Dev with Dave

Welcome to Dev with Dave, join me as I delve into the world of indie game development and make a game as well.

I don't think I have ever used a compiler which can provide accurate line numbers for errors.

My friend sent me this the other day, I thought I'd share it here.

It's scarily accurate...

I tend to use the documentation more than I do search Google. I'm not sure this would phase me that much.

I do sometimes google questions of game design though.

Hello world!

I'm back after a relaxing few weeks off work, and am raring to dive back into finishing off the promotional stuff ready to release Flappy-vaders to the world!

Stick around, and I'll share everything I have done on the blog.

It's a little later than I'd have liked but the next Game Progress Update is finally here!

This is me done now for the year, I'll be back in 2025. Until then Merry Christmas everyone🎁🎅

It's starting to feel a bit more like Christmas now we've got the tree up.

Stick around, as this Friday is Progress update day, and it's the last one of the year.

How hard it seems to build an audience can feel a bit depressing sometimes, especially when there are pages like this on FB with over 200k followers 🙄

I suppose it just goes to show how important consistency is with your social media posting.

I feel like a bond villain with Pluto sat on my arm all the time.

In the next 2 weeks, I will continue working on creating promotional assets, as well as cuddling the cat, & getting ready for Christmas.🎅

It's Monday, & it already feels like it's a busy week.😅

It's Friday, and that means it's time for the next Flappy-vaders game progress update.

I've mostly been creating assets for social media again this week, that and finding bugs I had previously missed. 😅

I saw this earlier, and thought I'd share it.

I'm not sure how I'd react if my IDE gave me criticism like that...

After driving us all bonkers by generally being funny, charging around with the zoomies, the kittens tend to slink off and find somewhere out of the way to have a nap.

In other news, the next game update will be here Friday, so stick around 🙂

One of the better things about this time of year, is the gorgeous sunsets. Which my phone camera totally doesn't do justice to.

Even when it's cold, it's still nice to wrap up & go for an evening stroll. It's good to get away from the keyboard every now and again.

[Dev with Dave @DevwithDave]

It's that time of the week again, where I share the next Game Progress Update for Flappy-vaders.

This time round, the focus is still very much getting promotional material ready for the upcoming marketing push before release.

#IndieDev #DevLog

[Dev with Dave @DevwithDave]

It's really important that your game's UI is as well designed and thought out as possible. I can guarantee you that a percentage of players will still end up misunderstanding it.

This is Pluto helping by keeping my lap warm, now the colder winter days are here.

Don't forget that the next Flappy-vaders Game Progress Update is due this Friday, so stay tuned!

I'll be making videos this week.

I'm working on a new tutorial about updating an old app on the Google Play store which was originally uploaded as an .apk file.

It's something I've had to do more than a few times, and I still have a few titles left to update.

#IndieDev

[Dev with Dave @DevwithDave]

It really does feel like planning and creating the marketing has taken much longer than developing the game, but it's not true. I've been at this a fraction of the time it took to write Flappy-vaders.

I just I don't feel confident doing it, as I'm not an expert.

[Dev with Dave @DevwithDave]

It do be like that! 😂😂
