Most of my gamedev-oriented work is very focussed on technical issues around rendering, physics, world management, etc. This is the complete opposite: we put together a team of 2 programmers and a composer to enter our first game jam, grabbed an artist at the meet-and-greet the night of, and went on to win the game jam:

It provided a great feeling of validation not only that the technical work over the years has in fact paid off, but that we were able to take an entire game from concept to demo, without spending a lot of time, money, or broken friendships.

Cool, good to hear. I often wonder indeed if we don't forget to actually finish/ deliver something functional instead of working around the clock only for making 'a component' perfect.

Any other proud coders?

In the first 5 years of my career, every PC/console game that I worked on was cancelled :(

This is one of the cancelled games from 2010. We had a month to prove that we could do "AAA" quality in the engine, and pumped this realtime cutscene out, which I was really proud of:

This was the second game that I actually shipped, but the first one that I was involved with from beginning to end. We managed to do a massive overhaul of the renderer in about six months, in a frantic attempt to look like every other PS3/360 sports game of 2012: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13063685/RLL2f.pdf
Lots of the graphics work on that game was really innovative (IMHO), but simultaneously were totally not good ideas in general (e.g. all the stuff that relies on the playing field being a flat plane... mixing three different shadowing techniques together to get the best quality in the shortest amount of development time...). I was proud of the number of creative solutions we came up with in a very short time frame.

Cool to see what makes us proud.

@Hodgman; the animation with the Audi R8 looks pretty neat, what's the name of the finished game and-or is there anything realtime available? (even knowing it was cancelled in the end :))

Well, that'd be this thing I just finished up:

I'm still working on it, and hope to have more done on this project. It's not strictly just game dev, since it's more focused on art and story, but it does make use of gameplay.

@deltaKshatriya: that's nice, is it your own/ personal 'pet project'?

@imoogiBG: the race game looks fun. Did you develop it with your own team and then got it published through Gameloft?
