An illustration promoting the game 'Checkout!' featuring four colorful character panels: a red panel with a character turned over face down in the floor; a blue panel with a character wearing glasses and a beret, looking surprised; a green panel showing a character falling dramatically; and a yellow panel with a character startled by a floating donut above their head. The game's logo is displayed at the top, featuring the word 'Checkout!' with a shopping cart icon.

[1] Halfway through our 2-Week VR Game! Here’s an overview of what we've done:

- Villager workstations (mine, farm, forge)
- Assign villagers by picking them up or throwing them
- Basic enemy waves and combat

Now working on item throwingβ€”any tips to make it feel good?

Reddit - Dive into anything The subreddit covers various game development aspects, including programming, design, writing, art, game jams, postmortems, and marketing. It serves as a hub for game creators to discuss and share their insights, experiences, and expertise in the industry.

If you like Reddit's 'postmortem posts' (I love them), you might be interested in reading the one I wrote a few weeks ago about Checkout!

My situation has changed a bit since I wrote it, but the hope for a career in games is still there, as much as it can be…

I'd love to be part of this 🧑

I’m an indie game dev, this year our small team of 2 release its first ever game Checkout! (now on Early Access) and we’re now working on a small VR game to learn a bit about the tech 🌊

We mostly use HacknPlan, but I still rely heavily on a physical corkboard with colored post-its. There's something very satisfying about physically moving a post-it when you finish a task, even though I also have to update the task on the HacknPlan board

game dev pro tip:

if you're struggling with motivation, try setting realistic goals

like "today i will open the project folder"
or maybe even "today i will look at one (1) line of code"

We're taking a little break from Checkout! development, but don’t worryβ€”we’ll be back sooner than you think with more fun! πŸ˜‹

In the meantime, you can dive into the Space Update and try to shop your way to victory among the stars! πŸŒŒπŸš€

We gave ourselves a two-week deadline to work on a small VR project to learn, and it's turning out pretty well!

(It's turning out cooler than expected, but let's see if we can meet the deadline because I have my doubts… πŸ˜…)

I’ll give you a sneak peek when I can 😜

Hi! Our first game, Checkout!, is being developed in Unity. Our upcoming small VR game is also being created with Unity. We're currently a team of two full Unity devs (though we can’t promise it will always stay this way πŸ˜…)
