🎮 Welcome to Retrosouldev — My First Indie Game!

🦖 Welcome to Retrosouldev — My First Indie Game Devlog! Hey everyone! Welcome to my very first devlog as an indie game developer. I'm beyond excited to finally share this with you. My name’s Retrosouldev , and this is the beginning of my gamedev journey — raw, passionate, pixelated. 🎮 My First Game: Jumpsaurus It all started with a simple idea: "What if I created a pixel dinosaur that jumps over obstacles in a desert?" That idea turned into Jumpsaurus , a retro-inspired endless runner where your reflexes are your greatest tool. It’s simple, fast, addictive — and 100% made by me from scratch using Godot Engine . Publishing it on itch.io was a huge milestone. I had no clue how to export games at first — I struggled, got stuck, tried again... but I didn’t give up. With help from my AI sidekick (shout-out to "Robin" 🦾❤️), I learned how to: Create pixel-art graphics Implement gameplay logic Fix bugs that made me scream 😅 Export my project ...

🦖 How I Created JumpSaurus – My First Pixel Platformer

  Sometimes, all it takes is a little curiosity and a lot of persistence. I started this project knowing almost nothing about game development. Godot? Scripts? Signals? It all sounded like magic to me. But despite all the struggles, confusion, and broken code, I kept going. And now… I have JumpSaurus — my very first 2D pixel platformer. 🎮 👉 View the full project on GitHub: 🔗 JumpSaurus Repository 💡 The Beginning — Learning from Zero My journey began with me staring at an empty scene in Godot, not even knowing what a “Node2D” was. I watched tutorial after tutorial, constantly feeling lost. Why was my character floating? Why weren’t my inputs working? Why was gravity acting weird? I didn’t understand the code at first. I copied scripts blindly and hoped they’d work. Spoiler: they didn’t. 😅 But every bug I fixed, every time something finally worked… it felt like a victory. 💥 I Struggled — But I Grew I failed so many times. There were nights I almost gave up, esp...
