Building my first mobile game from scratch in Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺

Hey everyone!

I'm Marty from Tasmania Australia and I'm currently building my very first mobile game called Tickle n' Peek.

I've never made a game before and had absolutely no coding experience when I started. I've been learning Godot with the help of ChatGPT as I go and somehow I've managed to turn an idea into something that's actually starting to look and play like a proper game!

I've also started my own little indie game studio called Pocket Pixel Labs.

Tickle n' Peek is a colourful tracing game with a few twists to make things interesting. It's been a massive learning experience and I'm hoping to get it onto the App Store soon.

I've attached a screenshot of the main menu so you can see what I've been working on. Still plenty to do but it's getting there!

I'm really just here to meet other people doing similar things, get some feedback and hopefully learn a few things before my first launch.

Would love to hear from anyone else who's built their first game or is currently working on one. What's something you wish you'd known before launching?

Hopefully Launching November 2026

Cheers from Tassie!
