I have a game idea. (edit: Postponed for a few years.)

[Maze24]

get a good game programmer to make the game.

I was thinking triangles on the sides to make it look less blocky.
Like this:

That looks like it has been saved in jpg format, I suggest saving pixelart in png.

My dad is a good programmer.

Ok, thanks.

Update:
My dad decided that instead of making his own engine, he will use an existing one.

Use one like Fraxy or BF.

Use one like Fraxy or BF.

Fraxy can be made on like 30 different engines.

Engines are not really templates where you insert your own stuff, engines are code that SUPPORT something, like movement of sprites or multiplayer.
So games on the same engine can be completely different.

My dad - wants auto turrets

Me - Mouse turrets

Turrets should be Auto. Why have manual ones when you have guns?

They are going to be auto or manual, depending on user's choice.

My dad is a good programmer.

There's a difference between a good programmer and a good game programmer. My dad can write code fluently in several different coding languages, but he can't program games at all.

If you can do something else in Java other than games, you'll be able to make simple games too.
But if he works on it long, he might be able to make it more complex.

Make the weaker turrets auto, and the large cannon(s) manual.
