Hi everyone,
I’m a high school student from Korea working on my first game project called Fragments of Memory.
It’s a mysterious, pixel-art adventure game where the player explores forgotten memories, solves puzzles, and uncovers a dreamlike story.

✅ Current progress:

• Intro cutscene finished
• NPC interaction and dialogue system implemented
• Chapter 1 puzzle design in progress

This is my very first project, so I’d love to get feedback or advice from the community.
Any thoughts on puzzle ideas, level design, or just encouragement would mean a lot!

🌟 First of all, congratulations on starting Fragments of Memory!
Your project already shows a lot of heart and clear vision. The pixel art aesthetic and the mysterious, dreamlike atmosphere you’re aiming for feel very compelling, and the fact that you’ve already implemented NPC interactions and a camera system as a high school freshman is really impressive. 👏

I really like how you’ve structured your README with English + Korean, which makes your project more accessible to a wider audience. Also, sharing your roadmap openly is a professional touch — it gives people confidence that you’re serious about your project.

✅ What’s Great

Clear overview and story concept — easy to understand the game’s identity.

Development progress is transparently communicated.

Emotional motivation (“created with sincerity and passion”) makes it relatable.

Pixel art + puzzles + atmosphere = strong hook for indie gamers.

💡 Suggestions for Improvement

Add Gameplay Media

Even a short GIF or screenshot of your intro or NPC interaction would help potential supporters instantly “see” your progress.

Pixel art shines visually — show it off early!

Explain Gameplay Mechanics More Clearly

Right now, it’s mysterious (which is nice), but players may want to know: What type of puzzles? Is it exploration-heavy? Story-driven? Skill-based?

A few sentences clarifying gameplay flow will attract more serious interest.

Contribution Guide

Since you’re preparing for crowdfunding, you might want to add a section like “How You Can Help” (test play, feedback, art, translation, etc.).

This makes it easier for others to get involved beyond just starring.

Polish Roadmap with Milestones

Break down “Chapter 1 development” into smaller milestones (level design, puzzle coding, art assets, testing).

It shows structured planning and progress.

Community Building

Consider adding links for updates (Twitter/X, Instagram, Discord, or even a Devlog).

This will help you build a small following before launching crowdfunding.

✨ Overall, this is a very promising start. You’ve got a strong concept, clear passion, and already some technical progress. With a bit more detail and media, your repo will really stand out and attract attention from both developers and players.

Keep going — this could become something truly memorable. 🌙

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed feedback — it really encourages me to keep going. 🌟

To share a bit more about the game itself: Fragments of Memory is structured somewhat like Super Mario 64’s painting stages — but instead of paintings, you dive into the memories of various NPCs. Each memory world has its own unique theme, puzzles, collectibles, and eventually culminates in a bullet-hell inspired boss fight, where you recover a fragment of memory. Through these journeys, the protagonist slowly rebuilds their own identity piece by piece.

Gameplay media : I plan to release GIFs/screenshots through GitHub in September, before launching crowdfunding.

Community building : I’ve just opened a Discord server where I’ll be sharing updates and connecting with anyone interested in following or helping the project.

Your advice really helps me see how to present the game more clearly, and I’ll keep improving the repo step by step. Thanks again for taking the time to write such motivating feedback — I hope you’ll enjoy seeing the game evolve.

I’ll definitely take your advice to heart

Hearing that completing even one polished chapter will be a meaningful milestone really reassures me. I’ll keep working steadily and sharing updates as Fragments of Memory grows. Thanks again for taking the time to write such helpful feedback — I truly appreciate it!

Welcome to the world of game development,

I just went through your repo, and I have to say the game’s HUD you showcased in the description looks really well put together. It feels polished in a way that reminds me of what more experienced indie dev's do. The artwork is honestly amazing.

I’m really impressed by your passion, especially at your age. If you’ve uploaded a build or demo anywhere, I’d love to try it out and give you some feedback. And if you ever need help art, ideas, testing, anything I’m happy to jump in. I’m not super experienced yet, but I’d love to support your project!

This is a really promising concept for a first game. The idea of exploring different memories through themed worlds and gradually uncovering the protagonist’s identity gives the project a strong story-driven hook.
