What if Breakout was the only arcade game people could make? An open-source game, written entirely on a live stream.
Hello everyone!
When I started this game I had one major challenge: creating an entire game from scratch (no engines or libraries) and live stream the WHOLE development!
I had no idea the game would be released on Steam! So I'm super happy the way it turned out.
In the live streams, a lot of people showed up, helping me out, giving ideas and suggestions for the game. It was a really cool and challenging experience for me.
Yesterday, I have live streamed the last development part of the game: we did a last polishing pass, fixed several bugs, tweaked the gameplay and other things. You can watch that live stream here:

And now, that live stream finishes the series where you can watch a game being created from NOTHING all the way to the release on Steam!
I have learned a lot, had a lot of fun and hopefully you can learn a lot about game development as well by watching the "sausage being made".... so to speak :P
Here is a link to the playlist where you can watch the development - starting from a blank file, creating a window, a renderer, an engine for the game, the base gameplay, improving the systems, playing with different level ideas, polishing and finishing the game!!

I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thanks to everyone who showed up on the livestreams or on Youtube later on.
Now the game is super close to being released!!
You can expect more news soon. :)
Thanks!
