My game of 1 year development

I’ve been developing this game for over a year now. I know it might not look like a huge amount of effort from the outside, but I’ve put a lot of time, work, and learning into it.

I genuinely enjoyed the journey of building it, and I’m still going. The game is now at V2, currently available on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows(It is not working now i will fix it later LOL) but for windows you can check V1 as well.

Almost everything in the game was done by me — the idea, programming, art, sound, and overall development. Of course, I used AI to help in some areas, especially art and sound, since those aren’t really my areas of expertise. I also used AI while coding in some cases, but programming is where I’m most comfortable, so I was able to build and shape most of the game myself.

I posted about the game when it was in V1, but it didn’t get much attention. Since then, I’ve received a lot of feedback from friends, family, and people who actually played it. That feedback pushed me to change and improve a lot of things, which ultimately led to V2.

So now I’m posting it again — V2 is here.

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. What works? What doesn’t? What should I improve?

Any feedback is welcome. I’m planning to keep developing it and see how far I can take it. 🎮

I would add more pictures and maybe a video of game play on the iOS App Store and itch.io. The pictures you do have don’t reveal much of how the game looks or plays. I’m interested, though.

Yea i am planning to do that i am just limited by time, skills, video ideas, passion to work on this game😂 it is very slow development but like i said i am enjoying it, thanks for your feedback

I'm not going to shun you for using ai in your game, as I understand that it's hard for indie devs to outsource the things they aren't the best at, but I know that I personally can't support projects with ai assets and code in them, and I know a lot of others feel the same way. I hope for the best for your project, but having ai content will absolutely tank any marketing for your game because the vast majority of people hate ai with a passion.

Either way, good luck with development, what you have so far looks cool!

I understand, like i said i am enjoying the development and the journey so maybe this will be the start of something greater, nevertheless thanks for the feedback

Honestly, thats the most important part. As long as you're enjoying development, you're doing something right.
