𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 #𝟬𝟱
Today’s game: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵

Candy Crush is a great example of how a simple puzzle idea can keep players coming back again and again.

The player mainly does one thing,

👉 match similar candies.

That’s it.

But the game becomes interesting because every level gives a small challenge. The player has limited moves, different goals, special candies, obstacles, rewards, and the feeling of “just one more try.”

This is an important lesson for beginner game developers.

𝗔 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹, 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁. The rules are easy to understand, but the level design keeps changing the way the player thinks.

👉 Beginner lesson

You do not always need action, enemies, or fast movement to make a game fun.

A simple puzzle mechanic can become powerful when you add clear goals, limited moves, satisfying feedback, level variety, and small rewards.

👉 Mini challenge

If you were creating your own Candy Crush-style puzzle game, what would you change?

Maybe the theme?
Maybe the objects?
Maybe the level goals?
Maybe the power-ups?
Maybe the rewards?

Another exciting update from one of our CSGD students.

𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗮 has developed a new web game called 𝗢𝗠𝗜 as part of his 𝗙𝗢𝗫𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲 project.

OMI brings the classic Sri Lankan card game experience into a web browser, making it easy to play without downloading an app.

What makes this project interesting is that it is playable directly from the web browser, without downloading an app.

The game includes,

🤖 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝘃𝘀 𝗔𝗜
Play against AI players.

🃏 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲
Control all four sides and learn how the game works.

🌐 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
Create a room, share the room code with friends, and play together online in 1v1 or 2v2 mode.

This is a great step because Rosh*th is not only building a game, but also exploring web gameplay, online multiplayer flow, AI players, and a local Sri Lankan game concept.

Well done Rosh*th 👏

Keep building, keep experimenting, and keep improving your games.

We’ll add the game link in the first comment. Please try it and share your feedback to support his progress.

𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 #𝟬𝟰
Today’s game: 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻

Temple Run is a great example of how speed and pressure can make a simple game feel exciting.

The player mainly does a few things,

👉 turn, jump, slide, and collect coins.

That’s it.

But the game becomes intense because the player has to react quickly. The path keeps changing, obstacles appear suddenly, coins guide the player forward, and one small mistake can end the run.

This is an important lesson for beginner game developers.

𝗔 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. The controls are simple, but the pressure, speed, danger, and rewards keep the player focused.

👉 Beginner lesson

You do not need a complicated system to create excitement. Simple actions can feel powerful when the player has to react fast, avoid danger, collect rewards, and keep going.

Good pacing, clear obstacles, and increasing challenge can make a small game idea feel much more engaging.

👉 Mini challenge

If you were creating your own Temple Run-style game, where would it take place?

Maybe an ancient temple?
Maybe a jungle?
Maybe a haunted castle?
Maybe a futuristic city?
Maybe a Sri Lankan historical place?

Another CSGD Practice Hub project submission to highlight today.

𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐡, from the CSGD 100-Day Game Development Course Batch 4, has published 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 on itch.io.

This project comes from one of our 𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

In the game, players click and destroy targets, earn points for successful hits, and try to beat the clock before time runs out.

It is a simple 2D arcade-style project, but it includes important beginner game development concepts like target spawning, player input, scoring, timer-based gameplay, feedback, and publishing.

This is exactly why we created the Project Quest system inside the Practice Hub.

Students can learn a concept, build a small playable project, submit it, publish it, and slowly grow their confidence as game developers.

Well done Akash 👏
Keep building, keep practicing, and keep publishing your work.

Today we’re highlighting another project listed on the new 𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 page.

𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗩𝗥 is a 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗩𝗥 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 project built by 𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 during their time working as game developers at 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘃 𝗫𝗥 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝘀.

In this VR experience, players step into a festive workshop environment, take on Santa’s role, assemble and customize toys, complete toy-making tasks, and interact with a Christmas-themed world.

What makes this project special is that it goes beyond a normal screen-based game.

Students had to work with Unity, VR interactions, Meta Quest development, gameplay flow, environment design, testing, and publishing for VR devices.

Projects like this show how CSGD students can grow from learning the basics into working on real interactive experiences with industry-style practice.

We’re slowly adding more student, intern, and studio projects to the CSGD website so visitors can see what our learners are building.

Visit the 𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 to explore more projects.

More will be added along the way.

What is the biggest thing stopping most beginners from starting game development?

❤️ Don’t know where to start
👍 Afraid of coding
😮 No powerful computer
😂 Too many tutorials, still confused
🔥 Starting big projects too early

React with your choice 👇

Most beginners don’t fail because they can’t learn.
They struggle because they don’t have a clear path.

Another CSGD student project to share today.

Rukshan, from the CSGD 100-Day Game Development Course Batch 1, has published his 3D endless runner mini game called Vesak Runner.

He also submitted the project through the CSGD Practice Hub, which makes this a special update for us.

In the game, the player runs through a Vesak-themed road environment, avoids obstacles, and tries to keep going while improving the score.

It is a simple mini project, but this is exactly how game development progress happens.

Students learn one concept, build a small version, test it, improve it, and finally publish something others can play.

Well done Rukshan 👏
Keep building, keep practicing, and keep improving your games.

This is the kind of student progress we want to see more through the CSGD Practice Hub.

𝗖𝗦𝗚𝗗 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 #𝟬𝟯
Today’s game: 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱𝘀

Angry Birds is a great example of how physics can make a simple game feel fun and satisfying.

The player mainly does one thing,

👉 pull, aim, and release.

That’s it.

But the game becomes interesting because every shot feels different. The angle, power, bird type, blocks, and structure all affect what happens after the player releases the bird.

This is an important lesson for beginner game developers.

𝗔 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁, 𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. The player understands the goal clearly, but still has to think about timing, direction, force, and strategy.

👉 Beginner lesson

You do not always need many controls or a big world. A simple mechanic can become powerful when it reacts in an interesting way.

Physics, feedback, and level design can make even one action feel different every time.

👉 Mini challenge

If you were creating your own Angry Birds-style game, what would you change?

Maybe the character?
Maybe the objects?
Maybe the world?
Maybe the power-ups?
Maybe the target?
