just completed my third small game - breakout lite! it's a small breakout clone with only one level. the link is in the reply

starting* whoops!

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.

yeah i suppose so. i think it's nice to have bugs in your first few projects. i can learn from those small mistakes.

Thanks for noticing this. Will fix it in the coming days.

Pong by verbagao A pong video game

check it out: verbagao.itch.io/pong

just finished my second game! it's a pong clone. you can play alone by yourself or in two players! enjoy ~

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #pong

first video is coming tomorrow!!

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!

#indiedev #gamedev #indie #pong

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.

Dodge! by verbagao A video game in which you dodge asteroids

you can play it here 👇

verbagao.itch.io/dodge

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.

#indiedev #indie #gamedev

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! ✅

asteroids spawn now! but the game over menu does not appear 🤔 will have to find a way to fix this somehow

#gamedev #indie #indiedev

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

#indie #gamedev #indiedev

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.

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

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!

unity!

i initially worked in unity, then switched to godot, and now i'm back again in unity. although i'm a software engineer and i know C#, i'm currently going over the junior programmer pathway that unity offers on their website. after that, my plan is to work on creating small games.

background: i got inspired doing game dev back in 2023 but would for some reason always quit doing it. same occurred back in 2024, while in 2025 i rage quited after some minor issues i made while developing my mini-game.

hi bsky!! i go by verbagao / rie and i'm a beginner video game dev. doing game dev has been a long dream of mine and i'm happy to announce that i'll finally start developing games. 🎮
