Every Step to develop a game from scratch and release it on Steam

Dan Zaidan October 5, 2019

Hello everyone!

In the course of 24 livestreams, we development a game from scratch, going from having absolutely nothing to having a game released on Steam!

In these 24 livestreams (a total of 81 hours of development), there is a LOT of good information for you, so I decided to organize it and list the main topics discussed throughout the development.

Kind of a step by step of what we did to develop the entire game.

Hopefully it can help you and point you in the right direction!

Steps taken to create the game:

Source Code Walkthrough

Dan Zaidan September 28, 2019

Hello everybody!

The game we have have created FROM SCRATCH on a live stream was released on Steam last week!

To celebrate it, I have opened the source code of the ENTIRE game to the PUBLIC DOMAIN so you can download it to learn, modify, copy, make your own games, whatever you want!

Download the Source Code for FREE: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155530/Source_Code__Break_Arcade_Games_Out/

To help you get the big picture, I have made this video talking about the code, the structure and the basics of how it works.

I hope you like it!

GAME RELEASE!

Dan Zaidan September 20, 2019

It's been quite a journey everyone, but now we have reached the end!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145020/Break_Arcade_Games_Out/

About two months ago, I started developing a game from scratch in C with the extra challenge of live streaming the entire process. I have been super happy with the reception of the live streams on Twitch, the recordings on Youtube and the project on the Handmade Network.

What started out as a small game just to have fun, learn and teach, ended as a full release on Steam! I could not be happier with the way it turned out.

To celebrate it, I shared the source code for the game as a FREE download. The source code is dual licensed: public domain and a "do-whatever-you-want-with-it" license, so yo

The game is DONE: watch the ENTIRE development

Dan Zaidan September 16, 2019

Hello everybody!

I'm very excited to say that the game I've been making entirely on live streams is now complete! This has been a wonderful journey and I'd like to thank everyone who are watching and have helped.

The series started about two months ago and I really wasn't sure how it would turn out when I wrote the first line of C code, from scratch.

Well, now I can happily say that the game will be released on STEAM! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145020/Break_Arcade_Games_Out/

The last programming live stream was done, where I fixed some bugs, polished some details and tweaked the game. You can watch it here:

All the previous episodes are available for you to watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Ej6SUky1357r-Lqf_nogZWHssXP-hvH
