Flappy Dragon.
For the last 5 Months I have been working together with my friend on our freetime to create our first game together known as Flappy Dragon.
Our plan is to create 3 different types of games where we want to experiment and test things out whenever or not they could be fun or work as intended. We are here to learn and see what works with our Ideas for games we want to create.
After creating these 3 main games, we can go back to the previous 3 games and update them by adding more levels & mechanics into them. We are also thinking about more sort of game ideas we can continue to work on for the future as well!
As our first game together, we wanted to start with something simple but improve on the main core mechanic to make some changes to the gameplay. We took the game known as “Flappy Bird” but made It into a “Sideview Shooter” where you instead control this Mechanical Dragon in this Sci-fi environment where you need to reach the end of the level to win!
The controls are quite simple and is explained through the first time you play the game. Which is also seen with this video link >>
As I am the main Artist and Designer of this project. I mainly worked with creating the Art Assets & working on the level design of our first level of the game. I also created all VFXs and a bit on the UI/UX.
For the first game project we wanted to focus on making a game similar to the old arcade games. Where you continue to play more and more to get better at the game as you learn the layout of the level as you get further and further into the gameplay to reach the end and win hopefully!
Though that is our core idea for the design of the game. We wanted to add some more story elements within the game. As the first game won’t have a big focus for the story, we still wanted to add some hints for a bigger picture and later in the future, we want to add some “escape room elements” into these games for the secrets and lore.
Though our game is more or less playable in our current state. We plan to create the other 2 games and add those into a “hub world” where you can play these games while being connected to them all.
So until then, the game will not be availble yet to play. But soon in the future!
