Here comes the launch of my next android game ZigZagNoodles[ http://bit.ly/zigzagnoodlesA ].
This is the third game in my indie game development journey.
I have used tools like Unity5, Paint,net, Sublime text 2 for this game.

Progress started with Alpha version looked like this

Since i am using Unity 5, which is less faster than Unity 4.6 wrt mobile games. Had to go through a tough phase of optimization. Then finally came up with this Beta version which looked like this.

Then finally the polished art, added sounds, end collision effect and the final version looked like

How to develop a 2D game

First question when we want  to develop a game is
Should i write my own game engine?
or
Should i start wit existing game engine?

What to learn or what knowledge you should have?
If you want to create a game engine from scratch you have to learn to code Renderer, Input system, Audio,  Physics, Memory management, etc..
and if you target for more than one platform you have to write/port all these for every platform
or
You have to learn the architecture of the game engine and how to work with the game engine you had choosen.

List of game engines to consider http://paruthidotexe.blogspot.com/2012/08/list-of-game-engines.html

1. I am choosing cocos2dx....  why cocos2dx ?

• Cross platform Windows, Linux, IOS, Android, Bada, Blackberry, WoPhone etc.
• Constant updates from the developers.
