Hey there, I'm Ayaz, an indie game developer from India. So, This is my first Game Jam, and let me tell you, it was quite a journey. I worked continuously for 7 days on this project. I poured my heart and soul into this project, all by myself, you know? No help from anyone. I even whipped up some 3D models from scratch!
Now, when they announced the theme, "What's Behind the Door," it took me back to this episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, the one with the Perplexahedron. That got me thinking, and I decided to base my game on that idea. I had tons of plans, you know, but with the limited time, I could only bring about 40% of what I had in mind. Still, I'm proud of what I managed to put together.
During this whole process, I learned a lot. Like, I explored with AI attack systems, which was totally new for me in Unity. And get this, I've only been at this game development thing for about 1.5 years! I dropped out of college to pursue learning game development and graphic design because I believed college wouldn't teach me these skills. Instead, I opted to learn them independently through the internet. I've acquired all my skills as a game developer, such as C# coding and graphic design, for free online. I'm unsure whether my decision was right or wrong, but I put in all my effort and hard work to ensure it was the right one. I can confidently say that I excel at quickly learning and adapting to new technologies and skills. Additionally, my strong foundation in math and physics has made it easier for me to grasp coding and understand the concepts.
Now, here I am, sharing my story with you. It's been quite a journey.
And hey, I'd love it if you could play my game, Perplexahedron. It'll really make my day and make all the hard work worth it. You can find it here: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2535729
