Since I’m little i loved to play video games. And.. wait.. you can MAKE games? :o Let’s go!
2018 to 2019 I was making a minecraft roleplay project with some discord friends. It had a in my opinion great story and lore and then I thought, how cool would it be if I turned it into an Open World RPG Game?? And you can choose between 3 characters, and every character has it’s own story and powers, and there’s also an online battle mode with even more characters and Yeah I think you know this didn’t made the light of day.
I wanna make my own animal crossing game! But wait I can’t just rip off animal crossing… I know! I just only make cat villagers :D Wait how do you make a game tho
Hmm, Hytale got delayed again.. I know! I’ll make my own Hytale! Oh this is more difficult then I thought
Really wanna make a game like animal crossing tho… But wait how do I make a game
In February 2021 I met SirCartaux, not only the best cutter I know, also a great horror game dev! I played his games, and tested his new ones and thought, maybe if I start with something like this It’ll actually work out
I watched a video by Jonas Tyroller where he showed a very cool effect where you could see an object from two sides at the same time. This got me the idea for a game where all the levels are the same place, but you start in 1D, then get to 2D, 3D and so on. Once you reach 10D you will meet an godly entity who you’ve been talking to the whole game, and when they want to tell you their name, the game crashes, because your human brain can’t process it. I scrapped it while making 2D.
Explore, now known as “You Just Died” was my first game that would actually see the light of day. I began working on it in February/March 2022 and had fun with it, but I kinda had a depressing phase in the first half of 2022, and then school came around and I needed to do lots of stuff there.
But in July summer vacation began and I could finally work on my game again! I began looking into the project, finishing the first level, making the second one, and then the third one. (Not as easy as it sounds here) Then I of course also made the Ending.
Since beginning of July I had 27. July as a release date in mind, because that’s the birthday of ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and if you played the game you know why that’s important ;) So I finished the Ending, fixed 2 small things and was like, okay, I’m satisfied, everything needed for release is done. It was around 1AM so I thought Ima have a quick look on the to do list what quick things I could still do. I did all of them. The Pause Menu, the “remembering your choice”, saving the level youre in, and some more little things like the VIP Room were only made in this on night. (Yeah I made an all nighter)
I made it. It is done. I uploaded it. I actually released a game. While writing this (couple hours after release) the game already has 12 downloads which I think is pretty good considering I didn’t have any followers and this was my first time launching a game
Heres the link to my discord server, there you will find out when I’m working on something new or I’m releasing updates.
