Figured I'd snapshot my thoughts before and during my solo project. I'll likely update in this thread periodically. I'll be picking "Haver" as my protag and going with the RPG genre. More details in the video... not used to even doing videos but thought I'd do something different.

Second Part of the dev diary, mostly me rambling and thinking out loud about the story. Later diary entries will probably be more edited and speed work processy.

Third part with actual game dev footage if you can believe it, as it turns out I'm not an idea guy.

part 4, my favorite part is initial level creation, blocking out the space

and anotha one, this time doing the world map and level transitions

Still making my battle dev log, been taking awhile to edit as I want it to be good, but here's an article I just wrote about RPG damage numbers, as I've been thinking about how to implement them:

Haven't updated in awhile, but I basically put editing together footage on hold til after the jam as I'm in crunch mode for the next 2 days.

submitted!! I have so much development footage to edit, and probably a post mortem

uploaded a new build, this might be the final one unless I feel like adding onto it. After Kyle's stream of it I'll probably focus on the post mortem / dev log.

This is my most edited most scripted behind the scenes thing yet, hopefully I don't talk too fast. Idk if anyone will make sense of this because I'm trying to condense about 10 hours of raw gamedev footage into 30 mins.

Final video on the process, I moved on and decided to just wrap it up basically.
