Back in 2017, with no prior coding or game development experience, I decided to learn Unity and started work on Game Over.
Up until the pre-release reviews were giving it 10/10, 8.5/10 & 8/10 (Pizza Fria, Checkpoint Gaming, Thumb Culture respectively), I was dead set nervous that the game might be no good.
It comes out today on Steam (in half an hour, feel like I’m gonna barf). I’ve met some of my best playtesters here on Lemmy, so I’m happy to announce it here specifically!
Congrats! Just watched the trailer and the game looks and sounds awesome. As someone who has a lot of half-finished projects, I’m impressed you stuck with it for 8 years and got it across the finish line, that must be a great feeling.
Were you working on it full time or on the side?
Haha thanks so much! Ive been working on it on the side, but also most weekends for about 8 hours a day (no kids helps!). I worked night shift at the sleep lab for 5 years, and when the patients were snoozin’ I’d just start working on it. When I went back to day shifts and actually had to do my job, progress slowed a bit, but then it just ended up gobbling ALL weekends.
