I found that the greatest value I get from your videos is the calm vibe. You're inviting me to take my time, relax, and your progress still remains impressive. Lean into this tranquilness, never stop. Thank you.

@Aarimous Год назад

I'd love to see more Dauphin Deep Dives! As a fellow Godoter they will help a ton. I also appreciate your honesty about burn out and time management. I too am struggling to find this sort balance. Congrats on the new role!

@cybeartron Год назад

Hey! Great to see you here! I like your videos and they have helped me a lot! Thanks!

@InstrumentManiac Год назад

Legendary time management skills 👏

@Hovrawl Год назад

I am super excited about your new view structure, the technical dives are always valuable to me and I enjoy them for sure, but having them come out separately to the Dev Log can mean more content between or easier visibility of the tutorial/deep dives. The Dev Logs are still effectively the same vibe which is super important about your content; it is such a great and relaxing time to watch. Keep up the excellent work mate.

@paratroid Год назад

Really like the idea of having separate videos for the deep dive topics! I'm looking at Godot as a potential game engine to use, so seeing from a technical perspective how you've been using it and the challenges you've solved sounds really interesting

@Paryszek Год назад

Very good progress! I appreciate how you introduce as most customization as possible for the player even for simple fishing rot.

@matangoldstien5922 Год назад

Thank you for being straight with us! I am glad you shared the reason for the slower content, and the idea of a “deep dive” series would be awesome! I won’t watch that series since I am here for the game and not for the code, which is why I think it’s brilliant

@TheKelvinPerez Год назад

Keep up the amazing work, i really enjoy these and i'm glad you are finding balance in the middle of a busy schedule and responsibilities 💪

@EpicPineapple12 Год назад

Loving the new format! Congrats on the new role. Keep it up!

@iamkingaimz Год назад

Love the progress of your game thus far. Also love your computer set up. Keep up the great work. Bless. 🙂🙏

@Zettabit7 Год назад

Nice work. Looking forward to the future devlogs and deep dives.

@Grimm-hb7ek Год назад

I really like the new approach to the devlogs, this one really kept me hooked

@boxbrain Год назад

The UI looks really nice! I also love your desk aquarium--that's so cool!

@Krevz Год назад

Great video, the new icons look so much better, good luck in your new role!

@tahaabid5036 Год назад

Great cant wait to play it.

@GamesBySaul Год назад

Fantastic work as always! It's definitely hard balancing devlogs/game Dev when you have a full time job, not to mention a puppy. So this video felt very insightful. Looking forward to more but only when you have the time!

@DonRawling Год назад

Awesome stuff! As a fellow hobbiest gamedev working in tech, it's great to hear you talk about managing your mental health and avoiding burnout. Really looking forward to playing Dauphin one day :)

@NikoRescueZoo Год назад

I actually liked the fact that it was a good mix of the technical and a more general overview of everything going on. For me, it was the combination of both that created a nice flow. But it's not a bad idea for the deep dive also.

@typhereus Год назад

Keep it up man, love the passion for game dev.

@AdmiralBeslan Год назад

Loving hearing you're managing to balance your three jobs(?), amazingly healthy attitude and I love seeing the progress you're making! (In Dauphin and in real life!)

@Syeno Год назад

Your time management is something i find very impressive. I look up to you in that way, and hope to become better with mine.

@tenserebel Год назад

Really love the vibe in your videos..

@johnmarshallyt Год назад

love your desk layout with the fish tank would love to see a desk tour

@niksatan Год назад

Dude, youtube sent me here, your game is just what I was looking for! Subscribed!

@fabian0null28 Год назад

im so super excited to play your game.

@CarlosRodela Год назад

Totally understand that having to reclaim time somewhere, thing! Just started working at a FT gig that is also creative and uses not only my analytical brain but my creative one. That's the part I need to make my weird comedy videos. So yeah, just now slowly getting back to finding that mindspace to do them again. so totally get your sitch and also digging the game - will mention it on my podcast too!

@mercai Год назад

I'm a hobbyist indie dev, too, and am currently thinking about getting the dog. Thank you for talking on the lifestyle (and indiedev time) impact that would have, as well as warning about that "early demonic" part of their lives. Very valuable info!

@Skeffles Год назад

Great progress on the game!

@chadzulu4328 Год назад

"Dauphin deep dive"...punny! Everything is looking great man. Keep crushing it!

@GameDevInAVan Год назад

AeroPress high-five! Personally don’t mind losing the tech sections as I mostly watch at night for relaxation. If I need a tutorial I just search for the specific thing… Keep it up!

@lunkums Год назад

Can't wait to play this game!

@catcactus1234 Год назад

Loving the progress as usual! One thing that would be a relatively small but helpful change would be darkening the text color on the logs. Right now the white-on-tan color could be difficult for people with visual impairments to read.

@samhblackmore Год назад

Was about to say the same thing!

@webredraptors Год назад

Always love seeing progress on this game. By the way, not that you asked, but it would be cool to see the little micro bubbles that form and stick to your diving equipment before quickly disappearing. Adding those to the dive watch UI element while the player character is diving would be a neat little polishing feature.

@zachariahm.kemper7406 Год назад

Here for the techical content, I didn't get notified on yt, because yt doesn't like different content on channels, but will watch soon

@Onkruid Год назад

It feels like watching a baby grow up you know, this Dauphin project growing its wings. A beautiful journey for us to embark upon together with you.

@dmontenegro Год назад

It really is crazy how getting a puppy will drastically change how you manage you’re time! I also just got a new puppy to take care of with my partner and it’s been hard trying to train the pup while juggling work and hobbies.

@user-cx6ec2kp6u Год назад

Man your room is so relaxing, just watching this is like taking a hot bath 🤤

@michaellese3604 Год назад

great video!

@GustafLindqvist Год назад

Damn good coffee! Love my Aero Press. Always nice to have short break to make coffee with the Aero Press setup.

@zachariahm.kemper7406 Год назад

You could have the mini items stay mini on the ground til you hover the mouse other them, I think that would look neat, getting a little tip about x while it pops up a bit larger til you move your mouse off of them

@rey_bastardo Год назад

Huge inspiration! I'm getting started in game development while working at my full time job. Wish me luck!

@rafshkim Год назад

Nice video!

@neozoid7009 Год назад

Awesome

@TobiasSample Год назад

On the subject of Dauphin Deep Dives, it would be good to also have a list of the older videos that also have tutorial-like parts! :0 maybe in the same playlist, maybe a separate one? 🤔 hmm

@yutdevmahmoud5271 Год назад

Dude I stopped watching you for a while but now I am back strong and that beard is awesooome btw 🔥🔥🔥

@heliosgames6665 Год назад

In the Keep / Release Dialog screen it would be nice to see information about the fish? Length, Weight, Type, etc which would help make the decision of keeping and releasing

@geekworthy7938 Год назад

You have been able to continue because you are having fun.

@_stephenhubbard Год назад

Looking jacked bruh. ✊

@dakotadorn6247 Год назад

Switching things up with the aeropress I see! 🤙

@cryptidcrafts666 Год назад

I watch these to see your aquariums and B roll of the shrimp:) Id love to know all the types you keep!

@shoeman256 Год назад

These tend to be very relaxing, so dont change that!

@ItsMrHowTo Год назад

As someone who understands french, hearing Dauphin as Doffin, surprised me haha. In French we would pronounce it as "Doofon" and the n would almost be silent.

@Patrick1985McMahon Год назад

12:58 you don't need a , on the last item of a list. line 12. while you do have the option to not put in ; at the end of lines. it's nice to do as many think it helps with readability as it gives the programmer a subtle hint of the end of an action. This also helps if you by accident delete a new line that would then concatenate two lines together breaking your code. But with a ; you would have an easier time seeing the error and fixing it.

@longdongsilver3267 Год назад

Nothing really to say, but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making and sharing it.

@newosso Год назад

Nice video! One thing: I think the white font in the notes is a bit hard to read, changing it to a darker color might help and it would also look more like it was written with a pencil :)

@theothetorch8016 Год назад

Cool devlog, I like your beard.

@Menji_x Год назад

we got our dogs around the same time. I totally hear you about all the dog stuff. Not a fan when my dog wants to go out at 6am on a weekend. I would never get a puppy again. but a already trained, older dog, sure haha.

@blancfilms Год назад

Awesome beard!

@ProperSnake Год назад

woo!

@deekshithr862 Год назад

Got it in the first half hour

@Maewfof Год назад

bro I watched you 2 years ago, that's crazy.

@michaelrobinson4266 Год назад

Good progress. You may want to change the text color in the notebook for higher contrast. White on a light tan is a little hard to read.

@AlienXtream1 Год назад

you seem to have your work-life balance well in hand. something you might consider is less frequent cinimatic devlogs and perhaps using the "shorts" format. outlining "hey, i made fishing work! here's what it looks like and here's a funny problem i had making it". then once every so often when you have time to do so comfortably making a longer recap devlog like this one to catch people up. that way you are still focusing on the game but not being forced to go "radio silent" for extended periods. just a though on how you could go about it. as always your mental and physical health come above any and all entertainment or productivity. never push yourself to burn out in any job unless peoples lives literally depend on it (e.g in medical fields). we aren't going to die of boredom if you aren't able to post a video for a couple of months :P

@dandymcgee Год назад

Your game looks almost as nice as your beard. Good work on both. :D

@OfficialGhostUk Год назад

Dauphin Deep Dives all day.

@devoiddude Год назад

Came across your channel randomly and I've subbed, really cool video, I'm not familiar with godot engine, what language do you use?

@benixmaximus Год назад

I was wondering what are the dimensions your study room? I like that you can fit a couch and your desk in there

@Rhys510 Год назад

The small icons look great but make the equipment slot show full size so you can see what it looks like on your player

@Leandro-xk3co Год назад

I think the waves would look better with more animated frames, and is the fish could turn to the bait like animal crossing. Keep the good work

@chris_gamedev Год назад

Deep dives will be interesting indeed! On another note, I remember you talked about your monitor before, what model is is that you got and are you still satisfied with it? 😊

@akitaropiquet7580 Год назад

11:45 why did you choose powers of 2 for the values in enum?

@mariorous Год назад

Hi, what is the font you use on the code editor?

@BrandonWingerAir Год назад

I have the same keyboard but a 60% size

@melomancheto2761 Год назад

Love your vlogs man, keep it up. One day I will make a chanel too :P

@MarkIsAsleep Год назад

I have an UX idea for your fishing, what if you make the fish scale down when the player is holding it and only scale it bigger if its in the air (being Catch or release) for illusion that the fish is closer to the camera. Basically make it larger it its "closer to the camera" and smaller is its "far" or "closer to the ground"

@strayferal Год назад

Damn this hexa-lamp! Love it. But if this was my room and this changes the colors I would go mad lol. What do you have along the ghost shrimps? They usually go with a beta fish (unless they get killed lol). Not a game dev here (I am into python backend usually), but Godot seems interesting. By the way as a dev and youtuber, I also hit the youtube burnout and take time away from videos. So I can relate here.

@ezrakornfeld8436 Год назад

Do those sunglasses happen to be polarized? If so, thank you for using my suggestion! If not, day I stopped counting of asking you to add polarized sunglasses.

@ScroofMakesGamesOfficial Год назад

Like the beard bro! 🧔‍♂️

@FullCitris Год назад

What is the game play loop so far?

@MisterValiant Год назад

5:49 Is that a bear on the tree behind?

@sanchezcarlos1986 Год назад

The game looks fantastic! Do you have any course teaching Godot?

@hyuuga82 Год назад

I would like to know your process to learn pixel art, I am struggling with this part of game dev. Love your videos ❤

@7projected Год назад

Godot 4 is swaggy

@DevAmateur Год назад

Where did you bought that black "carpet" that you have below your desk chair?

@farraday1671 Год назад

I think the font in the UI is a little hard to read, I could see that being annoying

@xcoder2205 6 месяцев назад

How is the fishing rod wire connected?

@craino308 Год назад

Please add a link to your desktop cube aquarium to your gear list

@generrosity Год назад

Love your updates 💚 RU-vid algorithm could penalize you if your videos split your community of that matters. My big question is.... How is your desk, lounge, and garage so empty of stuff? 😆 Particular lifestyle choices?

@TurovodSPB Год назад

Do you work on a project on weekends or do you have enough energy after work?

@Thomas_Lo Год назад

Interesting, I happened to just reject a role at work to have enough energy and time to continue working on game dev in private. There were other factors, of course.

@YaroLynx Год назад

What program do you use to create sprites / textures on macos?

@drumbledore9922 Год назад

Aseprite I believe

@adamkonig3753 Год назад

That headphone stand is $180 :0

@Warpgatez Год назад

You should research how Jagex does RuneScape 3s islands and the good / bad feedback. It will make your game highly playable.

@tiger-bee Год назад

I suggest releasing the game in a small group and getting feedback. Maybe on patreon.

@papafhill9126 Год назад

Love following this game. I heard a statistic the other day, was wondering if it was accurate. "Software Engineers code on average 100 lines of code per day, some days doing up to 1,000 lines, and some days only doing about 5 or 10." DevDuck, you do software development, what's your thought on this?

@geschichtenausjohanland2988 Год назад

I am not DevDuck, but with many years experience writing software to me the 100 lines sound about right. The 5 or 10 lines might be the final result of a lot of iteration whereas the 1000 lines might be some easy stuff. However measuring software in lines of code is somewhat questionable. Good code is oftentimes shorter. It might be possible 100 lines perform the same task as 1000 lines.
