Excited to share a new devlog with y'all today! It's perhaps the biggest project I've undertaken on my channel, representing my #gamedev journey from an empty #godotengine project all the way to Steam. Really hope you enjoy!

Boy is it good to be back! Excited to share a new devlog today after a long break and welcoming a big change to our family🐣. I've been working on a big new feature to enable more player choice and re-playability - hope you dig it!

@MagnusJonsson @F_Cool_Indies Alive and well! Still making progress while learning to be a dad! Devlog on the way soon 👀

Happy new year y'all! Had a great time chatting with @F_Cool_Indies on his podcast to close out the year - feel free to give it a listen if you're looking for some productivity ideas to carry into January. Hoping to see you all for a new devlog soon!

@F_Cool_Indies Oops! Forgot I had not subscribed 😀 Looking forward to the podcast Mike!

Hey folks! Hope everyone is gearing up for an enjoyable holiday season. Just dropped a new devlog, following part 2 of my refactor of Dauphin's combat system! This week I focused on new dodge, block and parry mechanics. Hope you dig it!

@Pontypants Your mileage may vary! Looking back on many years of gaming I find that setting goals in games is what really keeps me hooked these days for whatever reason.

@TechnomagGames @MyloSoft_ Short answer, no! I find my career as a software engineer to be a great complement to my hobby as a game dev. That said - I'm the type of person who can code for their hobby all morning then still enjoy coding at work. Gotta find what's right for you!

[Ben @_devduck]

New devlog out today! I've kicked off the first part of Dauphin's combat refactor where I hope to evolve my old placeholder system into something fun and rewarding for the player. Let me know what you think!

@Pontypants Really enjoyed this book!

[Ben @_devduck]

Hey folks! Been a bit too busy lately for a full devlog, but I had a lot of fun this week putting together a little day-in-the-life video. Let me know if you dig this format!

@arieare I talk about this quite a lot in Dauphin's first devlog! Grew up on a lake with my best friend who has gone on to become a marine biologist. Dauphin is my way of reconnecting with my love of marine life and exploration!

[Ben @_devduck]

New devlog out today folks! Worked super hard over the past few weeks to build out a big piece of Dauphin's core progression system. Would love to know what you think!

@Sloth_Punk3 Thanks Sloth!

[Ben @_devduck]

Was an absolute privilege joining @thomasbrushdev on his podcast! Learned a lot from our conversation and feeling charged up to continue my game dev journey. Thanks for having me on!

@yourgeekeric I would say it's not so much about planning / organization (though there is a chapter on that) but more about the fundamentals of designing a good game experience itself. Totally worth the read!

[Ben @_devduck]

Happy Saturday y'all! Been a while since I've posted... but excited to share a new devlog today as I get back into the groove! Hope you enjoy a week of progress working on an important part of Dauphin's foundational gameplay.

@BenjiGameDev Back when I did the OOT "uber challenge" I definitely had to do some frame-perfect silliness with bombs for some glitches. I think this was the case getting into the shadow temple with a bombchu...
