[Devlog] My stickman survival game with a new page! (danielgamedev14.itch.io)

Hey everyone! 👋 (again) I’m Daniel, a 14-year-old indie developer, and I’ve been working on a survival strategy game called A Survival Game. It mixes stickmen, hand-drawn chaos, resource management, and lots of dumb (but fun) decisions.

🧠 About the game: You control a group of desperate stickmen trapped in a not-so-safe bunker. Your goal? Survive as long as possible. You’ll need to fight monsters, manage food, make tough choices, and pray your stickmen don’t do something… stupid.

Each run is different thanks to random events, unique cards, and permadeath mechanics. There’s also a good dose of humor (because dying horribly should be funny, right?)

🆕 I just released a big update with:

10 new stickmen

New items, traps and events

Improved difficulty system

Even crazier cards (like "Mercy", which might save… or kill a stickman 😅)

🎮 Play it for free on Itch.io: 👉 https://danielgamedev14.itch.io/a-survival-game

💬 I’d love your feedback or ideas! I’m constantly updating the game and open to collabs with other devs too.

Thanks for reading! 🚀

Nice project man!

I'm on mobile right now so I'm not seeing the game in it's intended environment and I'm not sure what controls I'm unable to use from this interface but, it looks like a fun project!

Keep working on little coding projects you enjoy, I started coding somewhere around 10-14 and slowly developed those skills as I finished school and started college for a pretty different career. Now, more than a decade into that other-career, I'm starting to get my work responsibilities shifted back toward coding projects which I'm enjoying so much.

My point being, do coding long as you enjoy it. Those skills will still be there when you need them, later in life.

Thank you very much man! I also started with 10 until today 🤩 It's very rewarding for me, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the encouragement! I will improve my skills a lot! ❤️
