In the 20 years I've been dabbling with programming, I've made 2 and a half games. Pong (Allegro/C++), A terrible side scroller for a college degree using C#/Torque Game Builder/TorqueScript, and a half because for my degree I was supposed to be the programmer of our team project, but they threw me to 3D assets literally days before we started making it (to add insult to injury they opted to use Torque's stock assets instead of the ones I made). Watching the GamerGate movement has made me lose motivation to make games or even interest to pursue a career in the industry. That is why I've gone to just saying I'm a hobbyist programmer rather than an indie developer.

Ignorant question, what is gamergate? Something I need to Google up?

Edit: have read up on this now. I weep for the species...*facepalm*

The most complete game I've released (outside of work) is my 2013 "Week of Awesome" entry, "Raptor Ace", which had programming and art done by myself and my roommate.

games worked on at work count too. not just indie titles. so if you did a stint at say EA for a few years and were semi-majorly involved in two titles, that's two games.

Many. I did a bunch of games like 10+ years ago, mostly arcade games. My count would for then is about a dozen. I did a couple of big games after that and about a dozen small arcade games for Android. They were successful among my fell game rivals as we played our tournaments with these games. Now I am mostly studying games and hacks. Working on a studio to develop new games. I'd say I've done close to 30 in 10+ years.

I've done a lot of playing around and experimenting. I've started a lot of code projects. I've made little tools and experiments. I've helped with other games or just messed with the source code to come up with something different.

If I only count games started by myself from beginning to end, and playable on a PC, the number is 3.

A maze game.

A tetris clone.

And a puzzle game in OpenGL.

That last 10-25% of a game is killer.

Maze games are fun!
