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! 👇

Congrats on hitting 200 followers! 🎉😁

I'm currently working towards my first 100, and I'm discovering how much fun it is to share projects and experiences with others.

I'm especially interested in your team of AI agents!

How do you organize the collaboration between them?

Let's connect! 🤝🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

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! 🙌

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Thanks for the tip! 🙌

I think that's exactly something I need to change with my upcoming posts.

I've often explained what I've been building instead of simply showing it in action.

Drone Harvest already has some pretty cool drone attacks and boss fights. I'll try sharing a short clip of one of those in my next update!

Curious to hear what you think! 🎮🚀

🎃 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! 🚀

Let's connect! 🤝

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Nice to meet you too! 😁

Drone Harvest is making good progress! The Android build is already playable, the core systems are in place, and there are currently 3 different maps and 3 bosses.

But I've got a lot more planned! More maps, new enemy types, and possibly even additional game modes. Right now, I'm mainly working on the item and equipment system.

Once I'm happy with the first 3 maps, I'll start testing with real players and gathering feedback.

Still plenty of work ahead! 😅

Are you working on a game yourself?

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

🎮 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]

@emmanuel_2m 3D

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Thanks, Sifat! 😁

You're absolutely right! Especially with boss fights, I'm realizing how much good sound design matters.

I really like the idea of adding a tiny pause on impact. I haven't actually tried that yet!

Definitely going to experiment with it. Might be exactly what the combat needs to feel more impactful! 🎮🔥

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

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]

@MrB2Beast @SchildbenarStud Hey Tristan! 👋

Thanks for getting back to me! 😁

I'd love to give Gaapp a try. I really like the idea of breaking big goals down into small daily steps.

You mentioned offering a free test account. How do we get started?

Looking forward to checking it out! 🚀

@AbhinavJhaCodes Hey Abhinav! 👋

I'm currently building two projects with AI assistance:

🎮 Drone Harvest – a 3D action-survival game for Android.
📱 PureRecord – a simple, ad-free screen recorder getting ready for release.

What are you working on right now?

Let's connect! 🤝🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Oh yes, especially the tool subscriptions! 😂

I'm currently building my first Android game with AI, and those monthly costs can add up surprisingly fast.

That's why I've set myself a fixed budget and I'm trying to finish the game without going over it.

I bet those first $100 in revenue will feel amazing! 😁

@hitesh_sisara @grok Hey Hitesh! 👋

I'm currently building two projects with AI assistance:

🎮 Drone Harvest – a 3D action-survival game for Android.
📱 PureRecord – an ad-free screen recorder app, getting ready for release.

It's amazing what we can build with AI these days!

Let's connect! 🤝🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

@rafneves_ That sounds promising! 😁

Short SFX for weapons, hits, and boss attacks are exactly what I need right now.

I'll definitely give ElevenLabs a try!

Do you usually edit the generated sounds afterward, or use them directly in the game? 🎧

@MrB2Beast @SchildbenarStud Hey Tristan! 😁

That's an interesting concept! Breaking a big goal down into small daily steps sounds genuinely useful.

I'd love to give Gaapp a try!

How far along is the development, and is the app already publicly available?

Thanks for the offer! 🙌

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Thanks a lot, Rafael! 😁🙌

Interesting that we're using some of the same AI tools!

I'm especially curious about ElevenLabs. Sound design is actually one of my biggest challenges with Drone Harvest right now. 😅

How happy are you with the generated SFX? Can you use them directly in your game, or do they need a lot of editing?

I'll definitely keep following your game's development too!

Let's stay connected! 🎮🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Hey Tristan! 👋

Gaapp sounds like an interesting concept! As a solo developer, it's easy to lose track of priorities on bigger projects. 😅

I'm currently building Drone Harvest, a 3D action-survival game for Android, alongside my full-time job. 🎮

My biggest challenge right now is staying focused on what really matters.

Let's connect! 🤝🚀

[Marcel | AI Game Dev @Stacki_TV]

Haha, I'm curious what they'll break first too!

Considering how many bugs I've already found myself, this should be interesting.

But that's exactly why I want to do the playtest. Sometimes you just need fresh perspectives, especially when you're building everything solo.

Really appreciate your support!
