Over the last several years, we\u2019ve worked hard, making the best game development tools available to creators worldwide. Large AAA studios to indie game darlings have loved writing their C# and C++ code using JetBrains Rider<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, it looks like a blast! What better time to be making video games than right now? In the spirit of learning and having fun, Maarten Balliauw and I (Khalid Abuhakmeh) have decided to hyperjump into game development, not with just one game engine, but with two! Unity<\/a> <\/strong>and Godot Game Engine<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we published two tutorials focused on developing clones of retro-classics Asteroids<\/strong> and Pong.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Asteroids – Unity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first tutorial, crafted by Maarten Balliauw, is a guided journey into coding an Asteroids clone using the Unity Game Engine. Along the way, he harnesses the power of the JetBrains AI Assistant to breeze through mundane tasks and accelerate toward a fully functional game. You’ll learn to build Unity games in a digestible written tutorial, and you can also follow a companion video that walks you through Maarten\u2019s process step-by-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
