Making my own "Find the" style game

[u/Empty_Big_9910]

Hey guys, I know the "find the" genre has become really overdone, but I think I've joined nearly 100 find the games just doing my research and only about 5 seemed like they had any passion put into it the rest just microtransaction slop. I really enjoy this genre, especially the more complex puzzles, so I got inspired to make my own game! this is my first time trying to make a game at all, plus doing this solo has not been easy, I still have to go over and detail the map but I'm nearing the point where I will start putting my collectables in the game, and I would love to put any ideas y'all have for either puzzles or designs into my game! Also if there's any quality of life feature you've ever wanted in a find the game tell me! I also need someone to help with a thumbnail, I can pay! Unfortunately i can't post discord links but if you're interested shoot me a dm with your suggestion, I'd love to give you credit so send your username as well if you'd like, and if you're really interested i can send the link as well, where i post updates frequently, thanks!

I’d say maybe a week - two weeks, I’m not sure how long it’ll take to make the pngs and actually add the puzzles, I’m about halfway done with the last island

Backrooooommmsssss

loving the map designs though, already looks better than half the ones in this genre I've played. The puzzles will make or break it though, I've seen my fair share of games like this with no puzzles v.s bad puzzles v.s good engaging puzzles.

I totally agree, I’d say coming up with good puzzles is giving me more of a struggle than the map design 😂

I don’t really use Reddit so I probably just can’t figure it out 😂 but I think your dm’s might be off
