My first game - Corrupted Survivor

🎮 Dev Log #1 – One Month of Progress

Hey!

This is my one-month progress on making my first game.

I generally have no idea what I’m doing and heavily rely on tutorials and AI to help me get things done.

I don’t really aspire to be a full-time developer — this is just a fun little hobby I stumbled upon — so I’d be very grateful for any constructive feedback!

Working on this project gave me a much deeper respect for all games and the people who create them — especially programmers and anyone dealing with scripting.
After struggling with it myself, I can only admire how much skill and effort it takes.
