Building My Own “Game Engine” with Pygame and a 2D Laser Shooter Kit
Hello everyone!
(free)
currently only developed / tested for windows OS
I wanted to share an exciting project I've been working on: building a "game engine" around the Pygame library, using a unique 2D shooter kit I've developed. This project is still in its very early stages, but I'm thrilled about its potential and would love to get your thoughts and feedback.
The Core of the Project: 2D Laser Shooter Game Kit
The foundation of my project is the 2D Laser Shooter Game Kit. This kit is designed for both beginners and game development enthusiasts, offering an easy and fun way to dive into the world of laser battles. The kit provides all the essentials for creating an action-packed laser shooter game.
Advancing with Kitmaster Engine UI
A significant advancement in my project is the integration of the Kitmaster Engine UI with the 2D Laser Shooter Game Kit. This interface speeds up game development, testing, and distribution. It's incredibly user-friendly, streamlining the entire process and making game development more accessible.
Key Features of Kitmaster Engine UI
Effortless Customization and Testing: Modify game variables like player speed and enemy behavior easily through intuitive controls. The real-time updates feature allows you to see the impact of your changes immediately, streamlining the development cycle. (this can be modified and expanded upon )
Convenient Game Building Tools: The UI includes one-click game building and a built-in script editor for error-free modifications. It’s designed to make the game development process as smooth as possible.
Developer-Centric Design: Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, this UI caters to all. It simplifies complex parts of game development and is backed by a supportive Discord community.
Expanding the Game Kit
The 2D Laser Shooter Game Kit is highly expandable. You can build upon the pre-built template by adding new features like power-ups, different enemy types, and multiple levels. The kit includes customizable graphics, pre-made particle effects, and well-commented scripts for easy modification.
Open-Source and Royalty-Free
An important aspect of this kit is its open-source nature, coded entirely in the Pygame library. This means indie developers can use it without worrying about royalties. Plus, the kit comes with lifetime updates and expansions, continually enhancing your game development experience.
Perfect For...
This project is ideal for aspiring game developers, hobbyists, and educators. It offers a practical way to learn and experiment with game development, perfect for prototyping and quickly testing game ideas.
Seeking Feedback and Collaboration
I'm really excited about where this project can go and would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and any feedback you might have. Also, if anyone is interested in collaborating or just discussing game development, feel free to reach out!
