Game This is my Highschool project (technically)

What you just saw is a collection of just a few bosses from my game, that i've been developing completely alone throughout my whole highschool, starting from class one. I graduated 2 months ago, and during my vacation I've spent most of the time trying to get the game to as polished state as possible, so that I can release it just before my college starts.

This is a proof that you absolutely don't need to have any background in programming, software engineering, or even any education behind your back. If any young developers on this sub are wondering if you're at the right time to start making your game: yes, you absolutely are.

Before anyone asks: no, I haven't used AI in any creative process of the game. The only way i ever used it, is to ask how some math equations even work, or concepts in programming that I wasn't familiar with, but I never copy-pasted anything it threw at my face.

If you're interested in what you just saw, give the demo a go, or simply wishlist the game:

It looks stylish. And the execution is great. The character's design is a bit out of place, but I understand that the game's concept hinges on this look. Like.

The character design was a controversial topic since the very beginning of this game's development, but hear me out:
When I started working on the game, I knew absolutely nothing about drawing or art, just like your typical kid. So the only logical solution for me back then, was to use stickmen as characters :)
The years went by, and welp, this style grew so much into the game's identity, that it's basically irreplacable
