Making a Game My Wife Can Enjoy

She did appreciate the effort though 😅
I'm not a game dev, I've never used a game engine before, but there's a first time for everything. I've been having a blast using Godot, so let's see what we can do with it. Join me as I continue my journey trying to learn how to make a game.

[@Laney_9]

Yes yes I did 😂😂 You did a great job 💕

[@vortexstudios_echo]

Also you have spent hours play testing so if it feels just right to you it's prolly too hard

[@GreenLightDev]

Very true, that's a lot of extra practice I've had with just play testing the game as I'm working on it

[@vortexstudios_echo]

@@GreenLightDev yeah and on bigger projects you can spend days or even weeks playing the game, I had 100s of hours just on a small prototype I made to perfect fast paced movement

[@GreenLightDev]

@@vortexstudios_echo That's the truth! After a while it gets difficult to know if the game is too easy or if I've just gotten better at it

[@liopitt1049]

Instead of using different constants for the difficulty you could use enums
enum Difficulty {EASY, Medium, Hard}

[@GreenLightDev]

Very true, I actually didn't know how to use enums when I programmed that section 😅

[@sum1939]

Idk if this helps but mabey consider changing the goal. Instead of enemies mabey just focus moving to a square on the screen with different obstacles allowing her to learn those basic fine motor controls

[@GreenLightDev]

That's a cool idea! Like a training mode or something. You might be on to something 🤔

[@sum1939]

Yea, your video reminded me of learning sonic heros and how the first stage had a long section with minimal enemies so i could learn all the movement necessery

[@GreenLightDev]

@@sum1939 True! Maybe Sonic Adventure should've had something like that 😂
