Projects during Christmas break

My goal during my school break is to stay active by working on new side projects and creating some small games on my own without a walkthrough or tutorial. Right now my plan is to try and re-create classic 2d pixel art games like Pac-man or Asteroids so I wouldn't have to create any good-looking models. I also want to branch out my knowledge of game engines by trying Unreal engine and Game Maker Studio 2. I’ve read that Game Maker has its own built-in pixel creator so maybe I’ll use that instead of gimp to make my sprites.

Hopefully, I can accomplish what I want to do within the month's break and continue updating this blog with small rants about the things I’m working on going forward. Write again soon.
