Battle pong #10 – Bonus activator and new menu

This is a continuation of the previous post about the graphic and gameplay changes of the game.

Why am I making my own game ? (or any personal projects for what it matters…)

Hi all,

I found this Youtube channel called Extra Credits which talks about video games (mainly) and history (sometimes). They talk about different aspects of video games but the reason I am talking about this channel is that many people are asking me “Why are you doing Battle Pong ?” since I clearly don’t plan to become rich thanks to this game. Well Extra Credits recently did a video answering this question very well :

So to take the words from the video, here’s what drives me:

• Personal amusement
• Challenge myself
• Pick up new skills
• Be able to create something without being constrained

Also I explained some reasons in the first Battle Pong post 😉

Anyway I encourage you to try doing your own projects and explore !

Thanks for reading and stay awesome guys !

P.S. If anyone is interested in creating games they even have a playlist focused on game design !
