Keep updated on YouTube with this Playlist!

This playlist contains every Game Dev Log episode, stay tuned. (This may include devlogs for future games and other videos.)

Game Dev Log #001 (This video is BAD! Skip it)

This is the very rocky start to the series. Back in 2019, I still didn't really know much about reading scripts and my editing skills were lacking. This episode featured animations and movement being implemented into the game, it also features a horrible pixel art segment.

Game Dev Log #002

This is a somewhat shorter video, and still pretty bad. This features tile sets and a camera system being added to the game.

Game Dev Log #003

This is where the series gets a little bit better and more descriptive. By this point the game has a collision and lighting systems. (Skimming over details)

Game Dev Log #004 (The Long One & New Meta)

This is where the series really starts to ramp up! I go into more detail with the features I have added in the game. These features are:

• A Projectile/Particle System
• Basic Combat
• Sprinting (Later Removed)
• Various Small Tweaks and Additions
• Detailed History of my Game (10min segment)

Game Dev Log #005 (The One that Matters)

This is where I feel I have nailed the meta established in #004. My editing and script reading skills have definitely improved. This is where I feel a big bulk of the game's features come in. By this point the game has reached it's fourth internal Alpha stage featuring a new, custom lighting system, RNG system, a proper GUI, basic demo levels, optimizations, and new mechanics. This is also where I kinda reveal what development is really like; in February the game was in a rough patch because I had a spaghetti code problem, I have fixed it the best I could which basically required a basic rewrite of the combat system and player routines. (I am glad I hadn't implemented AI in this mess)

Game Dev Log #006 (It Feels Like a Game!)

This episode builds on the last, but it is basically ALL about AI. This details the wonky beginnings of AI and shows how I have taken the game from a hobby project to a semi-prototype. I also go into detail about the enemies in the game, along with some other features.

That's a Wrap!

Thank you for reading this mega-thread. Comments are disabled as I want discussions to appear on future devlogs.
