Death’s Job Game

#gamedev #python #pygame #gemini

🚀 I just built my first ever 2D game - Death’s Job! 💀🎮
A little ghost. A sky full of obstacles. And a lot of physics.

I started this project purely out of curiosity -
“How do people make a game from scratch using something low-level like Pygame?”

So, I opened a new Python file… and a few days later, I surprisingly had most of the game logic working.
Gravity, physics, collisions, obstacle generation - all fun to implement.

But then I hit the real boss fight in game development:
🎨 finding assets that actually match.
I was using random images from the internet… and the game looked like a cursed collage.

Then Diwali happened. Then my university exams happened.
And the project sat untouched.

Once exams ended, I returned with fresh energy and decided to finish it properly.
So, I generated matching sprites using Gemini + creative prompting, and honestly… asset creation was harder than the coding 😅

For sound effects and background music, I went digging through Pixabay and finally found pieces that fit the vibe.

Today - after polishing the UI, splash screen, physics, and gameplay.
I’m proud to say the game is complete. 🎉
