My Gamedev Progress

[u/Sarn7]

Hello everyone!

my name is ali, i'm a cs student (and former security guard) turned gamedev!

i started game dev around 2 years ago i think but i could never dare to attempt to develop a full game, until someday i decided i've had enough and committed to pursue my passion and this is the result!

i released my first game ever on steam this month and it didn't do too bad i think :).

i had way too many sleepless nights, way too many days where i haven't left my house, but to me, even ifs not a massive success, i think its worth it, not for the monetary gain, but the feeling that i have done something in my life that people have fun playing, something that has my name in it, something that if something were to happen to me, i know that atleast i didn't go without a trace lol.

i love vampire survivors, i love RPGs, so i decide to combine them both into one game and this is the result, Echoes of Kyria:

You're doing great. I know firsthand how difficult it is to create a game alone. And it's great that you were able to complete the game! Even if it doesn't turn out to be a huge success, it's still invaluable experience that will be useful for future projects.

Indeed! Thank you for your kind words ;)

This is fantastic, well done! It kind of reminds me of Runescape 3, idk if it's an inspiration ?

[u/Sarn7 → u/rimnas12]

Sorta, i like runescape 3 and have played it alot! But my main inspirations were WoW (aesthetically) and vampire survivors (gameplay)

This motivates me to create Dota in first person view

This looks impressive and I honestly want to give it a try! I have question tho, which engine you used for it how hard was it? I’m also in cs and I want to start game dev myself

[u/Sarn7 → u/TrgtBBB]

I used unity and no it wasn't hard at all, i knew C# quite well beforehand, so it was all about learning the unity engine itself. I did a few courses on udemy just to get learn a little bit of how unity works.

Thank you for your kinds words ;).

[u/TrgtBBB → u/Sarn7]

From what I see, the game looks like a rouge like with 3d gameplay elements. That seems interesting, I’ll probably aim for a standard 3d game. But I mostly work with C++ so unity is off the table for me I guess

Looks pretty cool

[u/SaladinSeahorse]

Much better progress.
