My first playable and most challenging game (to develop) for me

Hey everyone! I just finished my first Ludum Dare and those 72 hours were insane 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I made the game in GameMaker and honestly, it was the toughest project I’ve done so far, but I leveled up a ton during the process.

My main goal was to make the most fun gameplay I possibly could in just 3 days, because to me, gameplay is what matters the most. I’m open to any kind of feedback — even the harsh stuff — so don’t hold back and drop your thoughts in the comments!

Not my game, but it’s a really cool and immersive one I found called Nightfall. It doesn’t have many ratings yet, but I honestly loved it — the atmosphere, music, and gameplay are all amazing. Let’s give the devs some support.

Timelapse of making my game

Decided to record the whole process of creating my first Ludum Dare game — from blank project to final build. It was a crazy 72 hours full of bugs, energy drinks, and last-minute fixes. Learned a lot about GameMaker and time management along the way.

Gameplay from my Ludum Dare game

Here’s a short clip from my first Ludum Dare project! Made in GameMaker in just 72 hours — still can’t believe I got it working in time. Trying to focus on making the gameplay feel fast and satisfying.

Would love to hear what you think!

You control a ship surrounded by drones that help you fight endless waves of enemies. Collect metal, buy new drones, and try to survive as long as you can.

This was my first real playable game, and it was super hard to finish in time, but I learned a lot and had a blast making it.

Hey everyone! I’d love for you to check out my game Drone Collector.

You control a small ship with drones flying around you, collecting metal and fighting off endless waves of enemies. The more you survive, the more intense it gets — drones blasting everywhere, enemies rushing in, chaos all around.

It’s my first real game, and I’m super happy with how it turned out. Would be awesome if you tried it and told me how long you managed to survive!
