      <title>Bug Fixes and Update (Pixel Fury 3D)</title>
      <dc:creator>Rylen Galloway</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 28 Sep 2026 19:29:16 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/rylen_galloway_5b15f8e262/bug-fixes-and-update-pixel-fury-3d-3ek8</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/rylen_galloway_5b15f8e262/bug-fixes-and-update-pixel-fury-3d-3ek8</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Devs, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For anyone who was wanting to see some changes in Pixel Fury 3d, (The original game link is in my first post)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m a young developer working on my own browser-based FPS game, inspired by fast-paced arena shooters like Rivals. I’ve been spending a lot of time fixing bugs, improving the weapons, and adding new gameplay features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to share some of the latest changes I’ve made!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🔫 Better Gun System&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I added a proper reload system to the guns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Main gun: 30 rounds per reload&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sniper: 5 rounds per reload&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Infinite total ammo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"R" reloads the equipped gun&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a reload animation with the magazine ejecting and a new magazine being inserted&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also worked on making the shooting feel more responsive and reliable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;⚔️ Katana Improvements&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The katana has also gotten some changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;R key&lt;/strong&gt; activates the katana's deflect ability when the katana is equipped.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is for the player to be able to time the deflect, send incoming bullets back toward the enemy, and keep moving normally instead of having the character fly into the air.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also changed the animation to be more like the reference I had in mind, with a quick sword-swing/deflect effect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  💣 NEW: Grenades!
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the newest additions is the grenade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is now a "4th weapon slot" for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Press "4" to equip the grenade, aim where you want to throw it, and press "Q".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The grenade follows the direction you're aiming and then &lt;strong&gt;explodes 2 seconds after being thrown&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This should make fights more interesting because players can use grenades to attack areas instead of only relying on guns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🤖 Bots&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’ve also been working on the enemy bots.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I want them to feel more like actual players instead of just standing around, including things like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Moving around during fights&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jumping and dodging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shooting back&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoiding getting stuck around the map&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Moving away when necessary&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are still things I want to improve with them, but that's part of the fun of developing the game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🛠️ What I’m Working On Next&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are still a LOT of things I want to add.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some ideas I'm considering:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More weapons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Better maps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More realistic animations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Better bot AI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More grenade types&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More game modes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Better visual effects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More polished weapon models&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multiplayer eventually 👀&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm still learning while making this, so I'm definitely expecting to break things along the way 😂&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💬 I’d Love Your Ideas, If you have any, Please comment below :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're a game developer, player, or just someone who has an idea, tell me what you think I should add next!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm especially interested in:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Weapon ideas&lt;br&gt;
Map ideas&lt;br&gt;
Game modes&lt;br&gt;
Bot improvements&lt;br&gt;
Cool abilities&lt;br&gt;
Things that would make the game more fun&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm trying to keep improving the game one feature at a time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading! ❤️&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm just getting started with game development, and I'm excited to see where this project goes.🎮🔥&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>🎮 I'm a Young Developer Trying to Build Games — I'd Love Your Ideas &amp; Advice!</title>
      <dc:creator>Rylen Galloway</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2026 22:16:37 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/rylen_galloway_5b15f8e262/im-a-young-developer-trying-to-build-games-id-love-your-ideas-advice-2bo1</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/rylen_galloway_5b15f8e262/im-a-young-developer-trying-to-build-games-id-love-your-ideas-advice-2bo1</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone! 👋&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm a young developer who has been getting into game development, and I'm really excited to see where I can take it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right now, I'm experimenting with building my own browser games using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My goal isn't just to make something that works — I want to eventually create games that people actually want to play, come back to, and share with their friends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the projects I've been working on is a browser-based FPS game. I'm experimenting with things like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🔫 Different weapons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🎯 Shooting and hit detection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🤖 Enemy bots&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🗺️ Maps and obstacles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🏃 Player movement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;⚔️ Special abilities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;💥 Damage and headshots&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🎮 Keyboard and mouse controls&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;🌐 Eventually turning it into part of a gaming website&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm still learning a LOT, though.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I'll spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to fix something that seems like it should be simple. 😭 Other times, I'll make something work and immediately think, "Wait... I actually made that."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's probably my favorite part of programming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💡 I Want Your Ideas&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is where I'd love some help from the Dev community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What would you want to see in a browser game?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It could be anything:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A cool game mechanic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A weapon idea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A unique game mode&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A map concept&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A way to make bots feel more realistic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A progression system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A multiplayer idea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A completely different type of game&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Something you've always wanted to see in a game&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even weird ideas are welcome. Sometimes the weird ones are the best. 😂&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🧑‍💻 I Also Want to Learn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're an experienced developer or game developer, I'd really appreciate advice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What are some things you wish you knew when you were starting?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What programming concepts should I focus on?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are there mistakes beginners commonly make that I should avoid?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And if you've built games before, what helped you improve the most?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm not expecting people to build the game for me. I want to learn how to do it myself — but having advice from people who have already gone through the process would be awesome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🚀 Where I Want to Go&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eventually, I'd love to have my own gaming website with multiple games that I've created.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know that's a big goal, especially while I'm still learning, but that's part of what makes it exciting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm starting small, learning as I go, breaking things, fixing them, and hopefully getting better with every project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're interested in following along, feel free to follow me here on DEV. I'll be sharing updates, things I learn, problems I run into, and hopefully some finished games along the way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And if you have an idea, piece of advice, or just want to say hi, drop a comment! 👇&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd love to hear from other developers, gamers, and anyone who has an idea for something I could build.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading, and happy coding! 🎮💻&lt;/p&gt;
