First-Time Game Developing

Game developing was one of the things I always dreamt of, but I only tried it a few times, and I always felt I could never do something unique, because I felt like I lacked resources to do (assets). Until I was introduced to the Asset Store, It's limited but it works well to someone who has close to nothing when it comes to characters and such.

I'm developing a game called Vindicta, partnering with a friend. This video game was heavily influenced by games like Left4Dead2 and BioShock. It consists of a Sci-Fi FPS, that relies on the protagonist, a boy that was far from home and when he comes back, the worst happened: a virus took over the city.

The video game gimmicks are pretty basic, we can shoot, restore life, get more ammo, double jump and so on. It's been a pretty nice experience to create a game from "scratch", I really look forward to get more into this game developing world. Sometimes It can be annoying and frustrating, but that's part of the job too.
