I will build one game per month in 2025
January 1, 2025 · 1 min read
Many developers dream of becoming game developers. I never really had that dream, but lately I’ve been curious about how games are built.
So I’ve decided to try—to learn something I can bring into other kinds of programming.
I’ll build one game per month. I’ll just scratch the surface, but it will be fun and educational.
The dominant engines are Unreal, Unity and Godot. I’ll start with something simpler: Phaser.js (JavaScript). Easy to get started, but still covers a lot of game dev principles.
