your first game

Only if she put it on the Refrigerator

When you mention incomplete games, I don't know if making a miniature zork was the first for me. Pre-middleschool, I got my hands on flash because of a family friend who convinced my mom it was a good idea to expose her child to computers at the age of 4 or 5. I don't recall what version of flash it was, but the code had to be written inside the frames lol.

I drew a block with 2 lowercase T's coming out of it (le spaceship) and I wrote code to make it move left and right when you pressed the arrow keys. My first 'program' ever was a game

Speaking of all of these games, is anyone going to participate in Ludum Dare this weekend?

 

It may be wired to ask but what is Ludum Dare?

 

It's a gamedev competition.

I remember me playing in the C64 an alien planet flying a space ship down a procedurally generated canyon with crystals on the walls...

Made it for a school project and to learn the basics in unity.

 

My first game was a pong clone...
It was...great...
I mean, it worked, points for that?

 

The first game i actually finished was literally a pong clone

 

Highfive

 

my first game with unity was a blank screen of blue color and amazingly it worked on PC and Android xD

 

"Your mom likes your game!" An odd turn of events, where a mom joke is both warranted, and not insulting.
Gigi

 

I was wondering when Gigi would show up. Glad he did it with style, too.

@Gigiwoo: first game?

 

MY first (and to date ONLY game) Star Wars Trench Run.

If you ever get the photon down the vent you get to see the Death Star explode ! (admittedly It's hard to get down the vent).

 

Are you sure? Mine might be an anomaly. I'd been a project engineer (ie, producer/tech lead/manager) for 3D visualization for years. Writing articles, focusing on the tech, and releasing open source game engines. Then, one day, we got a major contract to build a Navy training game. As project engineer, it was the first time I would truly wear the game designer hat. I applied everything I had learned, researched like a fiend, and tested my ideas to death. And, we ended up with the Damage Control Trainer. It won 3 national awards. It's now a standard part of every recruits training - 40,000 per year.

Looking back, I can't believe how little I knew, while at the same time, knowing enough to design something truly worthwhile. My first solo, Indy projects were much different - and you've all heard those stories anyway.
