I am 14 and I decided to develop a game

Hi, my name is Georgy, I am in 8th grade and I’m 14. By indicating my real age I’m just trying to draw more attention to my project, but not every day you will meet the 14th student who has developed more than just a “5 minute clicker "But really something worthwhile, I don’t want to seem like a person with high self-esteem, I just like what I did this time).

It all started from the end of 2017, when I was trying to start my server in minecraft, configured plugins, we can say that it was then that I got acquainted with programming. A little later, I realized that I won’t be able to keep the whole server in my hands and I decided to leave this venture. After the meeting of the new 2018, winter holidays began and since winter in my area is something like that ...

... I was sitting at home. Once again, surfing YouTube recommendations, I see a video, I don’t remember exactly what it was called, but something like this - "How to create a game on UNITY in just 30 minutes." After watching this video, I had a strong desire to make my game, and read, watched, compared different engines and platforms, in general, all the same I decided to develop the game on unity for smartphones and tablets, in particular for android.

The ANDROIDHELPER channel gave me an incredible boost in understanding the engine and programming in C #, thanks Andrey and Zhenya, you are the best! Well, months went by and I continued to make games, although what I did then cannot be called games, they were an application with a title and a couple of buttons. In the summer when my studies didn’t interfere and I had a lot of free time, I decided to make an application ( Of course, developing simple applications on Unity is absurd, but then it seemed to me a good idea ), I added a huge number of teams for Yandex Alice to the application, sharing everything into categories. Added ads, published on google play and rushed ...

The truth did not last long, about a month, but I still managed to earn $ 360. I can’t name the exact reason for the ban of the application, I think it was due to the fact that I did not have a policy of air conditioning, and in this case I was obliged to do this, because the game has ads, especially from appodeal. For a long time I practically did not publish anything, but was engaged only in development in this industry, I practiced, gained experience ...

And now, the end of 2019 and I think, “Maybe I’ll stir up a new game ...”, I began to think and sketch everything on paper. In general, the essence of the game is that several players can play on one smartphone at once, of course this is not an innovation in the gaming industry, that's why I wanted to beat it somehow beautifully, I came up with a mode and decided to implement it, in general it turned out:

I’m glad that I realized in time that it’s worth switching to 3D, I almost didn’t work with 3D games before, so I had little experience, and I wanted to get used to three-dimensional games as soon as possible, after a little time, it turned out:

As for me so much better than in 2D. Then I started developing new modes, optimizing and fixing a huge number of bugs. After some time, Sprint and Darts modes appeared, and most recently I updated the game adding a mode - Boxing


At the moment, the game is in the BETA testing stage, as there are few modes, and there are no basic things, for example: economy, leaderboard, disabling advertising, etc.

Well, my short story is coming to an end, if I notice a big resonance about this, I’m ready to continue writing on this topic, and perhaps verbatim the story, what difficulties I encountered when creating the game and how I solved these difficulties.

If someone is interested, welcome

everyone thanks for reading! I want to express special thanks to all those who install the game, you can write reviews and suggestions right here, I will try to answer everyone.

See you soon!
