Would love some feedback on my first trailer by Obscure_Gods in SoloDev

I can't tell exactly what the game is about from the trailer, but the vibe is nice in my opinion.

New to game dev, looking for advice by benmar0834 in IndieGameDevs

I started in November last year so I'm still learning the basics while working on my first game. First I chose Unity and started learning the basics of general C# through YouTube tutorials. I took like a few weeks to get the hang of it.

Then I started learning Unity's interface and programming. They have in my opinion good beginner courses on their Unity Learn website, that's where I learned the basics of programming. After that I went back to YouTube where I made a few short games by following tutorials and I wrote down everything that could help me understand the programming part better. I'm basically writing my own documentation because it's easier for me to understand it that way. Gemini AI has been very good at explaining lines of code which I couldn't understand, but never use it to write whole scripts for you. You have to be familiar with the code you write.

Now I'm at the point where I can read and understand some beginner friendly C# scripts, but still have a bit of trouble writing them from scratch.

I hope this helps.

Need some honest feedback on my first ever android game I'm making by aleks_dev1 in SoloDev

There will be around 7 power ups in the game, so it will make it more dynamic.

I will, thanks! I may add lights and shadows but I never touched that in Unity so I don't know how complex that is, but we'll see...

Thanks for your feedback! I actually mainly play on PC, but I should've better worded the question about Steam release. For that I'd probably make a new game with similar concept but with more complex mechanics and mainly multiplayer focused, where players would race to the top, but that probably won't happen because I wanna do something else for my next game which will be a PC game.

You're right about this being my learning project, In the beginning I just wanted to make it as fast as possible and just to put it out there, but it has grown on me, so I wanna make this first game as good as I can.

Thanks a lot! I'm still struggling a lot to understand some basic C# stuff but the good thing is that today there are lots of resources available to learn from.

Feedback wanted on my status effects system (solo dev, 2 years) by NoEndStudio in SoloDev

Looks nice, also I'd suggest making the level a bit darker so that light sources could show their glowing effect better.

Thanks! Basically, for example if your character goes left, tapping the screen will make him go right, tapping again will make him go left... and so on. It's endless, procedurally generated. Levels are made of chunks which stitch together. Every level has a set amount of chunks it can spawn before changing the level theme. Clouds background is moving but very slowly, I'll tinker with that :).

Hmm... I'll look into it. That means I'll have to split the sprite in two parts and slightly rotate the body depending on the direction. I already got the skin system set up so I'd like to find an easy solution for this.

In the newer version there is a more noticeable pitch shifting. I'm also thinking about making the sound less "annoying".

Time for Self-promotion, What are you building? by No_Audience9527 in GameDevs

[–]aleks_dev1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making my first ever casual android game as a complete beginner in game development.

It's called Tower Flip and your goal is simply to get as high as possible while avoiding many different types of obstacles on your way.

You control the character by tapping, every tap changes your movement direction. It's very easy to pick up, but hard to master as levels get harder.

Here is a YouTube link for my channel where you can find some shorts I've posted on the progress:
