It took an average of 5 hours per day, from Monday to Sunday, for a total of 6 months, from the idea to Steam and Itch.io.

This story it's primarily dedicated to everyone who once dreamed of making a game, but because of fear, insecurity, lack of incentive, technique and skill or any other difficulty that life has put in their way, has stopped along the path and couldn't finish your beloved project.
Dude, just do it! I'm an artist and I always had a huge difficulty in accepting that I could learn an engine, finish an entire game by myself and one day publish it, and this is an old dream of mine, very old dream.
The most important lesson I learned from this 800-hour production journey was the following: Be Consistent. Even falling into an abyss where I knew nothing besides knowing that it is possible for an artist to create a game, I hit my head agaist the wall several times trying to solve every problem.
I did gave up halfway, flip the damn table and then came back and put my shit together. After getting beating a little bit more by Contruct, I finishing the game. Modestly speaking, I am very proud of it, I know it is something simple, but it is also something that was done with a lot of dedication and overcoming.
I know that in this group, most likely, the majority are devs and not artists, but understand this: If you think that you can't make art, just as I thought I couldn't program in Contruct 3, change your mindset. Nothing is complicated enough if you start out simple and organized.
This is the trailer of my game and the link to it, if you feel like playing, the game is on sale at a very cheap price!
I hope you have wonderful!
