Early prototype platfomer. Listening and learning

Toying around with the idea of a room selector stage and testing out "Gametips" (kinda like a little description message on some assets) as well as dialogue testing.

Looks pretty raw at the moment but we might get somewhere.

Well. A year ago I was doing this. And weeks later has to stop because of my full time work didnt allow me to carry on. Yesteday I felt the motivation to revisit my very first project and Im not sure if I should continue this all by myself or get people on board to take weight of my shoulders and not lose motivation for my lack of time.

Any tips?

Thanks

Top tip, get a different job that doesn't involve working 12 hour days. Otherwise you are going to be in the same position.

As u appear to have some skills I might even suggest go on the rock and roll for a year and do this full time to get something finished.

Quit mu job is not an option. I have no econlmy to sustain myself for a year without it. I do have 2 free days a week, that would be my working on a game days.

Also I found interesting you said I have some skills since I felt like I had no idea what I was doong the whole time.. I just improvised and carry on with it for two months. Had to learn how to create spries, use c3, etc but hey you made my day already. Thanks

Smileh 2 free days a week ! What?!!!? no excuses then....

If I had 2 free days a week I would have made the next big online hero shooter failure by now.

Do you recommend me working by myself and do everything or find a team to work together?

im a noob myself but

For the sort of game you are doing (i.e. not a simple mobile game) ...

as far as I can see, most of the successful amateur indies who turn out a professional game within 3 years (seems about the average development time) ,

have at least 1x coder, 1x music / sound person, 1 or 2 x artists,

of course it is possible to do everything your self but it is all about time and maybe more importantly, sustaining enthusiasm for a project over that time.

Id like to make a team tho, but seems hard to find people to work as a team.

People just think about commisions and freelance work and not as a project team idea
