INDIE GAME DEVLOG - Episode 7: The Journey Isn't Always Easy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- In this indie devlog episode we take a look at the latest state of my first solo game development project, Go See! A Knight's Tail. As of late my gamedev journey has been pretty difficult, but the path to success -- whatever that success might look like -- is never a straight line. There are twists, turns and sometimes brick walls that you have to overcome.
That said, releasing this episode marks a turning point for myself. I have not touched Unreal ever since the passing of Tyrion, my partner's dog companion and main inspiration behind this game. With episode 7 done, the Epic Mega Grant application sent off, and my grief being managable, I look forward to jump back in and continue where I left off.
Thank you so much for your continued support and sticking around through this long downtime. This game will be a very personal story and no matter how long it might be until the next episode, always know that it will come.

Great devlog!, I really admire you doing this project to honour how great of an being Tyrion was.
Thank you so much! He really was amazing
Don't give up man, do it for Tyrion! sincerest condolences.
Thank you!
This project is so cool man, especially the meaning behind it. Good luck with the mega grant!
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Super interesting dev log, very fun watch! Also, BEAUTIFUL animations.
Solid work on this. I'm excited to follow along and play this when it comes out!
Thank you! :) I'm excited for when that day comes as well
i love how neatly laid out your blueprints are 😀👍
I thank my OCD every day lol
Beautiful animation work. I look forward to this!
This was a great devlog. Will definitely be following along as this takes shape.
Thank you so much :)
I like the Art style
Good Doggo!
I am rooting for you so much!
Thank you so much!
Good episode! Love the progress.
Thank you!
Really well done on the devlog, great storytelling, editing, and its really nice seeing the progress on your game so far. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you Poopy! Appreciate how long you've been around on this journey. Means a lot :)
I actually buried my best friend and little sister last week Wednesday. She was the model for the small game I planned on making that was supposed to be a tribute for a friend who passed on earlier. She passed on before she could even see her character model💔. It feels so surreal to know and understand what you're going through. I'm still working through it all, healing and whatnot, but it really encourages me to see you pushing. Maybe I'll find healing too as I try and make the game, I'm not sure yet but I'll get there. Keep going, keep inspiring, keep making🔥🔥 heartfelt condolences brother, we'll get there.
Oh wow. Heartfelt condolences to you as well. I am so sorry to hear that. What a loss, and I can understand how you must feel. Same to you. Keep pushing, keep going. If anything, once you feel ready to get back to it, it would be a way to honor her and pay tribute to her memory and your friend. I wish you all the best on your journey to heal.
@@ouvio thank you✨ means a lot. Initially it was supposed to be a side project but now it might become a passion project when I get back to it. Might end up sticking to the side project idea just so I can get a demo up and running for people to play while I add more, get feedback and polish it up. And I'll say it again, I'm grateful for people like you who keep going and inspiring us to do the same. ✨🔥 Thank you
Looking good.
“I’m still very new to UE” , you are making AAA game, can’t wait to play this game 👏👏👏
Haha, I wouldn't call it triple A, but I take that as a huge compliment. Thank you so much! :)
With two of my fury family members already over the rainbow bridge, I can relate. It's great that this game will be in memory of Tyrion. What a handsome boy! Also, love thew animations on your MC. I too am trying to learn UE for the first time. Subbed to follow your journey!
Thank you so much for the kind words. It's always such a sad thing to see them off. As a kid, I never experienced that part of it, but man, this one was the hardest thing I have ever experienced.
That is awesome! It's exciting when people decide to pick up UE and be creative. Thank you for following my journey, and welcome in :)
First time coming across your channel/game and I got to say its got me hooked straight away! The art style and type of game hits all the right notes but also the sentiment behind it. As someone who has gone through a very similar loss I feel a huge amount of respect for your situation. Love what you're doing and take the time you need for both yourself and the game!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I think this is definitely a subject matter that a lot of people can relate to. It sucks to go through this experience, but our lives are enriched so much by having our pet companions in it.
Great work
MY HEART!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Never subbed so fast in my life
Haha, thank you! I appreciate the energy with which this comment was written :)
That was such a touching devlog. Tyron
Thank you! I'm glad you do
Lovely work dude. I was wondering if you were coming back as I loved your animation so it's nice to see you again.
Sorry to hear about Tyrion
No matter how long it takes, I'll always continue working on this and will try to update you guys, as frequently as I can.
Thank you for the kind words and for sticking around :)
Glad to see the Devlog, very touching video. Your doing well man, you got this.
I know everyone probably says this but wow the visuals are looking soooo damn good. Great work
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Means a lot :)
👏
It's hard to watch this one. I just lost my best friend Captian a couple of weeks ago. Making me cry every time I think of him
It is so hard and such a profound loss. I'm so sorry for what you are going through.
@ouvio your game is also exquisite. It looks really cool. Keep it up. Hope I can have the courage to do something like that.
awesome my tip is too just have 3d movement and lock the y axis as you need and release it when you need. Pretty simple to do same movement as the 3rd person template.
Oh that's not a bad idea! I like that. Haven't thought about just doing that and it would definitely take care of all the stupid issues with the spline tool
@@ouvioyeah it would def help for if you put some hidden items that he has to go in a bush or something that is behind the path! Keep it up man!
Damn you r alive?
Sure am haha.
Nice video, good editing
