I’m not a professional dev, but I turned this silly atc game prototype into a proper arcade game.
I love atc games, i own tower simulator 3 airport madness and endless atc, and about a year ago had this really specific idea in mind, a game that combined a topdown ground view with radar gameplay. At the time I had basically zero game dev background I was in my first semester of college studying mechanical engineering, i knew almost nothing of coding before college, and I’m not an artist either.
I only coding i knew was a little from class, but I decided to try making it anyway as a personal project in Pygame just for fun. The first version was incredibly inefficient, slow, and kind of held together with duct tape and bad coding practices, but the core idea was there and it was fun to play at least at times
After a while I stopped working on it completely for several months. Then one day I came back to it and realized I still genuinely loved the concept, so I decided to rebuild it properly and turn it into a real game instead of just a prototype
The proyect is now something i'm satified with and even if i move on to another project after launch for sure this first one will be something i'll keep updating it in the future. After the last UI and request tab update at least for me the game has become something very fun i can spend long sessions playing. It’s been really cool seeing something that started as a fun personal thing slowly turn into an actual project some people have actually had some interest in.
