Been a bit, hopefully I can get a new game development vlog out soon!

I've been working on save systems for project Elysian and getting a game review section set up on my website since I have a notes stuffed with hundreds of reviews that I just write for myself.

For anyone that’s following my game development journey;

I just graduated from College with a degree in Video Game design but have been unable to find a job in Game Industry despite months of searching and applying to internships and full time positions.

Decided to put together a quick gameplay showcase for the game I'm developing.

It's all very early, but hopefully someone will find it interesting!

I finally wrapped up creating all my spells in Project Elysian. There's still so much work to do, but the spells are the core of my gameplay; completing them is a huge milestone!

You can check it out here #gamedev

Clair Obscur feel likes it’s going to leave a lasting legacy for generations to come, a new classic.

It’s like if Final Fantasy, Dark Souls, and Persona had a child, I’m absolutely loving it!

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole Dev Vlog thing, This video covers a lot of new spells for my game Project Elysian! #videogames

I’ve really gotta stop beating games then proceeding to write 3000 words about what I liked and didn’t like in my notes.

he new Dev Vlog is uploaded. It focuses on the Spell Menu and Combat Improvements! #gamedev

Life's been busy, and I haven't made much progress on the #gamedev side the past 2 weeks, but I can finally refocus on Project Elysian!

I found some time for 3D modeling though! Made a low-poly-ish character to keep learning the tools of Blender, I've still got lots of learning

Another update on my game about some Progression Systems and Lore!

22 hours in and exploring the second zone but absolutely loving Avowed!

Happy I wasn’t discouraged by mixed reviews, I’m disheartened by reviewers who rush through the game and skip side content

Then critique how the experience felt lackluster…..it’s because you didn’t experience it fully.

Took the morning to write some lore for my game and I’m really liking what I’m coming up with

Taking inspirations from ideas like the Veil in Dragon Age & Physonauts focus on mental health & emotions.

Still a long way out until I use anything I write but having the ideas on paper helps

A new Dev Vlog is up; in this one, I made some big steps on small things and feel more confident than ever in my game Project Elysian! #gamedevelopment

I AM A C++ GOD

Finally fixed the issue I was having, turns out I literally just had to add two lines of code under player controller.

I am mildy upset with how much time I spent troubleshooting and breaking stuff but happy it’s working as intended finally.

Whelp. Today I’m grateful that I’ve gotten into the habit of backing things up.

I wanted to make a big change to the game I’m developing but assumed I’d just end up breaking everything…which is exactly what happened.

At least I only lost 5 hours of work though, just how cookie crumbles

I've been playing around with Rigging on this new Blender Character I made.

Next, I'm going to work on a completely new character design with everything I learned from this Blender course! #blender3d

Didn't get to work on my game last week but I made some good progress this week! A new enemy class, refined stuff with all the enemy types, and stayed up Dev Vlog number 4.

Been playing around with character modeling too for a class too, it’s simplistic but a start!
