I’m gonna be dating myself a bit here haha, but I released my first game in 2011. It’s even still available to play if you have flash player lol. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/576782
2011?! Hey! Some of us were already in our late twenties by then...
I sadly do not have Flash, but 50% of your reviews gave it a score of 10 so I'm sure it's amazing! 😄
The first games I ever made were so long ago...text-based adventure games on the ZX Spectrum in BASIC, and being a kid at the time (~10 years old) I had no concept of programming properly or structuring anything. It was just strings being displayed based on input.
The only one I remember is a Superman game.
Bit of a belated reply but you know, this got me thinking. Technically I suppose my first "game" would've been back in the day in BASIC as well, although where you draw the line between "game" and "just a very basic program that is interactive and a small child is amazed by" might determine if it counts lol.
I made this back in may 2019, it was my first release, since then, I've made many other games https://rezioz.itch.io/confined-geometry
To be more precise, I started this one long ago, back in 2016 in Game Maker 8, and I quickly dropped it. Many years later, in 2019, I decided to complete it and to release it. I remember having a hard time to migrate it to Game Maker Studio fixing all compatibilities issues.
I'm thinking of making a sequel (maybe in 3D), but I'm not sure about this...
Good lord I am so terrible at this game, my pb is like 21 seconds 🤦♀️
