Hi, I'm Stcash, a Solo-Dev, gamer and enthusiast. My goal is to learn, grow, and share my love for creating games with the world. I make games that focus on the “Fun”, without the “Funny Business”

My Journey

I started my game development adventure in January 2024, diving headfirst into the world of programming and design. Despite starting with zero experience, my determination and passion drove me to explore various game engines like Game Maker, Unreal, Godot, and finally, GDevelop, which resonated with me the most. This past year has been filled with challenges, learning experiences, and countless hours of development.

My Prototypes

Throughout this journey, I've participated in numerous game jams, creating a wide variety of prototypes, each with its own unique story and learning experience. Some of my notable prototypes include:

• Particles: A game that taught me the importance of backing up projects.
• Quick Haul: My most played game, focusing on inventory systems and currently being remade in 3D.
• Brain Wrench: A simple yet fun project that helped me learn more about building scene menus.
• Retro Unknown: My favorite project, exploring the RPG genre with a stat progression system.
• Minizone: A minigame-based experience that compiles several One Hour Game Jam entries.

I've continued to develop and improve these prototypes, pushing myself to learn new skills and techniques along the way.

Tools and Techniques

My development process involves using a variety of tools to optimize my workflow:

• GDevelop: A beginner-friendly yet powerful open-source game engine.
• Beepbox: For creating amazing retro-style and chiptune music.
• Tiled: A powerful tool for designing 2D maps.
• Pen and Paper: My go-to method for planning and organizing projects, along with digital to-do lists.

Future Plans

I'm currently working on two larger projects: Quick Haul 3D and Retro Unknown (3D). These projects are on pause as I wrap up other developments, but they are at the top of my to-do list for this year. Additionally, I'm excited to release my upcoming game, One-Shot Stack-Down, a fun puzzle-shooter where you have one shot to knock the stack down.
