Gamedev Log: “The Escape” (Unity/C#)

The full gamedev log of how I programmed a simple arcade game in Unity: “The Escape”!

In December 2021, during two weeks, I posted a series of daily gamedev logs as I was creating a little arcade game in Unity/C# called The Escape. It was a really nice opportunity to work on a small-sized project and show its evolution from start to finish.

The game is now playable online for free over here — I hope you’ll like it! :)

Project rules:

1. I posted a new gamedev log every day with a new demo video
2. I worked 1 hour max per day on this project
3. I needed to have a new visual feature by the end of this 1 hour (it couldn’t be just bug fix and refactors)
