I've been making a top-down, twin-stick, pixel art shooter in the Unity game engine since 2022. I recently took a demo build to the Nottingham Video Games Expo here in the UK and let players get hands on!
In this video, we'll explore why I wanted to make a game, what I learned from exhibiting at the show and highlight some of my amazing table neighbours, as well as talking about the convention itself! If you love indie games, you'll love this video!
