Hello!

Nice to have you reading my story behind development of “Type Off” game project. I couldn’t spend more time developing & updating this game so I thought about letting you guys know a little bit more about the intention of my typing speed game.

Why the name “Type Off”?

Type - referring to typing speed game

 Off - referring to Binary On & Off state

In my digital electronic paper, there were topics all about On and Off state and that’s the ultimate reason why I named my game project after that binary state. After all, a high-level program is still compiled to just 1’s and 0’s that a computer understand :)

Why no fancy GPU stuffs?

If you’ve played the entire game (which is 6 min in total) you must have noticed my game do not have any fancy GPU art.

There are two reasons for that:

1. Lack of creativity + time to invest learning those stuffs
   Type Off is my first game project using Godot game engine. I chose the engine just last year as my game development software. But ended up implementing my project early this year which is kinda late! If you are curious, I was lost!!! I couldn’t even understand the tutorial, what I was copying and pasting at all. Besides, game development is not even part of my computer degree course.
   
   
2. More focus on programming skill rather than art
   I wanted the flexibility of learning a new programming language easily and putting the knowledge to practical use.
   GDScript is my first programming language that I’ve invested and actually put it to use in real life <3

Why is the game still in beta?

Because I’m still yet to implement some additional features but more importantly because I’m investing time continuing this game development.

The game is already tested on two major platforms (except for OS X) before uploading new versions so you can be rest assured the game is complete and playable.

Again if you’re curious, I plan to stop further development by June this year. That month finishes my 3 year long computer degree course.

Monetization?

The wise guys (my mentors) will be mad at me for not monetizing this game. Well, it’s my first game project and I intended to let you guys play for free. Just a lucky charm.
