2022 Pygame Projects

It's time for my yearly compilation of my Pygame games for the year! Python and Pygame are as great to work with as always, but I started mixing in OpenGL this year too! Many of the projects are games, but there are also some other cool things.

For 2021's recap, I said that I felt like I peaked, but I obviously didn't. lol
Getting excited for my stuff in 2023!

I'm flabbergasted with how much this guy can do with pygame. I can't even imagine the effort behind each one of those games (especially those with crazy shaders lol).

[OettingerPirat]

Every year it feels like you've already broken the ceiling of pygame capabilities. Simply impressive.

[Liam-fduh]

As a relatively new programmer, I always catch myself blaming my tools when projects don't work out, rather than myself. It's awesome to see someone achieving so much with the same tools that I use. All your games this year look amazing!

[conorcoyne]

This is honestly amazing, I've tried using pygame and I had no idea all of this was even possible. I really like how Vaegrant is turning out btw. Love your content.

[lodybaguette]

It's really nice, a pleasure to remind myself about all projects you made, but also what we made this year, I really look forward to see what you can achieve with shaders now you learnt about them !

[unluckyfish]

I've been watching you for some time now and I really love everything you do.
The quality of all the projects you make amazes me.
Keep doing projects like these and more people are bound to be interested in the sheer quality of your stuff.
Cheers, and thanks for entertaining me through 2022!

Its crazy how you can see the improvement in the games from 2021 to 2022. Not even just the visuals, even the mechanics and gameplay seem more polished. Cant wait to see what you do in 2023

[waltergamedev]

Really cool. I've been using pygame for a time so long, that I know a ton of particles, and a ton of tiles need a ton of processing power, and this guy managed to make it fast, is amazing

[mr-processs]

Holy Moly, Dude I can't believe you made these in pygame! Cool grapphics and fun gameplay. Just got into pygame as a start to my game dev adventure and seeing this is so motivational. GG

[Zitrone]

let me say that your work is just in another level, still incredible that all this is made with pygame

[cogsworth]

I love python so much, but I never knew I could do so much with it, you’re such a huge inspiration, thank you so much!

[nodigga]

I just love your recaps for the year and this one is so well made, very epic

[firepotatoplays]

It's absolutely incredible what you can do with only pygame, great job and keep it up in 2023!

[tristandombroski]

Honestly man, I've been struggling to find a good source since I was in middle school... eleven years ago. Seeing this video and a couple others I checked, I wish I had this even five years ago. Thank you for your content and I hope to learn a good bit from you. I'm not even trying to make it a job but rather a hobby where I can build my own personal little world.

[greatgamemate]

Great job! the styles of your games really interested me, your projects are amazing, keep it up for 2023!

[RoboMarchello]

Really nice projects. My favourite projects are 3D model renderer and 3D earth, also the intro is epic

[CloudlessStudio]

I love your projects! You are an awesome programmer, and even though you say your art is not the best I think its awesome!

[zeperoxx]

Holy shit those look good, I didn't expect pygame could be pushed so far specially when it comes to 3D

[DevlogBill]

WOW! You have comes to far! These are some amazing projects.
