I'm building a game in C
I've been working on a game since about August 2020 but only recently published my Steam page.
For the Common Wealth on Steam
The game is entirely written in C, with one third party dependency, SDL3.
I chose C because I wanted to leave my options open to build for retro platforms like RISC OS and Amiga, but as the game grew, I wanted GPU acceleration and that meant leaving behind some of the retros. I'm not ruling out any ports though, if SDL3 is available on the platform.
The engine beyond SDL3 is my own, it's a 2.5D game, with levels edited in my own level editor (not in C, that's C# and Avalonia). The level editor exports levels into just plain memory dumps that are easy to read in C.
I'm trying to keep on top of a devlog here too:
Podule · Independent game studio
Writing this game in C has been enormous fun, and I have no plans to change my choice of C for future games.
