I did not manage to hand in my game in time sadly. My idea was to make a color combination game - there are colored boxes, you are a wizard who can merge them together to create a new colored box of the mixed color. (It was also just a box pushing game.) However, if the colors didn't actually create the expected output color, you instead had to warp yourself into one of the boxes, solving a riddle contained in them to create a new color which you can then use in the riddle in the layer one above to eventually solve everything and be all scaled up again. The deepest it went was 3 levels down. At the end, you zoom out and realize that all the level goal colors combined make a rainbow. :D Problem was, there aren't actually that many colors, and all of the puzzles were rather unintuitive because I learned that while humans are great at basic color combos (green + yellow), once there are more colors and they're not just one of the 8 primary and secondary colors we get surprisingly terrible (or I wasn't able to code a color mixing system that feels intuitive, I guess that's up for debate). I tried implementing a shape system to replace the colors (two numbers combined would sum, a 3 combined with a line would make a triangle, ....), but I wasn't able to finish in time to make this. (The game looked absolutely terrible anyways, I am new to game dev.) Alright the game idea is now conserved here forever it was not all for nothing. I had fun though! Now that I think back this really was kind of a cool idea maybe I'll revisit it sometime. Goodbye, old friend, game idea... 🥹

[@gustavrosgaardsrensen8028]

Hello did you delete your tutorials? They were so good ;(

[@ekekw930]

Where are your old tutorial videos?

[@HawkesByte]

check the discord channel under #source-code-files :) all the videos are now unlisted because i couldnt keep up with the questions and issues unfortunately but you can still access them freely :)

[@ekekw930]

@@HawkesByte great to hear that they are still available and I understand the stress of not being to keep up with all the questions but in all fairness, I think you should keep them up and just not respond or let other commenters respond. Just an idea.
