Story:
Mother bird lost her babies. Help her to get back her babies but you must be careful because other birds are trying to complete their emigrate.
About The Game:
This is an arcade game. Consept is similar to Flappy Bird. In this game it is important that you have to tap the screen in the right time in order to avoid obstacles on your way. You have to avoid ;
Crashing other birds
Touching water
Getting out from paper(Game area)
There are two type of birds in the game , one with predictable speed which changes and gets faster with time variable and other with unpredicable random times. There is also wind factor which speeds up the birds in some certain times.
Support :
I would be really grateful If you share this game with your friends and support it. I’m always open to hear new ideas , improvements or friendly talk. If you feel generous , you can also buy me a beer
Thanks , I’m glad you like it.
I’ll put a video as soon as possible.
About name , I’m aware of that Migrate is more suitable than Emigrate but these two words , they are not so different in meaning. So I picked popular one , Emigrate. Since people using Emigrate word more often in their sentences , using that name would be better. But If Emigrate doesn’t describe the game at all , then Its a huge mistake and I should change it. I’m not a native speaker therefore I’m not that sure. But thanks for pointing this out.
I would definitely use Migrate. Emigrate is really only for moving into a country for citizenship. It has a very specific meaning that only applies to humans. Everyone I know uses Migrate when referring to birds relocating seasonally.
Emigrate would be describing something different entirely for sure.
Other than that it looks great. It has a very nice art style. Good choice for a first game. It looks very complete and approachable. I don’t have an android so I can’t play it, but if I did I would give it a shot.
I see , well since whole game,arts,translations are based on “Emigrate” , It will take a lot of time and megabytes to change. I can change all of them when I get more feedback from users to make a new update. Anyway, thanks a lot for clearing this out for me. Damn … I hate translators
It’s alright cartgamestudio - we all make mistakes. I’m American and I use words incorrectly all the time. It’s not completely terrible.
But this is a good lesson - to maybe consider using the wip thread here to get feedback while you are currently in development. This great community would definitely help you out with translation in addition to helping out with design and technical development problems you may run into.
We kind of use each other to help each other out. Consider posting work in progress here a lot earlier and ask for feedback on anything that you think can be improved or things you aren’t sure about.
Overall congratulations on releasing your first game. That is an accomplishment.
I downloaded and played your game a bit and would like to say a few things.
The gameplay is like Flappy Bird, which is not bad for a first game, but, in my opinion of course, it is overused.
The artwork is great, I love it.
The music is fine, but I wonder if such a relaxing song goes well in a game so fast. In any case the song is good.
Advices:
Enable the Android exit button to close the game, and/or an option to the main menu. There is no way to close your game, and that isn’t good.
The images of both hands in About the Game, should not be the other way around?
Is it necessary to use two hands? With one finger works well. If you have to touch alternately on both sides of the screen you should clarify it, because it is not clear.
You are right , I should use [WIP] thread before making anything, in fact I’ll do that for my asset that I will going to release soon. Community is powerful , I know. I get most of my answers before I ask them in forum because most of them already answered by community members which is great. Low number of downloads about that game annoyed me a little but I’m decided to make more games which people can have fun. I hope people like them than this. Thanks for your advices , It’s good to know someone correcting you
Thanks for playing the game. About it’s Flappy Bird-ish style, yes you are right It’s like Flappy Bird but I don’t think every tap-to-screen game have to give credit to Flappy Bird. But you are right , I got inspration from Flappy Bird.
Thanks for your kind words about artwork and music. I actually designed that game as a competitive game.Like competition between you and your pride. Game looks simple , cute and relaxing but you are still unable to make good scores which will drive you mad and make you play more often to get better scores. And this was the main reason why I used soft tones in the song. And as a side note , no game is not that hard right now , some of my friends made me to make it easier.
About your advices , you are completely right , I need to add an exit button. I always close my applications from app manager inside the phone. This is why I missed that point, Its my mistake. And you are right , hand images should be other way around. They were different images actually , I changed them with better one in the end but I forgot that little problem.
About two hands , again , you are right. You can play it with your single finger too. But there is a problem with single finger. Maybe It’s because Unity , I’m not sure. When you press with your finger consecutively , Unity detecs only some of them for a single touch point. So you can play with your single finger, for a short time. Because when scene starts to be complicated, you have to do some critique moves and you cant do that with single finger. Therefore It’s better to start game by using two fingers rather than with one finger.
Sorry if I bothered you with the comparison with Flappy Bird, I know that game didn’t invent anything, I only used it because it’s a known game.
About the problem with Unity and the input touches. That sounds weird. I suppose you are using a code like this for detect the touches:
//If there is some touch
if(Input.touchCount > 0){
//Go through the touches
foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches) {
//I'm almost sure you use TouchPhase.Ended, I think for this kind of game is better TouchPhase.Began
//If this touch is just beginning
if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began) {
//Code to do when you just touch the screen
}
}
}
If you do, the problem must be in the way you use addForce method.
Don’t leave to making video games because you have a low number of downloads. It’s a very common problem among developers. We only need to do bigger and better games. And, for sure, we must learn marketing to sell our games to the world, because it is impossible that people download our game if they don’t know about its existence.
No no , comparing this game with Flappy Bird is completely normal.It is the Flappy Bird who makes tap-to-screen games that popular afterall.
For that code , you have a point. If I hear the same thing from more people now I know how to fix it. But If I change this too, game will be really easy I might say. I’m eager to keep it this hardness level.
I’m not planning to leave making video games in any possible future. I also made/making some assets for other developers, Im planning to put them to AssetStore but as theANMATOR2b said, It’s good to have a [WIP] , so thats what I’m gonna do. Actually , I already did this for one of my assets. So no , I’m not planning to leave game making. Thanks a lot for your encouragement.
