Hey everyone!
I'm a dad of two who's learning game development and working on a game called Paper Crane (https://railix2012.itch.io/paper-crane).
I originally started this project with the hope of creating something that could eventually bring in extra income for my family. We're a single-income household, so the idea of building something of my own that could grow into a source of income is a big motivation for me.
But this project has become a family effort in its own way. My daughter helped me come up with the original idea and some of the gameplay, which has made working on it even more meaningful to me.
Paper Crane is a 2D arcade game where you guide an origami crane through obstacles while trying to stay ahead of a chasing wall of fire. I'm building it in Godot, learning as I go, and slowly working to make the gameplay and visuals better.
I'm still developing the game, so there's plenty left to improve. I'd love to hear what other developers think!
A few things I'd appreciate feedback on:
- Does the fire effect fit the rest of the game's art style?
- Does the game look visually appealing?
- What would you improve or change?
- Any tips for making the fire animation feel more natural?
I'm learning as I go, so constructive criticism and suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks for taking a look, and good luck with your own projects!
