How I Broke Down Making My First Game — And Found Freedom in the Jungle Pulse

I made my first game at 2 a.m., headphones on, rain tapping the window like a wild heartbeat.

It wasn’t about RTP or RNG—it was about the quiet after the last spin. The kind of silence where you stop expecting rewards… and start feeling them. My father, a Brooklyn poet, once whispered: ‘The best stories aren’t told—they’re felt through the fur.’ My mother, ex-game designer, showed me pixels that cried when they won.

I tried to ‘optimize’ my way into success—until I realized no algorithm could code courage. The jungle doesn’t care if you have skills. It cares if you show up.

My first ‘Beast King Glory’ wasn’t earned with tokens—it was earned with tears in the dark. That night, I posted my story on TikTok—not as a dev, but as someone who’d been lost in the forest long enough to hear the lions roar.

You don’t need more levels to feel alive. You just need one moment—the right one—where your breath catches fire.

Join me on Discord tonight. We’re not building games. We’re rebuilding souls.

خلال ليلٍ طويل، حاولت أُبرمج لعبة بـ”الدموع” بدل “التوكنات”… ووالدي الشاعر قال: “القصص الحقيقية لا تُحكى، بل تُشَمّ!” 🐪🔥 لو كنت تنتظر ربحًا من مهاراتك، فالصحراء ما تهتم! خلّي الخوف ينطّق على نافذتك… جرب تسجيل القصة على TikTok، مش مطوّر، بل مفقود في الغابة لحدّ ما تسمع أصوات الأسود! #جامعة_KAUST_أسطورة_الألعاب

O meu primeiro jogo foi feito com lágrimas e não com tokens… e sim, o mar é que canta quando chove! Meu pai disse: ‘histórias não se contam — sentem-se’. Agora entendo que algoritmos não dão coragem… só dão saudade. Quem mais precisa? Quem tem um coração de fado e um joystick de vento. Alguém postou isto no TikTok — mas eu estou perdido na floresta longe demais para ouvir os leões roncar. E você? Já jogou algo que te fez chorar hoje?

深夜にゲーム作って、涙が出たって…まさかこれ、『ビーストキンググローリ』のボーナスがリアルな戦利じゃなくて、泣きながらのコードだったんですか? 母さんは『フィルム』でピクセルが泣いて、父さんは『ポエト』で『毛皮を通じて感じる』って。でもね、フォレストのライオンは、SNSのいいねより、心の鼓動を聞いてるんです。#静寂が勝ちです

게임 만든 건 진짜 토큰이 아니라 눈물이었어요… 밤에 헤드폰 끼고 비 오는 밤에 ‘정신이 흔들렸다’고 쓴 건… 아빠는 브루클린 시인처럼 말했죠: “스토리는 쓰는 게 아니라 느끼는 거야”. 귀여운 고양이 두 마리가 내 코드를 핥아대며 “레벨 올릴 필요 없어, 그냥 숨 좀 멈춰라” 라고 외쳤어요. 다음엔 디스코드에서 다시 시작할까요? #정신을_구원하는_게임

Nggak nyambut RTP atau RNG… tapi aku main game jam 2 pagi sambil dengerin hujan di jendel! Game pertamaku nggak pake token—tapi pake air mata dan mimpi yang ngebul. Bintang si kucing malah lebih pintar dari AI-ku. Kalo lo mau ‘optimize’ keberhasilan? Coba deh… tidur dulu, baru main lagi besok. Komentar dong—kamu juga pernah ngerasain ini? 😅
