10 years! An entire decade of gamedev and devlogs! To celebrate I've made a video looking back at the whole journey, from the very first idea I had for a game, to my first commercial release, and becoming a full-time indie game developer: youtu.be/FStOT4pP2tc #gamedev

Sorry I've been gone so long without any updates; health worries and other personal issues took over my life for a while and I ended up taking a rather long break from game development. I'm back to work on the game now though and I hope to get back to making devlogs sooon (:

Back working on the game again! My operation last week went well and the subsequent lab results were all good too. Feeling happy and healthy again ^^

I'm cancer free! They finished testing my lymph nodes and the area around the tumor and they were all clear :) Still a long road to recovery though, not going to be able to speak or eat properly for the next month and my neck is crazy swollen, but the end is in sight!

Sorry I've been gone for so long, I've been struggling with some health issues in the last months. I'm having another small operation next week, and if all goes to plan then that should be all I need. Hoping to get back to making content soon!

Rounded off the top edges of the terrain too. It's looking silky smooth now! #gamedev

A couple of new low-poly buildings for the game :) Development has been going really well these last few weeks - lots of progress and there'll be a new devlog video coming soon! #gamedev #lowpoly

I've been getting back to game dev in the last week and started filming again for the devlog videos - hoping to finally get a bit of consistency going with the development of this game now that I'm done with all my operations :)

Finished the activity system - the town is so much more alive now! The townspeople are now going to restaurants, sitting outside at cafes, exercising at the gym, etc. Devlog video on its way in the next couple of days! #gamedev

I've started my new project - making a new city-building game! I'm going to be documenting every step of the process so you can follow the project as it evolves over the coming weeks and months (and years?). You can watch the first devlog video here: youtu.be/pib4IWX_9RM

Tomorrow it will be exactly 10 years since I uploaded my first devlog video to Youtube! To celebrate I've been making a video looking back at the journey over the last decade, which will be uploaded tomorrow evening.

Got a bit stuck in development hell for a while, redid the entity/pathfinding system a few times trying to find the perfect way to handle all the little edge-cases. Probably overthought it a bit! Anyway, all working very nicely now so I'm finally moving on to vehicles/traffic :)

Look what just arrived! I started making videos in 2013, hoping a few people might be interested in my hobby of making games. I never thought I'd be holding a silver play button and doing this for a living! It's been a crazy journey so far - thank you all for making it possible!
