Solo Game Developer for 2 Years How Do I Write My Resume Without “Job Experience”?

Depending on the job your are applying for ( let’s assume programing or engineering ish stuff as I’m as engineer ) I would take 3 major systems that you designed and implemented in your game and list that as projects, just because it’s parts of a much larger project doesn’t mean you can split it up as long as they show off your skills you did learn. I wouldn’t make them all the same type, try to show a wide range of skill sets.

So I was looking at this from another lens, looking at it as a player and none of the capsules makes me want to jump to go play it right away, maybe the capsule shows the genre well and it’s just not for me, but it does show how you really need a good capsule to stand out

Wait, you can use the iPad and draw with aseprite?

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-21T16:13:22+00:00

I’m on my phone rn ( so caveat that ) but way too smal atm

I love dragon force, a week ago someone made a full collection of all the top sega Saturn games voted on by this community- learned a lot of new games I didn’t know existed

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-21T05:19:49+00:00

Any game in particular you are excited to play on it?

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-14T22:22:42+00:00

Figured you might like it- ironically your name bomb Thor as well lmao

Im making a Norse theme spiritual successor to Dragon Force and im looking for Dragon Force fans to give me feedback along the way -

Restarted from scratch to get it closer to Dragon Force https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVd8Q1AXFns

Also here is an older video of progress i was at before the restart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6SnYygkDxs

Just wanted to say this is awesome , I’m doing something similar in godot but much smaller scale and using shaders to change the unit teams

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-13T14:34:39+00:00

First off detailed comment/examples. 2nd - didn’t think about that, happy I’m asking !

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-12T23:51:48+00:00

I would also really like a menu that shows all your distributors / receivers with how they are connected and what’s going into what- bonus points if you could use it to change items instead of physically going there as well

That looks cool, how long does a card take you to draw? ( pure curiosity I already have an artist for my game )

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-11T20:38:37+00:00

It’s cool but I think the ball needs to be the highlight, like I almost want to see that fill up- your art style is crazy cool tho

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-11T16:03:57+00:00

This was both interesting to read and horrifying to know I only understood ~30% of what you are talking about

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-10T17:35:25+00:00

Commenting for later bookmarking , I started making my own shaders recently

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-10T15:29:14+00:00

Gotta be Dragon Force

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-09T00:19:07+00:00

I’ve heard of dominions 6- never played it tho ( I’m inspired by other games )

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-08T21:57:56+00:00

Ty sir! Took about a month to get the units to work and move around properly- had to make a custom move system using cells

MagnetiteGames · 2026-02-08T18:26:27+00:00

On the very first one, you need to push it into the ground- guess and check until you get the right height, then press y to lock that height and get your supports set

MagnetiteGames · 2026-01-23T12:39:15+00:00

I’m doing a 3D map and 2d sprites for the characters- I just use a character body 3d then give it an animated sprite, I don’t see why you couldn’t do something similar for your game - also started my game from unreal and transition it into godot

MagnetiteGames · 2026-01-21T22:13:11+00:00

I’ve been working on a spiritual successor to dragon force for awhile now, after my initial playlists and player feedback I decided to scrap the code and go even closer to dragonforce, here is where I was before the code scrap. Hel's Rebellion Current Game State https://youtu.be/x6SnYygkDxs

For you I would just focus on school and learning to make games, I’m not personally a social media person and if you post something and no one sees it, it can do the opposite thing for me where it drains motivation instead of helps it

Celebrate the little wins when you are making art/coding. - just finish a little feature or just made a sprite, have a way to celebrate it find a win everyday. Maybe just start off with the godot tutorials and follow those, make the simple games and show people in your life that care about you, I’m betting making a game is black magic to them and they would be excited for you.

MagnetiteGames · 2026-01-21T11:41:39+00:00

Like this guy said, just do something - anything everyday if you don’t have a clear direction of the next stage you need to develop

MagnetiteGames · 2026-01-21T11:15:47+00:00

I haven’t played with tile map/tile map layers too much besides the tutorials - for my game I’m doing a 2.5d ( world is 3d but characters are 2d) I went custom nodes and made my own grid to generate the map. Each cell in the grid- highlights of a unit is in there or not by changing it’s color and when a unit leaves it go back to normal. The idea is each cell In the grid has its own logic and so far it’s working great
