The Bigball: The Saveball (Original 2016 Prototype)

This was my first test trying to do a game in all of my life, i did it in April 2016 circa or before, and published it on a my old Gamejolt profile in July 2016, and i published there also other old games.

I was starting to use ClickTeam Fusion, learning how it works, and this is my first project i did, haha, the first version of The Bigball, i game invented in that moment, with some balls trying to dodge some other balls, i took the balls online, like the Steven Universe ball, a black hole, and i used randomly, because i was obsessed with FNAF, some screens of FNAF Golden Freddy, like an easter egg, haha :)

This gives me so much nostalgia, omg, i just wanted to put these old prototypes and demos for curiosity, my new games are obviously a milion of time better, but for history and what i did in the past i wanted to show you this.

Something i remember, a strange memory, is a first game that wasn't truly The Bigball but like a FNAF Fan Made game, or some prototype one perhaps with Game Maker?

I really don't know, i just remember trying to edit something like that, but i dropped it some time later, perhaps it's a false memory or i don't know, and i wanted to talk about this.

There was Mangle in the Pirate Cove if i am not wrong, and also some other animatronics that normally are not there, but i don't remember anything else.

It had also a different title, it was "Bigball: The Saveball", haha, some nonsense title for a game made by a 11 years old kid. :)

And i used the default buttons instead of creating personalized ones, and the keys were really horrible, you had to click the "up arrow key" to make the ball be able to move, and to control the directions with the "W" key, so bad, haha, and this will be the standard for also the other games i did, that were similar to this.

It's obviously bad, but keep in mind that these were PROTOTYPES.

It didn't even have a story for example, it was just tests of levels and to try to win all of it, getting a star as prize, that you lose after closing the game or entering in another area... 😅

It didn't even have the icon, i didn't know how to do it sincerely, and i learnt really slowly how to do them, until in 2019 i tried to do something incredible as games, but didn't worked, and i stopped for this reason but also for other ones, and in 2023 then i started doing the games you know. :)

I didn't even know to put audio,  i put it in a robotic repeated way, so badly, haha, ah, and you could easily go outside of the screen to win cheating, because i didn't know even how to do collisions, now i know obviously.

I call these "prototypes" because they can't even be considered as an alpha or a beta, they are just some experiments, it's the better way to call them.

Why i want to put all of these old bad projects here? 

Because of nostalgia, to make people see how much effort i put to arrive to where i am now, all the evolution and projects, my ideas, and to not lose all of these projects. :)

On my pc they could get lost, but here at least are available, also on Gamejolt they are saved, but i prefer Itch.io, it's the most used now, so yeah.

Also if for you they seem bad projects and nothing else, i see them as an adventure, i had fun and was happy doing them, i started my game developing career doing these ones, and i was also really little, so they are more than just bad games. :)
