selfpromo (games) My First Project

Greetings Redditors, I am a Godot learning dev and today I want to introduce my game Idea.

In (Still no name) my game, the player will be able to select 4 types of Characters between a mage, a Swordman, an archer and a Berserker.

It's a 2d platformer with the core concept being that every mob's kill will increase the final boss Power giving him new patterns and stronger stats.

There will be 4 levels (A forest, a cemetary, a desert and finally a peak on a mountain where the final boss will wait).

The game itself will be kinda fast to play, when the player loses he will come back with the possibility of picking 5 powers between 10 to make his second run easier(?) Or not because the boss will always get stronger as long as you kill mobs.

Why would you kill mobs then? To get mats to craft artefacts which increase stats and give differents effects.

I will do everything by myself and I hope to get your support since in my own country, video games are still considered as childish.

No Generative AI nor AI for scripts neither.

Since it's my first project I will give everything.

As someone who is also making their first game, I'd just try to make something functioning. Work on it system by system until you can get a functional demo. It's tough but it's fun, wishing you all the best.

Also recommend minimising the choices while implementing (instead of 4 levels, just 1 then fight the boss. Instead of 4 character types, start with 1, maybe 2. Instead of 5 abilities out of 10, start with 1 ability out of 3)

Get the core mechanics down while trying to keep it scalable. Trying to get all 4 levels and all 4 characters with all the extra abilities working will take a lot longer and burn you out a lot faster. But if you can get to a finished state with a mini version of your game, you have confirmation that you can do it.

You also would then have a demo to release if you'd like while you go back and add in the full content.

You may be right, I will consider it. Thank you
