Well... this has definitely been a long time coming!!
Welcome everyone to my Solo Game Development journey blog.
While the journey *officially* began a few months ago, life stuff inevitably got in the way, as it usually does.
Many years ago I was fluent with C#, having tried my hand at building my own 3D game engine with the XNA framework. I got stuck while trying to figure out how to write my own collision detection code and had to shelve the project shortly afterwards.
I've begun to explore game development with the Godot game engine, which is completely free to use. I've decided to take the plunge and dive in head-first, fully aware of the many hurdles that lay ahead, full of naivety and enthusiasm to tackle them head-on!!
I currently have a few test projects in progress, continually creating mini projects to test issues as they arise in my main code. These include the following:
- Tetris clone
- 2d platformer
- scrolling parallax background test
- player state machine test
- multitouch test for mobile devices
- Firebase online hosting and storage test
- Sprite instancing and mouse interaction test
