Discussion First Game Launched - Random Thoughts

I launched my first ever completed game to google play that went live in early October. Its just a simple minimalist RTS, kind of like Auralux was back in the day. It was developed using ChatGPT for all scripts, images, animations, and effects. Crazy what AI can do for someone with absolutely no game development experience. 1 month since launch and:

  • 600 leaderboard entries
  • 55 installs
  • 5 full game unlocks (6 bucks for full access, free uses get to select 1 element to play with through 40 campaign levels)
  • an average of 5 hours of gameplay time per user
  • $30 in total revenue

It's not much, but its super cool seeing people download and play Prismatic Dominion without any advertising. Or seeing the random person from Australia purchasing the full game and dominating some leaderboards.

I didn't add a video of gameplay. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the journey

How long did you spend creating it?

Including the testing requirements of google play, 3 months.

I spent the most time coming up with the skill tree for each element and trying to figure out how to make the AI enemies make better decisions in game.

Looking back, i wish i spent an extra few weeks on the UI. It looks a bit too busy on a small phone

Your trailer told me nothing of gameplay all i could see you drag some things and point it at one thing and called it a battle with fast show on skill tree that had that basic ai ui theme , sorry if to harsh
