RE: My failure as an android game developer + a couple of tips for newbie devs

Wow, thanks for your comment :)

I know there is no story to this game - and it was supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be pointless, but now that I look at it, I guess you're right - a game needs a story. As I said, I was inspired by simple games, like Flappy Bird but now I see that using other games' ideas is not always good and may not work as it's supposed to.

I hope I'll find some time to make a new game soon - or finish one of those I started creating. That's my problem, I keep starting new projects but hardly ever finish them :D

A pleasure @urban07. :c)

Some simple games capture the imagination. I would definitely recommend looking up Extra Credits on youtube. They offer many bite-sized chunks specifically relating to game design. And its good food for the soul too. ;c)

Me? I tend to be into complex games but even complex games benefit from a degree of simplification.

I am sure that you will find a way. You could even use your current game as a platform for modification - Think of it as project 1.1. Give it a totally different theme - one different mechanic. And see if you find it fun to try out. :cP

Of course feel free to move on to new horizons also.

Good luck!

Thank you! :)
