"Player making decisions": Documentation

Well, apparently documentation is very helpful in game development, especially when you have a team

For indies - it is a good place to consider goals and purpose of the game - as well as what in and not in the scope

"Player making decisions", Chapter 25: Motivation

You can't force people to play your game. So, you need to motivate player to play.

But how?

2) some "tricks" could help too

Pyxel tutorial - YouTube Do you want to learn how to write retro-style computer games using Python? Then you need to learn Pyxel. Pyxel is probably the best game engine for those who...

OK, you know python and now want to make some games, right?

Try Pyxel!

It is like pico-8 but with python and professional IDE.

I made a tutorial series and probably will make some more

How I created my first animated character | Timelapse with comments YouTube video by Testing Coder Games

A couple of years ago I made this funny little #pixelart guy

His name is Johny, btw

Say "Hi Johny"

Testing some ideas for a potential game soundtrack

In this Video:
1) AI-generated “game” footage
2) Original track I’m building
3) Logic session footage

Does this feel like actual game music, or just random noise with drums?
