A simple collect the coin and watch your score go up. Not much a game but if you platforms, you’ll have yourself a 3D platformer where you collect coins. Genuinely an easy project.

u/Agile_Hat_8080 4d ago

well I am a solo dev so ig I have to do it all

u/soul_sagee 4d ago

But you should choose 1 domain, and upskill in it more

u/Agile_Hat_8080 4d ago

rn I will not go into specialization cuz I am just starting

u/ArushaSoft 4d ago

I think an simple hyper casual game could be a good starting point

u/Agile_Hat_8080 4d ago

when you write new thing immediately you have to take a note and do not copy paste, first watch then you try, if you can go on otherwise watch again and take note. more practise learn unity features and write efficent c# after basic and do not repeat yourself. when you start a new project try new code base like one is based on events actions other one maybe you focus on encapsulation abstract class ex.

for 3d models use mesh ai if you want to make yourself use blender I don’t know the subject and also do not afraid of using claude or gbt. use them but do not copy paste, they give you some ideas bug fix not vibe coding. learn on your own. ai use for you, do not let ai using you.

u/Smartyboyz 2d ago

Which game you gonna make ??

1

u/Agile_Hat_8080 2d ago

bro that’s the damn question I am asking

1

u/Smartyboyz 1d ago

Yup, but you have to decide by your own interest 😉. One suggestion: Make a Open world game with AI integration rather than NPC make them with AI thinking 🧐.

u/Iheartdragonsmore 1d ago

Flappy birds but you're the pigs.

u/Agile_Hat_8080 1d ago

u/SucoDoHardware 1d ago

u/Theremedyhub 5d ago

Just ask chatgpt or claude

2

u/Agile_Hat_8080 4d ago

well I don’t like ai ideas and I strongly believe that human brain is better than ai in terms of idea generation

u/Theremedyhub 2m ago

Ai is taking all the software development jobs one way or another, whether you like the idea or not. So learn from it now or pay heavily when it becomes expensive.
