>>16039984>>16039986Let's just say I wanna make a story rich metroidvania styled game with bullet hell stages
Originally I wanted to make a 3D platformer/shooter on unreal engine but that would require a lot of people and money so I decided that it would be better to develop a small 2d game for like 4/6h of playtime
I spent quite some time planning out lore and characters
The gameplay would revolve around platforming around 2D enviroments and using various weapons and gadgets however an important aspect would be to also use stealth and situation awareness to quickly move around stages
You might want to upgrade yourself to be a walking tank and be able to destroy multiple enemies quickly or largely avoid combat using stealth and gadgets
There would also be bullet hell stages in between the main ones
The thing is that I wanna develop this game on a custom engine using C++ and sdl
>>16039995I still wanna take a year break from uni to learn about web related stuff and then try to get a job as a devops or a sysadmin in order to earn more money bc my salary rn is quite shit
Devops actually earn much more money then programmers bc they are required to have a lot of knowledge and skills from various fields
I'm just going to try develop on the side I guess
