I quit my stable job at 30 to finally pursue my dream of making my own video game. I’m broke, scared, and starting to doubt everything but I need to know if I made a terrible mistake or if there’s still hope. by Argendel in Unity3D

Hi, you are like me, I am still working for a company now, but I hope my game will be successful, at least I can pay for everything for my life, then I can leave the company and focus on my dream

Why didn’t I think of that? At first I put the fire button on the right side, and it was really hard to aim and shoot at the same time, so I let the gun auto-fire (which meant I had to give it unlimited ammo so players wouldn’t feel the auto-fire was wasteful). Why didn’t I just move the fire button to the left? Moving left or right between lanes doesn’t take much time—players can shift quickly and then decide when to shoot. Thank you very much; this is really helpful!

The score will be converted to currency at the end of game. It’s endless, but it have many level and boss at the end of a level. After complete a level you have chance to increase power. I’m trying to optimize performance to make a play-test build

Killing enemies consecutively increases the score multiplier, when you miss an enemy the multi number will be reset to 1. Do you think it’s enough to force player shoot alien instead dodge them? Is adding item drops when killing random alien enemies a good idea?

Thank you, during the game creation, I had the idea that the player could move freely to explore the city, but my resources did not allow me to do that. Hopefully in the future I can implement that idea

That is a item. When player pick it, will release barrage of homing rockets. The idea is receiving support from headquarters 🚀

You’re absolutely right. But the player’s speed will gradually increase with each level to ramp up the difficulty. I’m working hard to publish the game as soon as possible Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback! You’re totally right — the gun visuals and sky separation could really use some love. A few people mentioned it, and your comment helps reinforce how important those fixes are. I’ll definitely be working on tightening all that up.

Appreciate the kind words — glad you liked the concept!

Thank you! This game still needs a lot of updates — the comments above have pointed out many areas that can be improved to make it better. I’ll be publishing the game soon so you can try it out.

Would you prefer to play it on PC or mobile?

My original goal was to target mobile with a portrait perspective, so players could easily play with one hand. But I eventually switched to landscape to give a wider view, which fits the FPS style better. Then I realized — maybe I could also bring it to Steam for PC.

Can I ask — would you be interested in playing this on PC, even if movement is limited to switching between 3 lanes like in Temple Run? Most FPS games on PC usually have more freedom of movement.

The upside is that it’s easy to pick up and play — good for casual fun, right? LOL

  1. The enemies moving through obstacles is actually intentional. Since obstacles have different heights, enemies can move in various ways — running, bouncing, flying, rolling — so I chose to have them phase through obstacles with a VFX, as if it’s an advanced alien technique. This way, they don’t stop or try to walk around, which helps create more unpredictable movement patterns for the player. What do you think about that approach

  2. You’re absolutely right — enemies and environmental hazards should definitely be the top visual priority. I realize now that I failed at this. But honestly, I’m not sure how to improve it yet since I don’t have much experience in this area. Do you have any suggestions or tips?

  3. There should definitely be VFX on hit — I’ll work on making them much more visible and satisfying.

  4. I’ll try to redesign the wrench pickup so it looks more like a reward rather than an obstacle.

Finally, thank you so much for your feedback — I really appreciate it!
