I’m back and starting to make a new game

Hello guys! Long time no see. Why have I been absent from the Defold forum for several months? Well, I found a new job related to AI. I also learned a lot about game design and how to make a good web game. I’ve tried Contruct3 and PixiJS, but I finally found Defold to be the best for me.

I improved the graphics of my game.

A consistent art style is crucial for a game.

Nice, I’m looking forward to seeing the final game.

It reminds me a lot of this game that is also made with Defold.

Thank you!

I’ve played this game too, and it’s pretty well-made.

I’ve found I’m not good at 3D-style 2D art, so I’m using simpler styles instead.

I use the defold-audio extension made by @Insality to add sounds for my game.

Thank you @Insality ! The defold-audio extension is very convenient.

Glad you like it!

Hey, it looks cool to keep audio init separately in a script file :slight_smile: I usually create a separate data file with all definitions to include it later

The UI is very simple and only contains 3 buttons and 1 label. I found it very difficult to fit different screens using the traditional GUI, so I finally decided to use 3 GameObejcts and 1 label component instead. This approach works very well on different screens.


When it works on my phone, looks like:


Oh no, later I found that it doesn’t work ver well in landscape mode on my phone.

I will fix it.

I found that designing levels for my game was really difficult and the levels all felt similar to play. At first, I thought my game’s mechanics were the problem, but later I realized it was actually my lack of creativity. After overcoming that, a whole new world opened up.

Improved levels 16-20

Added new content.

Fixed some bugs.
