While working on my games I often doubt myself and my game and start wondering if it's even fun at all. Experience in creating and playing games (such as Minecraft, The Witcher 3 and Among Us) has taught me what elements can help make a game feel more fun to play.
In this video (and Two Tap Dungeon devlog) I talk about the very basic elements that help in making a game feel fun to play. This could be by adding visual feedback, or audio feedback. But also looking at your game from a different perspective.

I have been making games since 2015 and started taking it a little more seriously at the start of 2020. I'm working on a 2D life simulator game called Ikarus, inspired by the popular Stardew Valley (by Eric Barone/ConcernedApe) and Monster Hunter (by Capcom).
I'm excited to be sharing my progress with you!
