🇰🇷 데브로그 5편: 식객들을 더 소개합니다.

은하(칠성), 서리(백호), 한결(학자), 보듬(약초꾼). 저마다 오행 중 하나를 품고 있고, 옷은 한복에 판타지를 섞었어요.

누구를 코스프레 해 보고 싶으세요?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

Dev log #5: more of the crew.

Seven Stars, White Tiger, the Scholar, the Herbalist. Each one carries one of the Five Elements, and their outfits mix Korean traditional dress with fantasy.

Which one would you cosplay?

🇰🇷 데브로그 2편: 이제 폰에서 돌아갑니다.

아내와 아이폰 두 대로 같이 해요. 테스트 7,000개가 놓친 버그를 실제 플레이가 잡았어요. 보스전 발열, 말풍선 속으로 사라지는 NPC.

둘 다 고쳤고, 보스 번개는 오행마다 제 색으로 빛나요.

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

Dev log #2: it's on our phones.

My wife and I play it on two iPhones via TestFlight. Real play caught what 7,000 tests missed: hot phones in boss fights, NPCs vanishing into floating speech bubbles.

Both fixed. Boss lightning glows in each element's color.

🇰🇷 데브로그 6편: 저승사자 명우를 소개합니다.

"갈 사람들이 다 남아 있어요. 그걸 조사하러 왔어요."

그의 명부에는 이름이 두 번씩 적힌 사람이 많습니다. 이런 적은 처음이래요.

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

Dev log #6: meet Myungwoo, the reaper.

"Everyone due to leave is still here. I came to find out why."

In his ledger, many names are written twice. He's never seen that before.

🇰🇷 데브로그 4편: 컷인.

지난번엔 초상화를 보여 드렸죠. 이번엔 움직입니다. 청룡, 주작, 구미호.

식객마다 하나씩 있고, 보스전에서 필살기를 쓸 때 나옵니다.

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

Dev log #4: cut-ins.

Last time I showed the portraits. Here they move: azure dragon, phoenix, nine-tailed fox.

Every crew member gets one. It plays when they unleash their ultimate in a boss fight.

🇰🇷 데브로그 3편: 분위기.

잎 하나하나가 세계인 세계수. 떠 있는 섬들. 그리고 거두어 들인 떠돌이 식객들. 저마다 오행 중 하나와 이어져 있어요.

주작, 청룡, 구미호. 모두 초상화와 컷인 애니메이션이 있습니다.

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

Dev log #3: the mood.

A world tree whose leaves are worlds. Floating islands. And a crew of wanderers you take in, each tied to one of the Five Elements.

Phoenix, azure dragon, nine-tailed fox. Each one gets a portrait and a cut-in animation.

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

🇰🇷 혼자서 코지 선협 게임을 만든 지 두 달째예요.

떠 있는 섬들, 세계수, 그리고 오행 보스전에 내보내는 식객들.

Claude Code와 함께 커밋 427개. 데브로그는 여기서 시작합니다.

@AsobiLabWorks Your promo video is so well made! My wife and I kept a betta a few years ago. We don't have fish anymore, but this makes me want a little tank on my screen. Will there be bettas in the Dex?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@changcheon_cos 역시 디테일이 멋을 만드네요 ㅎㅎ 이번에 고민 중인 의상은 어떤 캐릭터예요?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@Eimoiracanon Lumine in Snezhnaya style is such a fresh take. Did you design the outfit yourself, or is it based on official art?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@siya_ly03 커트까지 직접 하시는구나, 대단해요! 라레후 무기는 어떤 재료로 만드실 생각이에요?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@siya_ly03 생각보다 꽤 걸리네요! 가발 커트까지 직접 하세요, 아니면 세팅만 하세요?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@Yuu__kira @Pyo_Chan_cos The transition is so clean. Which of the two outfits took longer to make?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@derpitect The cavern acoustics are a really nice touch. Are you blending reverb zones as the player walks in, or setting it per area?

[Jungbeom Lee @JungbeomL]

@mudassar6969 @expo @swmansion @wcandillon Love seeing games ship in React Native. I'm building a cozy xianxia game in Expo, and frame drops in boss fights were my biggest fight on iPhone. Did capping hitches at 34 ms change how it feels on older phones?
