never worry about what your first game turns out like. Just know that it will only get better as you work on it! Keep up the good work

waqar-naeem 2020-04-20 17:13

thanks for encouragement @zeggamer.

It's reaaly good for your first jam! It's even compo, i didn't have enough courage to participate in compo tho. So good work. You should have pivotted the tanky from the center tho, that feels somewhat weird. Other than that, it was fun!

tomssuli 2020-04-21 15:36

Good beginning, keep on practicing gamemaking!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-21 15:42

Thank both of you @tomssuli and @vaizaragorn

baptiste-barreyre 2020-04-21 15:43

It's really good for a first game! Especially in a game jam!

rigdonware 2020-04-21 15:45

This was great for your first game! Good job. I say keep doing it if you have fun doing it. It only goes up from here.

blotosaur 2020-04-21 15:46

Being your first game, it's really good!

slam0 2020-04-21 15:49

Nice, simple and consequent. I like it. Good start into making your own games. Good luck and best wishes. Continue your work!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-21 15:49

Great work for your first game! Continue doing more of them, have fun, and you'll improve!

43sam 2020-04-21 17:36

Pretty cool for your first game! Definitely better than the first game I made. A score counter would be a cool addition. Overall though its fun!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-21 17:39

thanks @generalsturgeon

waqar-naeem 2020-04-21 17:44

thanks @43sam

pvg 2020-04-21 17:48

I'll join in with the others and congratulate you for using Ludum Dare as an excuse to make your first game. I had fun shooting ants. Like @generalsturgeon said: the more you make, the more you learn.

waqar-naeem 2020-04-21 17:54

thanks @pvg

manimal 2020-04-21 18:48

Congratulations for your first game. Just add some timer so the game will be challenging, who will stay longer. :)

irwatts 2020-04-21 18:48

Congrats on your first game! I had fun driving around and blasting ants. Very playable. Keep it up!

huvaakoodia 2020-04-21 18:59

The first jam is always tough, but you pulled through in style with a **drifting** tank. Tell me that was a design choice and not a mistake!

Anyway, there's really only one thing missing here, which is either a bug kill counter or a survival timer. The latter would make more sense in this case given the theme. Talking of the theme, a tank is an "it" I guess, yet a wave shooter is not a new idea.

For a first jam, of course, you don't need a new idea. What you need is something *doable* and you *did do* just that, a *doable* design which you then *do-done-did*. Keep *doing* things.

milano23 2020-04-21 19:20

Nice game. The art is nice. I like the particle effect. When trying to turn the tank i would make the rotation on center of the object and not the pivot or maybe you are using a rotateAround instead of just rotate. Overall i liked it.

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 04:26

thank u all for mentioning mistakes and encourageing me @manimal @irwatts @huvaakoodia @milano23

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 05:53

well being honest it wasn't mistake @huvaakoodia

reddashgames 2020-04-22 15:19

For a first jam game this isn't half bad, we all start somewhere and though this game has its floors and its quite unpolished i got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of it, well done. :3

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 15:21

thank u @reddashgames

barney25052 2020-04-22 15:24

Great for a first game, you should be proud. :)

dmars 2020-04-22 15:37

I really like the way the tank moves, it makes me want the ability to run over ants with a sweet drift.

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 15:42

thank u @barney25052 @dmars

jsec 2020-04-22 15:50

Nice little game. Rotations look weird. Graphics are solid. You can think about adding some stuff to it later Good job!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 15:57

Sure Sure I will @jsec

naughtybird 2020-04-22 16:10

Nice work for the first time. For me it was quite inconvinient to control the tank. I think you should try to continue the development and add more interesting mechanics!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-22 17:07

sure @naughtybird

jazzathefoss 2020-04-23 03:49

Very good job, this is a very good first game! I wish I could control the tank a bit better.

waqar-naeem 2020-04-23 05:30

thank u @jazzathefoss

ulcius 2020-04-24 00:51

Woah the controls of the tank were really cool! Those drifts! :D Very good first game!!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-24 03:23

thank u @ulcius

fpgames 2020-04-26 02:17

The game is pretty good for a first game dude..(I'm really happy to see a developer from pakistan: If you are pakistani that is :D)..anyways Keep making more games.. I wish you the best of luck :)

waqar-naeem 2020-04-27 10:47

Thank You @fpgames yes Dude I am from pakistan.

daria-toni 2020-04-27 12:10

This game is very primitive, but I read that this is your first project and you participated in compo. It’s good that you didn’t give up and finish this little thing, this is a great development experience for you. Don't give up and participate in the future! Nice try!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-27 12:31

thanks for encouragement @daria-toni

quinn-patrick 2020-04-28 00:15

A heck of a lot better than my first game was, although I don't really see what it has to do with the theme. Nevertheless, doing a game jam for your first game was a good idea, and a great way to get that experience out of the way so you can focus on improving. You should definitely keep making games if you enjoy it.

eran-haas 2020-04-28 03:09

Simple, but a great showing for a first game!

Keep it up!

acidmanrpgz 2020-04-28 22:59

For a first game, it isn't bad. In fact, it's actually quite good! Just a few tips for you:

1 - Focus a bit more on the UI, add a score counter and make the health indicator more obvious 2 - Audio can make a game much better. Add some "pew" and some "splat" 3 - Particle systems can make a game look much better. 4 - Figure out a system which allows you to aim well or an aiming indicator 5 - MUSIC! I didn't add music into my first game, but it really can make a game more engaging. 6 - Work on the main menu. Maybe add something about controls or something.

Things you did well:

1 - The combat loop worked well 2 - There was an actual way to quit 3 - Movement worked well, the enemy AI was fine 4 - Nice graphics and Minimalist design 5 - It was a nice and challenging game

In all, this is a fantastic first attempt at a game, particularly for unity. Well done!

waqar-naeem 2020-04-30 12:41

@acidmanrpgz i will try my level best to that all things you have mentioned and thank you for encouragement
