Building Drone Harvest, my first mobile game, with AI tools. 🤖 Unity + Codex workflows 📱 Android indie game in development.

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

🎮 1 month of developing Drone Harvest – time for a little recap and a new trailer! 🚀

So much has changed in just a few weeks:

👾 10+ enemy types with boss variants
💀 2 major world bosses
🌍 3 different maps
⚙️ A completely new item system
⚡ A new event system
🔧 And countless smaller improvements!

The trailer features our newest world: Crystal Rift, where you'll encounter the very first boss I created for Drone Harvest.

I'm still far from happy with the boss fights, but the foundation is there. Now it's time to build on it!

🎯 My next goal is to get the three existing maps ready for the first playtest.

I want to find out if the game is heading in the right direction, what players enjoy, and what needs to change.

And a huge thank you to all the amazing developers I've connected with here on X over the past few weeks! 🙌

What do you think of the trailer? Honest feedback is always welcome! 👇

Werde ich machen! 😁🙌

Der dritte Boss ist bereits so gut wie fertig. Ich muss nur noch einen guten Gameplay-Clip aufnehmen.

Sobald ich ihn veröffentliche, werde ich dich markieren!

Deinen Newsletter habe ich übrigens auch schon abonniert. Bin gespannt auf die erste Ausgabe!

Danke nochmals für deine Unterstützung! 🎮🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Really appreciate you taking the time to look at my account! 🙌

Your advice genuinely made me think.

I actually made exactly the mistake you described. 😅

My trailer that's already posted on X starts with the approach to the planet and the logo before the actual action begins.

I'll change that for my next trailer and jump straight into the most exciting boss fights and drone attacks!

I'll also follow your advice and pin a strong gameplay clip.

I'll check out your newsletter too. Thanks again for the honest feedback! 🎮🚀

@sifuthemaster Boss 3 is actually pretty much finished already! 😁 I just haven't had the chance to record a gameplay clip yet.

I'll definitely experiment with the 2–3 frames of hitstop and see how it feels.

A boss fight clip is coming soon! 🎮🔥

Wife and daughter are asleep. Time for my second shift! 😂🎮

Tonight's to-do list:

🎮 Drone Harvest:
• Still not happy with the item system.
• The 3rd boss fight is almost done. Only my favorite part is missing: sound design. 😅

📱 PureRecord:
• Added a feature to record audio from supported apps and save it as MP3 or M4A!

Let's see how much I can get done tonight. 🚀

Anyone else building tonight? 👇

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Thanks, Sifat! 😁🙌

That's another great point!

Upgrade costs and availability should definitely be easy to understand at a glance.

I'm finally happy with the overall design, so now it's all about refining the smaller details and making everything feel intuitive.

Really appreciate your feedback! 🎮

🎮 Drone Harvest – Devlog Day 35!

Finally! After countless attempts, I've found an equipment workshop UI design I'm actually happy with. 😅

Never thought making a clean and intuitive UI would be this difficult!

What do you think of the new UI? Anything you'd improve? 👀👇

📱 Meanwhile, I've submitted PureRecord to Google Play for release!

New feature: Record audio from supported apps and save it as MP3 or M4A. 🎧

Now just waiting for approval! 🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Hey Ali! 👋🇩🇪

Great to see another builder from Germany! 😁

I've just submitted my first Android app, PureRecord, to Google Play for release.

A simple screen and audio recorder with no ads, subscriptions, or cloud.

Respect for taking the leap into full-time indie development!

How's the journey going so far?

Can I cheekily ask you one more thing? 😁

With your 15 years of experience in the gaming industry, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think of my X account if you ever have a few minutes.

What am I doing right, and what could I improve to get more people interested in Drone Harvest?

I'd really appreciate your honest feedback! 🙌

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🔥

Enjoying a little Halloween party today. Gotta take a break sometimes! 😁

But knowing myself, I'll probably end up back at my PC working on Drone Harvest later tonight. 😂🎮

Starting to think I'm addicted to building this game!

What about you? Celebrating Halloween or still building something tonight? 👻

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

@orendev_ Thanks a lot, Oren! 😁🙌

It's honestly amazing how much has changed in such a short time.

I'm especially excited about the first playtest. Seeing how other players react to Drone Harvest for the first time is going to be really interesting!

Really appreciate your support! 🎮🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Love this initiative! 🙌🎮

I'm currently building Drone Harvest, a 3D action-survival game for Android with AI assistance.

It already features three different worlds, bosses, and a growing drone and equipment system.

I'm preparing the first playtest and would really appreciate feedback and support!

Here's a little look at the gameplay! 🚀
