I guess I should try to make a trailer for Dovvee's ReQuest soon. That's been the plan for a while. I just don't know how. I might have to forego it but I want to at least try. I have minimal video editing software knowledge. An incredibly simplistic trailer is better than none, right? #GameDev

Nearly finished with my 2nd playthrough of my own game, Dovvee's ReQuest. Only found 8 issues so far which is significantly less than what I'd found up to this point during my first run. #GameDev

I took on some feedback. I think it's more readable now but I'm still open to more feedback. #GameDev

Working on the store page thumbnail for Dovvee's ReQuest. Trying to fit the name (logo) in and show what the game's like at the same time. Does it read well? #GameDev

Setting up the Itch page for Dovvee's ReQuest!

I finished my first full playthrough of Dovvee's ReQuest! It took me quite a while because I had to fix... *checks notes* 132 issues... #GameDev #IndieDev #GBStudio #GameBoy

dude turn on the news. any channel

After failing 15 attempts in a row at the final boss on Dovvee's ReQuest in Hard Mode, I think it's safe to say that it's nerf time. #GameDev

The Book of Rynn's internal testing for the demo is going well! We're going to be adding more people to the playtest soon with a bunch of fixes and updates! Comment below if you would like to join! #jrpg #nes #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames #thebookofrynn

I made a "Lost and Found" for Dovvee's ReQuest. Unique items that the player sells or throws away end up there and can be purchased. I decided this was required as the player can essentially soft-lock themselves if they got rid of all their most powerful tools. #GameDev #IndieDev

Dovvee's ReQuest has a system in which the game detects potential reasons for a loss in battle and gives tips on how to succeed. For example. If the players defence is really low when losing to later enemies, it will suggest upgrading your armour. This can be disabled in options. #GameDev #IndieDev

You can register inputs to actions when fighting in Dovvee's Request. For example, the Start button can be used to cast a spell and Select for using a charm, without having to open any menus. When you get into the flow, battles can be quite fast paced! 🐉⚔️🐺 #GameDev #IndieDev #GBStudio #GameBoy

I'll admit, I'm getting close to hitting game development burn out again. I've fixed/adjusted 95 different things since starting this full playthrough already. It's been a lot. I know my next playthroughs will have a lot less issues but it's still daunting to think about having to do them at all.

It's too easy. Now it's too hard. Now it's too easy. Now it's too hard. Now it's too easy. Now it's too hard... Trying to get gameplay balance to feel just right is kind of stressful... #GameDev

quickie lowpoly fox creature for today !!

Looking at the "dragons" tag on Steam and almost every listed game has you fighting dragons. I want games where I *be* the dragons!

This image brings me back to better days. Days when my main worry in life was if I had enough stone to build a castle that'd allow me to get into the Imperial Age.

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (1999). This and StarCraft's menu are burned into my memory.

I'm feeling a bit more confident in the fun factor of Dovvee's ReQuest with this playtest. Exploring the world is more enjoyable than I anticipated. I can't remember what I put in each of the 100s of chests so it's a nice surprise to be like "oh sweet! That's where the Fire Rod was!" #GameDev

Progressing through the first of my full playthroughs of Dovvee's ReQuest. My current thought is that Hard Mode needs to be harder. At least for random encounters. The bosses have already been hard! (This optional color palette is also my favourite.) #GameDev #IndieDev #GBStudio #Godot #GameBoy

First full test playthrough of Dovvee's ReQuest is going well. That is to say, I've found a handful of issues that I need to address before my 2nd playthrough. A few grammatical errors and lore contradictions. Some minor bugs. Some caves being too easy, some too hard. All this done on Hard Mode.

With this final piece of music completed, Dovvee's ReQuest is also completed! It's been a long journey. There's only a few steps left until release now! 🐉🎵 #GameDev #GameBoy #Music #8Bit

I think I just made a video game.

"Oops. I didn't mean to place that note there. Wait. It actually sounds better like this..." How I make music for my games in a nutshell.

(Actual Sega Dreamcast capture) Vertex colors are way too powerful...

I'm curious. Do you find a monochromatic game off-putting? I ask because I've been thinking about the potential future DX version again, which would likely have full color. I'm just unsure if I want to commit to it. I guess it depends on the games success. #GameDev #IndieDev #GameBoy #GBStudio

I made a bug finding tool for Dovvee's ReQuest that checks the games source code for "accidents". It found 3 mistakes that I've since corrected so it was worth the effort!
