Gamedev.JS Jam 2024

I participated in Gamedev.js Jam for the second time this year. I used the Unity game engine which I recently started learning. The theme of the game jam is "Power" and I decided to create a game about military power. It's called "Power of the CANNON". 

The main menu of the game. The title of the game with a cannon image and instructions on how to play are shown. There is a 'Play' button at the bottom of the screen.

The goal is simple; the player must shoot with his cannon to destroy enemies and occupy the enemy territory. The percentage of the occupied land on each side is indicated.

Gameplay of the game. 3 enemies are shooting. The cannon is firing bullets. Enemies have occupied 60% of the land.

My game was ranked 188th of 233 entries. You can play the game on itch.io.

I'm very busy with my studies because I'm following a degree. Learning a game engine like Unity or Unreal (those are the only game engines I knew at that time) is a time-consuming process. The second reason is also related to the first one. So even after learning a game engine, what's the point if I won't be able to find a job?  But my passion for game development didn't disappear. Discovering GDevelop About 2 months ago, I saw freeCodeCamp published a crash course on YouTube about something called " GDevelop ". It is a 2D cross-platform free and open-source game engine. I was curious to know about GDevelop. So I researched this by first visiting their official website . I was impressed because it seemed like this is a beginner-friendly game engine that i...
