I’m creating a puzzle game with shooter elements! I actually have quite a bit of dev experience, but this is my very first jam. Before this, I spent a lot of time just learning and dealing with imposter syndrome.

I might drop a screenshot or a GIF a bit later when there’s more to show, but shh... 🤫 What about you? What are you working on?

I usually make plaformers in a pixel art style so im switching that up and making a roguelite where you are the spinning wheel, and each time you hit an enemy it chooses a random power from your inventory, but you can jump to stop the wheel at a specific time (while its spinning you cant see the powers). Yours sounds great though

Wow, playing as a spinning wheel with a casino-style mechanic sounds incredibly unique for a roguelite! Stopping the wheel with a timed jump is a super cool twist. Thanks for the kind words about my project, can't wait to see how your concept turns out!

This isnt a criticism, but are you a native english speaker?

Alexey Nazariev1 day ago

Haha, actually no! I'm just trying to practice my English and write better, though it might look a bit funny from the outside. I live in the CIS region. What made you ask, and what's your native language, if you don't mind me asking?

Just the wording lol, all good though. I'm a native english speaker but I grew up learning french so I'm bilingual

Alexey Nazariev1 day ago

Oh, being bilingual in English and French is awesome! That's a flex. Thanks again for the feedback on my wording, makes me feel much better about my English skills!

i am making a pixel art game about a sock stuck in a washing machine. You must dodge other objects and try to survive as long as possible.
