I released my first game on Steam and got rid of impostor syndrome!

My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.

Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !

For anyone who enjoys seeing how the sausage is made, OP also has some devlogs up on YouTube, I’ve been following for a little while. youtube.com/@PaahtimoGames

Awesome work. Out of curiosity, what engine did you use and how was your experience with it?

source
- wawe@mastodon.gamedev.place ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
  Thank you! I used Monogame and it was interesting experience trying out framework instead of engine. As a long time Unity dev I liked the full freedom with framework and liked creating everything myself. It is probably not best fit for beginners but for someone with C# experience it is something that I would recommend.

Great game. May I add some ideas of improvement?

resolution change should be a picker, or at least confirmable without changing the resolution right away

align the buttons and other UI elements

wordings could be changed because “flower that shoots enemies” made me immediately think that it’s going to propel enemies at me

there is no way to get back to menu from the game? Return gets me back to the game, Quit shuts the game off.

the blue mushroom doesn’t react when I press ctrl, as suggested by the icon

other UI elements are flashing underneath when drawing UI elements

Otherwise very entertaining. I left a positive steam review. Good job.

It works out of the box on steamdeck.

source
- wawe@mastodon.gamedev.place ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
  Most of my testing/playing have been on steamdeck! In my local game events I just walked to people and gave them my steamdeck to test the game :D

    Ok.
    
    Two things I noticed : The green blob appears semi-transparent on the screen score, but not in game. When the powerups appear, there is a square appearing from one or two frame at the center of the level.

@wawe
Just bought and played it and had a lot of fun! I love the frequent powerups and the variety of the monsters. The first time I saw the toad was truly terrifying! Lol. I'd love to see some kind of powerup that helps with arial enemies. Maybe the plants can shoot upwards, too? Or you can? Or a flying plant? Or a second bullet that goes up at 45 degrees? Anyway, well worth the super low asking price. Looking forward to playing more! It works perfect on the #SteamDeck, too!

Did you posted in lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml and lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming ? As it is a native linux mode, if I understood correctly, you could post there too. And in gamedev communities too.

  Thanks for sharing! I will post there as well in the future!

  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml, !linux_gaming@lemmy.world
