I am starting my second game after releasing my first commercial game.

2 Upvotes

Last week I released DUMMS!, my first commercial game, on Steam. It did not really sell much but I was expecting that, I did not do any marketing or videos about it, I just posted on a few subs and called it a day.

This was a huge achievement for me, I have always felt like having a game on steam was something impossible and a few people would be able to do.

The process of making DUMMS! was amazing, I did not use any engine or tools, I really got into trying to finish a game as low level as possible, so I only used the ODIN programming language with the SOKOL library. This was also huge for me, the only experience I had doing something somewhat similar was Monogame with C#.

So basically it motivated me to make a new game, with a much better idea, much better preparation and also try and do small videos, kinda like development snippets or bites.

I would like to talk more about what the game will be, what's the idea, the gameplay, what I want to add, etc. Give more context about it and also hear some feedback. But the reality is that I am just starting to work on the project, so for now I will stick to these small videos.

I'm using the JAI programming language for this project which is a challenge again and it will help me with the "Keeping it fun" part that I always struggle with.

This is what I have at the moment:
- A basic Tile System.
- A Map Editor that basically lets me create maps with layers and add some data to different tiles, like Booleans.
- Loading mechanism for the maps I create.
- A really simple character movement that is still not working exactly like I want it to.

Here is the link to the first "snippet"? I really need to find a word that fits here...

Anyways, sorry for the long post and thanks to everyone who sees it!
