Hey dude! I'm a game dev as of 7 years or so, and I have a couple recommendations you can ignore or keep in mind: First, juice. In bullet hells, juice is EVERYTHING. Slap on all the post processing you can. Camera shake, camera position lerping, particle systems EVERYWHERE, bloom and lighting, as many parallax layers as possible, and multiple ambient particle systems can alone bring a game from looking "off" to looking beautiful and polished. Second, you should choose at least one unique mechanic for your game. What makes it unique? What makes your game stand out mechanically from other games? I think you could do a lot with movement systems, since your character has one wing. What else, though? Most importantly, don't give up or restart! You can look into the fresh start fallacy, but it's a trap most indie devs fall into many times. I hope this helped! I'd love to see the end result of this game! Keep up the good work!
You seem to be putting a lot of effort and love for detail into your animations, and seem to have a knack for story telling, this deserves a lot more views! It's also very impressive how organized both of you are working on this project at this age and I hope you'll keep pushing each other forward on this! Very glad RUclips randomly recommended me this video and I'm looking forward to your videos and game!
I just turned 16 and Im also currently working on my dream game, but Im not near as far into development, nor as devoted to it as you two. This vid was a huuge inspiration to me and I think Im gonna start my own yt channel documenting my progress soon!
yeah i know how u feel, trust me it'll come, sometimes you just need to push yourself, because waiting for motivation doesn't always work, but do take breaks. I wish you luck.
morse code at the end is: "RIFT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS DETECTED IM TRYING TO SAVE YOU D O N K E E S" not sure what the last bit is meant to be, could be an error. could be forgetting something. could also be foreshadowing. dunno.
Dang, the time traveling part was cool. i was a small gamedev, i develop 2 indie gameboy homebrew horror games for 2 game jams: Kenney Jam 2024, and GBJam 12. May you shall get more subscribers. Plus, i was 16 too ❤❤❤
yo yo man this is awesome!!! i do reccomend to take some breakes from time to time tho otherwise youll overwork yourself and be miserable which isnt very healthy for both you and your project
This is such a cool project. Not only is the game itself really cool and a nice idea for a game, but you’re a 16 year old dev making a game better than people like EA. I don’t know if that shows your good or their bad (probs both), but still. Good luck on the rest of development, you will probably need it!
Awesome video man!!! I hope your game will blow up upon launch because it looks really promising within its infancy phase. Any planned release date or is it uncertain so far?
I have been wanting to learn coding so badly but I have ADHD and everytime I try to learn I instantly stop doing it. Guys? I need tips please? I also hold alot of ambition with my ideas.
Maybe try watching really short tutorials at a time so that you can give more focus into one video, and just try doing gamedev in short sessions. Maybe you could try working on your game a little longer every two days. Hopefully this is a good tip and I wish you luck.
@ I will try this, Thanks man. I will just search up specific parts of gamedev and maybe that will help. I was planning on doing modding for Terraria, And Indie development overall. And maybe I can show one of my ideas at a later time for you! If you ever wanna hear mine of course. (People say my story-telling is really good.)
My biggest tip would be to watch lots of tutorials, then make a really simple game, e.g: a square that can move. Then just keep challenging yourself, watch more tutorials and ask questions.
Nice idea actually, I try to learn how to create my first game and it is hard, but with this video and many others i still learn, thx 😁 (Btw, where can I find the game or demo when there is one?)
Me and porger have a gigantic Milanote project we use to organize everything from youtube to the burrow. I also have a massive google calendar and google tasks as well as a few notebooks at home, but Milanote is what I mainly use and I'd highly recommend it, the free version is amazing.
Milanote for planning Visual Studio for code Unity as game engine Adobe photoshop for art and in game animations Adobe animate for animations (video only)

haha thanks, looks like youve spent a bit too long in c#...
im 18 and i dont even have a job
Hi there
first of all pls continue with making this game
second if you need any help with pixel drawings I can help
Looking great! May I ask what software you are using for your game document?
Milanote, it's really great and I think all gamedevs should use it.
@@mehlteddev Thanks!
Good
flys are the worst animals in the world and i hate them but ur game sound fun and i would love to play it :D
LOL thank you
@@mehlteddev yo are u doing play testing yet ?
hi im allso a 16 years old game and i started lerning it 6 months ago do u have any tips
My biggest tip would be to watch lots of tutorials, then make a really simple game, e.g: a square that can move. Then just keep challenging yourself, watch more tutorials and ask questions.
Nice idea actually, I try to learn how to create my first game and it is hard, but with this video and many others i still learn, thx 😁
(Btw, where can I find the game or demo when there is one?)
What programs do you use to organize your game? I.e the game script/tree the todos?
Me and porger have a gigantic Milanote project we use to organize everything from youtube to the burrow. I also have a massive google calendar and google tasks as well as a few notebooks at home, but Milanote is what I mainly use and I'd highly recommend it, the free version is amazing.
how will this game affect the fly population????????
They may start using guns but I mean what's the worst that can happen...
Do you, by some chance, use wick editor?
No sorry
What did you use to make the notes for the game?
milanote, it's awesome.
@ Sweet thank you!!
@mehlteddev Also you should def add a boss thats a frog, or a lizard
Overunderrated man
holow night
what programms did you use?
Milanote for planning
Visual Studio for code
Unity as game engine
Adobe photoshop for art and in game animations
Adobe animate for animations (video only)
@@mehlteddev thank you! unfortunately i am broke so i can´t afford any adobe
@@MindTheLlamaz lol yep id be done for if my school wasnt paying for it
@@mehlteddev Do you go to an art or animation school?
@@MindTheLlamaz No, my school just gives us adobe for free, idk why.
