There is a paradigm in new playmaker's users or people who start to learn to make games that platformer genre is the easiest way to learn to make games (at least in my communities). Somehow, I feel Platformer is actually one of the hardest genres.
Maybe because people think of Super Mario as the most primitive game and set it as a bar for a new dev. I believe, to recreate Super Mario itself with the right feels is damn hard!
so I think, new dev should avoid platformers as their first project, instead, they should be introduced to better and easier alternatives.
What kind of project do you guys recommend to begin with? (For People who start at playmaker)
my thoughts:
1. Rock Paper Scissors
2. Nintendo Duck Hunts (With Mouse)
3. Quiz Games (Learns GUI and Arrays)
4. Pong
5. Mario and Donkey Kong Style (Platformer Introduction)
What do you guys think?
