As a passionate indie developer, I created GBuds Kids, a feature-rich educational mobile game designed for children aged 3–10. I started this project solo, driven by a mission to build a safe, ad-free, and engaging learning environment that parents could trust and kids would love.
Over time, I expanded the team by hiring 4 skilled collaborators to support me with animations, sound design, and testing. Despite being a small team, I handled the majority of development myself — from gameplay programming and UI/UX design to localization systems and publishing pipelines.
Built with Unity and C#, GBuds offers handwriting practice, logic puzzles, phonics, and multilingual learning in 10+ languages, structured into 19 engaging category levels. Every detail — from the touch-based interactivity to the lightweight offline architecture — was crafted with children’s ease and safety in mind.
I published GBuds Kids on both the Play Store and App Store as a one-time purchase app (no ads, no subscriptions), and it's fully compliant with global mobile store policies. I'm currently working on future updates that include 3D, AR, and multiplayer learning features.
This project was a major step in my journey as an indie developer — blending creativity, code, and purpose into a complete commercial product from concept to global release.
Hope you are doing well. I’m Lokesh from Tamil Nadu, India. I have done my MBA in logistics and supply chain management from Pondicherry University.
My passion for video games drove me to the point of developing my own game, so I decided that I would complete Unity's junior programmer foundation program for game development at its learning platform. I have gained several pieces of knowledge in several different fields and I am eager to learn and apply what I have learned effectively.
I developed my skills in Animation, Graphic Design, VFX, AI in games, BOLT (Visual Scripting), and C# coding. After that, I created two mini-games and published them on Itch.io.
My core competencies in Web development, Robotic process automation (RPA), Program Management, Data Analytics, Microsoft Office, Game design and development, C# programming, Adobe Photoshop, Blender (basics), Clay modeling (basic), Stock market, NFT's
