Dark Strolls is the first game I made on my own. It was a small idea for a auto-running platforming game. Instead of being randomly generated I’d make one level and hide in a lot of secrets.
It seemed like a relatively small idea that I could pull off on my own.
When I started I barely had any knowledge on how to use Unreal, so a lot of what I learned was self taught by looking up tutorials or similar solutions in the Unreal Engine forums.
But I was determined to finish it, even if it took a long time, and even if it wasn’t that good. I just wanted to complete a game.
That game eventually became Dark Strolls. I made a bunch of mistakes when making it, but I learned a lot from each mistake and it prepared me to keep the momentum going and immediately move on to something else once it was done.
