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!

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!

New devlog out today! Worked super hard over the past few weeks to build out a big part of Dauphin's core "island tier" progression system. Hope you all dig the video, and I'd love to hear what you think about the system!

Happy Friday folks! With Range's release just around the corner (next week!) I couldn't help but dive back into Dauphin after being away from the project for about 4 months. Needless to say, it feels great to be back! I hope you all enjoy the devlog.

Does Range need full controller support? Probably not. Do we have it? Absolutely!

It would be pretty amazing to be self-employed building games. If I could ever replicate the stability I have with my job now it would be hard to say no!

Right now I'm planning on $3 USD base price and launching it on sale. I'd be curious to hear feedback!

I am super excited that Range, my little gamified productivity timer side-project, is finally coming to Steam! Hopefully making the finishing tweaks to store page today. Here's a little teaser in the meantime! #godotengine #gamedev

All of Range's vehicles, accessories, and environments (for now) are complete! Time for some finishing touches before beta testing...

This car looks so cool, I've had my eye on it! My buddy has an R1S that he loves. Range is designed for me to easily add more vehicles, so I'll jot this down!

At the end of 2024 I set out to complete a "short" challenge to rebuild and launch Range, my gamified productivity timer, on Steam. I'm happy to say we're on the home stretch! I have more vehicle & environment customizations to build, but after that, on to my first store page... #gamedev #pixelart

This is the “config” screen, before the timer starts. I plan to keep the timer screen much less distracting!

That is coming! That will definitely need to take place on separate screen. I'm thinking of a button with a "gear" icon above the vehicle to make that transition.

Making some progress on UI for Range! Is it looking too busy? I'd love for the player to be able to set up their tasks & timer AND change their background without having to jump through a bunch of screens... #gamedev #godotengine

That’s the idea! I’m really hoping to have it on steam early Q1 2025. We will see how it goes! Making good progress.
