without knowledge

#

there are no shortcuts

#

think about it - you wouldn't walk up to a classical composer and ask for a shortcut to writing a symphony

#

same goes for this medium,

granite valve
#

yes

#

This is my first game

#

It bad

#

I know

#

it not finished 😦

#

@here

#

@sand shore

#

Did you play it

sand shore
#

Just played - I think it's promising!

granite valve
#

ik it's ass

sand shore
#

Have you ever played Thomas Was Alone?

granite valve
#

no

sand shore
#

what's your steam ID?

granite valve
#

what the hack is dat

sand shore
#

I'll buy it for you

#

it made game of the year like 9 years ago

#

and it looks like your game

granite valve
#

no

sand shore
#

it would be good research for you to play it

#

suit yourself - buy it yourself if you prefer

#

but I think you would benefit from playing through it, and understanding the components of a successful game

granite valve
#

it's 100% better than mine cause mine is ass and his game is not-ass

sand shore
#

fair enough, you'd best give up on gamedev then

granite valve
#

But i love my progress so far

sand shore
#

sand shore
#

Are you using structured study? That's when I'd recommend Unity Learn again

#

or any kind of OOP course

granite valve

granite valve
