That made me rethink my efforts to adapt my game to a much younger audience than I was originally designing for, meaning an easier mode that auto-aims for 5-year-olds, for example. 2/2

That's a very nice POV! Recently, I went to an event here in Brazil to show my game to the general public; I was focusing on adults who like platformers, but I was surprised that the vast majority of the people who tested and enjoyed my game were kids! 1/2

Brazilian here and I am making a videogame! It's called HIIT, and it's a metroidvania in 3D about a robot stranded on a planet! Wishlist on Steam if you liked!

Try not to fall in the trap of tutorial hell where you think you never ready enough to start a project. start making mistakes and as you go you learn and fix and improve what you already build Every time I learn something new to add to my game it feels me with excitment and motivation to keep going

Anothet good place to learn everything about game design is the channel Game Makers Toolkit hosted by Mark Brown!

Bro, just start making stuff, anything that gets you excited! It doesnt have to be perfect and it wont be, but I belive this is the best way to learn something, learn each step at a time! For example I just learned how to make a health bar 😂 Also, read the Scott Rogers book, its a great start!

The idea behind this enemy is to expose the battery of it to be able to defeat it, otherwise it only gets stunned for a short time. Still need to implement some sort of light to show to the player its current status (Patrol, Pursuing and Stunned).

I had so much fun creating this enemy! I'm glad it worked (mostly) as intended, now it needs some proper visual effects to make it cooler, which I'll learn how to make in the future. #unity #gamedevelopment Detail: I'm making all programming in this project with Visual Scripting.

and yes, I've been learning all at the same time which is a bit overwhelming but if you learn the basics, you can learn the rest by yourself by testing stuff and being curious, the learning never ends 😅

Hey, thanks for the comment! Actually, all the programming of my game is being made using Unity's visual scripting! I just learned the basics of VS on Unity Learn and started from there

It's very early in development but I am very happy about how it's shaping up! this is my first game and I'm a solo dev! for now I just put all my effort into programming and fixing (infinite) bugs and made this little robot on blender (animation and rigging from mixamo for now)
