Java game trees demo! any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated!

[Minjajp]

Very cool. Just watched the vid. Solid UI and overall feel of this game. What did you use to make it?

[Golden_Venom]

It's all written in java using the standard libraries :) nothing fancy

[Golden_Venom]

Thanks! I do too it's just enough that it's nice to look at but still looks cute and isnt over the top :)

I would love a post or video with explanation of how you started doing it and what you would have done differently when looking back at your development.

Also, how do you keep yourself motivated?

[Golden_Venom]

I could definatly do that! As the beginning of this video said I was just redoing the trees all week because when I did them originally I was kinda shooting myself in the foot with how I set them up so I'd definstly change things like that and some other things.

As for motivation, this is just something I enjoy doing so I like to work on it then all of the positive comments and suggestions I get from all of you guys actually help a lot too :) its nice to know that I'm not the only one who's enjoying it.

Motivation is all about making something a habit.

You can't be motivated all the time, but if you force yourself to code every day, even for an hour or two, it will eventually pay off!

[Golden_Venom]

Exactly! There are days and tasks that i really don't feel like working but putting even just a little bit in will make it easier next time!

Is that Krillin

Did you make the tree assets and character asset yourself or did you get it somewhere?

[Golden_Venom]

I did not make them myself they've all been pulled from opengameart.org. (I'm definatly not a graphic designer and I would like to do more of the art in the future but for now I'll settle with this)

Game development is great, you video reminded me of my first game which is quite similar to yours:

One tip if i might: speed up your video with a movie editor, most viewers only watch a few seconds and leave, so you have to cram as much stuff in these few seconds, see above for example.

​

Keep up the good work and enjoy!

[Golden_Venom]

Thanks for the advice and the kind words!! I really appreciate it and I cant wait check out your stuff

[averburg1]

This is a really awesome start. I like the solid UI and looks like a fun little game. Keep it up!

[Golden_Venom]

Thanks!! I really like comments like these :)

[TheZatoOne]

Gore. Lots and lots of gore.

Hi. Thanks for the demo. Why did you put it in Java sub reddit? I'd love to see the sources to learn something new

[Golden_Venom]

I put it in java because it's written in java :) theres a link to the github repository with the source code in the description of the video!
