A different video today! I struggle sometimes to dedicate time for game dev, so I decided to take recordings of me drawing pixel art for my game and put them up with some chill music. So if you need something in the background while you work, take a look! #gamedev #pixelart

Here is the first episode of my very first #devlog! It's a game called "Wizard's Keep" that I had prototyped earlier. Tune-in as I talk about my progress and the ups and downs as I learn along the way in the first full game I ever make. #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Here is me talking about my platformer prototype made in #Godot. It's called "Color Swap" and you play as a little slime that changes colors. I go over the mechanics I implemented to make it feel better, and why making platformers is harder than you think. #indiedev #gamedev

Today's video is about my very amateur attempts to learn how to draw pixel art. I go through some of my practice drawings, sharing the good and the bad! It was a ton of fun to draw these, and I know I need to keep practicing!

Hello! I released another video about the many prototypes I've made in order to learn game dev. This time it's a vampire-survivors inspired game. The video is about scope creep, and when I stopped over designing what should just be a prototype to learn! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Made another video about learning how to be a Game dev. It's about how I first struggled with implementing a save/load feature while remaking Flappy Bird in Godot. It's all about slow and steady progress and starting somewhere!

Hello! I made a short video on my journey of learning how to be a game dev. This time I talk about why I ended up choosing Godot for the foreseeable future. Today's prototype is a simple brick breaker re-make. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #YouTube #devlog
