Daddu Dev | DreamIn

I want evolving a character to feel like an anime power-up, so in DreamIn your units can transform right in the middle of a battle. I made a video about how it works, and why I’m designing it this way, let me know what you think! #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #dreamin #pixelart youtu.be/l4_I59yoHGQ

DAY 18 - DreamIn - RPG Been playing a lot of FF Resonance over the weekend, it has great VFX! So I tried to make some in the same style, what do you guys think? Good start? #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム制作 #UnrealEngine #techart

DAY 17 - DreamIn - RPG Playing more with intros for my levels, tried having the tile positioning themselves into place. Which one is your favourite? #ShowMeSunday #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム制作 #UnrealEngine

DAY 16 - DreamIn - RPG Made my intro for battles more dynamic! Should the tiles also build themselves up instead of already be in position? #indiedev #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday #ゲーム制作

DAY 15 - DreamIn - RPG Finished my latest unit a few days ago, the Dream of Imprisonment! Which emotions do you think he represents? #indiedev #gamedev #FollowFriday #UnrealEngine5 #ゲーム制作

DAY 14 - DreamIn - RPG More work on my levels! I can place "roads" of all kinds with either shader patterns or texture patterns. Can also animate them, as they're spline based! Which one do you think works best? #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #ゲーム制作 #TurnBasedThursday #techart

DAY 13 - DreamIn - RPG Been playing with water for days by now, I like these different styles but not sure if it's "DreamIn" style. Can you recognise what the "painted" one is inspired from? :D #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #ゲーム制作 #WishlistWesdnesday #techart

DAY 12 - DreamIn - RPG More experiments on the side, this time very early treatment for lava, swamps, ice. Added some bubbles as a way to make them more "alive". Are they too distracting maybe? #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #ゲーム制作 #trailertuesday

DAY 11 - DreamIn - RPG Been experimenting with using the trees building technique in other areas, like VFX. I think it might have some application, what do you guys think? Or maybe just as an intro of a level? #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #ゲーム制作 #techart

DAY 10 - DreamIn - RPG Today I experimented a bit on VFX and how to make cool, readable shapes in a style that fits DreamIn. Still a WIP, also applied to an existing skill. How does it look? :) #ShowMeSunday #gamedev #indiedev #vfx #ゲーム制作

DAY 9 - DreamIn - RPG Trees. I'm very happy with the results, what shape would you like to see? #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday

DAY 8 - DreamIn - RPG Giving another chance to sprites being affected by lights, I think there could be something there. Does it mess with the sprite readibility too much? #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedev #FollowFriday

DAY 7 - DreamIn - RPG Improved my selection tiles and added a bit of animation and pizzazzto them. Can you tell the different actions of the three colours? #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedev #TurnBasedThursday

DAY 6 - DreamIn - RPG Been working on small details to make my levels feel more dreamy and whimsical. I present to you: critters into butterflies (or moths)! 🦋 Which animal should I do next? :D #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedev #WishlistWednesday

DAY 5 - DreamIn - RPG After the animation comes (most of) the VFX! I'm especially curious about the last one, what kind of ability does it look like to you? (I swear I didn't put it last on purpose for retention haha) #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedesign #gamedev

DAY 4 - DreamIn - RPG Worked on implementing the movelist of my latest unit, VFX tonight! Can you tell what kind of unit he is? #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedesign #gamedev

DAY 3 - DreamIn - RPG Small touch, ability names are now displayed at the top, especially useful to understand what an enemy is doing. How the hell do you pick good names for your abilities? :D #indiedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作 #gamedesign #ShowMeSunday

DAY 2 - DreamIn - RPG Reworked the Wrath waterfall. It uses the same assets, just shaders and VFX improvements! 🌊 What else could improve it even more? #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #ゲーム制作

Been working on DreamIn for almost a year! To celebrate, I decided I'm going to show every day one new big or small thing I implemented the day before. Day 1 (year 1) I tried tackling hiding building when they cover abilities. Is it a good solution? #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #pixelart

My game doesn't have classes, each unit comes from emotions that determine their playstyle! Which emotions would you choose? #gamedev #indiedev #TurnBasedThursday #ue5

Can finally give a face to my latest unit! Developing the Dream of Imprisonment Live, come hang out with me! :) www.twitch.tv/daddudev #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #devlog

No art? No problem! Same assets, just shaders and layers 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #trailertuesday #techart

Working on my newest unit today, isn't he the best? www.twitch.tv/daddudev #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #DreamIn #rpg

I want my levels to feel more dream-like, is this helping? :) #gamedev #indiedev #ShowMeSunday #pixelart #DreamIn

Dream of Direction is the perfecty spooky unit for the spookiest of seasons! Will you join her demonic orchestra tonight? #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #pixelart #DreamIn

My units all come with two *distinct* playstyles. This is the Dream of Dissonance, defined by Wrath and Fear emotions! 🔥💀 Which playstyle would you choose? #gamedev #indiedev #FeedbackFriday #dreamin #devlog

Found a game-breaking bug 2 days before release… and absolutely NO IDEA where the mistake is 💀😭 #GameDev #IndieDev #BugFixing #GameDevelopment #Coding #ProgrammerLife #IndieGame #SoftwareDevelopment #Debugging #GameDeveloper #Relatable

Trends can get you started, but making an indie game succeed takes more than that. 🎮 Passion, motivation, and knowing how to sell your game matter too. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGames #SoloDev #GameDevelopment #SteamGames #Gaming

Why do units always evolve in menus? I'm breaking the pattern! #DreamIn #GameDev #indiedev #gamedesign

My friends played my private demo and got a ton of feedback! Time to address it all! www.twitch.tv/daddudev #gamedev #indiedev #DreamIn #ue5 #pixelart #DevLog

In DreamIn, water doesn’t always follow the rules. 🌊 #DreamIn #GameDev #IndieGameDev #DreamWorld #DevLog

My friends are playing my demo, can they survive it? And can I survive their feedback? :D Addressing feedback and improving the demo live! :) www.twitch.tv/daddudev #gamedev #indiedev #rpg #pixelart #ue5

I never call a fix done until I test it in-game. Learned that one the hard way 😅 #DreamIn #GameDev #IndieGameDev #Debugging #DevLog

Demo is basically done, time to break it!! Playtesting DreamIn tonight, balancing fights, fixing whatever explodes, and getting some feedback along the way from the viewers! Come join me! :) www.twitch.tv/daddudev #gamedev #indiedev #rpg #ue5 #pixelart

One last level for the Friends and Family demo, then a lot of balancing, bugfixing and acting on feedback! Come say hello while I work, all feedback welcome! :) www.twitch.tv/daddudev #gamedev #indiedev #rpg #ue5 #pixelart

Whenever I’m stuck, I explain it to Bruce. It sounds ridiculous… but rubber duck debugging actually works. #GameDev #Unity #Coding #IndieDev #livestream #streamer

Friends and Family Demo is getting close, can't wait to see what people think! Would anyone be interested in trying it out and give feedback on it? www.twitch.tv/daddudev #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #pixelart #gamedesign

Every unit in DreamIn is built to play differently. This one can evolve into a summoner or a knockback-focused fighter, without me needing to add a ton of extra systems. Which path would you pick? #DreamIn #GameDev #IndieGame #TacticalRPG #PixelArt #YouTubeShorts

More work towards the first hour of DreamIn! Time to create more levels, more rewards, more balancing. www.twitch.tv/daddudev #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #pixelart #ue5
