tomorrow i'll work on a small cute game - chocolate catcher! the idea is to catch dark chocolate while avoiding white chocolate for one minute. i hope it turns out great!

why i’ve quit game dev four times (the real reason) #indiedev #gamedev #indie
February 11, 2026 at 3:45 PM
taking a day off today to work on social media content. what do we think is the best way to get more following/prominence before starting your first commercial game? i must admit that i'm not even close to that but i'm still interested to do this from early on.

while it's fun to work on small games, i've been thinking about expanding them in the future. my goal, at least for now, is to learn basic game mechanics and keep my games as simple as possible, with small scopes of courses. later, i'll probably expand them a bit and polish them.

officially start on my third small game! it will be a breakout clone, inspired by the Ricochet series. I'll make it very simple for now, so it'll have only one level. I should be able to complete this tomorrow.

first video is coming tomorrow!!
February 7, 2026 at 7:12 PM
quite proud of myself - i managed to create everything in this video just under an hour. on my first project, it took me several hours to do all of this. what is left to do is to add the win/lose screens, assets, and of course, the pong ball!

today i'm starting my second game - a pong clone. it will stay very simple like my previous game. i assume that it will not take a lot of time to develop this game as i will reuse some parts from my previous project. nevertheless, i expect to finish it tomorrow.

starting on my 2nd mini game tomorrow! will also try to get out my first video before the end of this week. if i don't manage that, then it'll most likely be up on monday/tuesday.

just finished working on my first game ever! it's called Dodge! and in it you dodge falling asteroids. to complete the game, you have to wait for the one minute timer to run out.

i think that's enough for today. what is left to do:
- implement a two minute timer
- add music
- create a main menu
- make game look nicer

hopefully, the game will be finished tomorrow!

#indie #gamedev #indiedev

and it's fixed! ✅
February 3, 2026 at 1:23 PM
asteroids spawn now! but the game over menu does not appear 🤔 will have to find a way to fix this somehow

here's the progress so far. i've added an animated sprite for the player and a game over screen. what is left to do:
- add sprites for the enemies
- make them spawn randomly over time
- implement a two minute timer
- add music
- create a main menu
- make game look nicer

and it's working! we can continue now.

had to reinstall unity because of this error. tried re-installing visual c++ 2010 but it did not fix anything. hopefully the editor will launch now.
February 3, 2026 at 10:47 AM
done for today! i added movement mechanisms and ontriggerenter (for now, it destroys the player but in the future it'll pause the game and display a pop-up). tomorrow, i'll have more time to work on the game.

#indiedev #gamedev
February 2, 2026 at 2:12 PM
and... i am officially starting on my first "small game". it will be extremely simple - you control a character who has to dodge falling items. i expect to finish this in the next few days. stay tuned!
