I added character customization to my game! (Indie game devlog #12)

Note: This is an old video, this project is no longer being worked on.

Original description: This video features the new Inventory, Items, Equipment, Walljumping & Wallsliding!
There were a lot of small updates too, but those would make the video too long so...

Once again, sorry for taking a while. :)
Just a heads up for the future, if I don't post a video in a while, that doesn't mean I quit. I just don't get around to making videos often ;)

Anyways, thanks a lot for watching!

(OLD) Indie 2D MMO Game Dev #4: ITEMS, INVENTORY & EQUIPMENT!

DISCLAIMER: Most of the assets shown in the background footage of this video are not made by me (most of them are from wow.)

Footage in the background is from Orbis, the game engine I've been developing in my past time for the past few years. I plan on using it for my new game, although I probably won't be using the editor a lot, given that the game will take place in a procedurally generated world.

I'm starting a new devlog series

First devlog video of the voxel-based action adventure game I just started working on. It's really, really, really, really early in development so there isn't a whole lot to show yet. Nevertheless, I hope you guys enjoy the video.

Indie Game Devlog #1: Voxel World Generation

Sorry for the lack of footage in this video. I mostly did backend/preparatory stuff so there wasn't much to show other than code :P

Indie game devlog #2 - Networking & Multiplayer foundations

In this video I show off my progress on terrain generation and terrain details (vegetation, small rocks and plants on the terrain.) 
Eventually the game will have distinct biomes, the world generation seen in this video is more of a 'placeholder' than something that will be used in the final game. #indiegame #devlog

Indie game devlog #3: Early terrain generation & vegetation

In this video, I show off the work I did on water/liquid rendering & simulation (although the simulation part isn't really finished yet.)  As well as explaining some of the details behind the rendering, reflections and refractions using raymarching. #indiegame #devlog

Indie game devlog #5: I can finally run around!

This somewhat of a different video. I attempt to give a little bit of a glimpse into the game engine that I'm using to create the game. To demonstrate some key ideas/features, I walk you guys through the process of creating a new project from scratch using the bundled command line scripts.

EDIT: Sorry for the quiet audio halfway through the video, I shouldn't have messed with audio normalization in Premiere at the last seconds.

How I made my game look much better (Indie game devlog #9)

In this devlog, I explain how I implemented particle & ribbon emitters into my custom game engine, how I implemented some basic melee attacks, and the animation difficulties I experienced while doing that. I also give a first glimpse of gathering (mining and woodcutting), although that is far from finished. 
Finally I give a summary of the biggest tasks left to do in order to achieve a 'vertical slice' of the game.

I added the FIRST GAMEPLAY to my game! (Indie game devlog #10)

After taking a break from gamedev and the game, I thought it was high time for a channel update. What has happened and what I want for the future of the channel. Footage for this video is mostly old footage, I'll have some new things to show in the future.

If you’re reading this, thank you for sticking around! We’ll see each other soon.
