I casually chat about things with my games on Discord, so I wanted to do this mini series where I summarize that stuff in a dev vlog so that everyone can see it. This is a bit of an experimental series, so let me know what you think. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev jackitk.itch.io/soulful-slid...

As someone constantly working towards "making a real game" even little stuff like this is incredibly validating.

If you ever do decide to make a video or stream of this game, be sure to go into the category section of the video description and make sure the game is set to Soulful Slide. It should help others find footage related to the game as well.

Work on the Sol Spirit trailer has taken a bit longer than expected. For one, I decided to prioritize finishing work on a new demo for Steam before making any new trailers and that has been taking longer than expected. I'm still hoping to get both done before the end of the month. #solodev #gamedev

That being said, I thank you all for your patience. There has been hurdles to overcome within the development space, but it's all part of the learning process. I'm looking forward to sharing more about my game as soon as it's ready.

Still have a bit of prep work to do before I'm ready to show all the Sol Spirits in action. But I suppose in the mean time, I can show off a "new" thing the fire Sol Spirits can do. #solodev #gamedesign

While I'm still prepping for the next cool thing I want to show, how about I reshare some old game dev posts from before I decided to make a game dev specific BlueSky? #indiedev #solodev

Cool stuff is coming along great. Though I might not get a chance to share it until next week. We'll see how the next few days pan out. Regardless what/when I share, I can confirm development is going well.

Through this together last night (with some last minute edits this morning) so I figured I might as well share it here. jackitk.itch.io/soulful-slid... #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Yes, I'm aware of an issue that has come up with saving data when playing on a web browser. Yes, I'm still kicking myself for doing the thing that I'm pretty certain is the source of the issue. I'll do my best to address the issue as soon as I can. Even if it takes time due to prior arrangements.

Snuck some time in after work to fix some of the bugs and other issues I noticed after uploading yesterday. Like the photo button for the snowman builder now works on web browser. Or how I adjusted the code so that the ice slipping animations will actually play now. #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

After a few minor reworks of certain levels, I think I'll be ready to fully focus on phase 2 with the new levels and similar additions. Though it might be awhile before you all see it in action. 1) I don't know if I'll be able to work much on the game these next couple of weekends. ...

Ironically the only thing I wasn't able to fix tonight was the thing that I thought would be the simplest. At least its just a web specific visual bug. I'm sure it's not that bad, it's just tougher to play test browser specific bugs without just uploading it and seeing what happens.

Phase 1 is nearly complete. Mostly just have to go back and patch up a few bugs I didn't noticed until after I pushed the new update. Speaking of, new update. No new levels yet but everything else I've been working on for the past month is now live. jackitk.itch.io/soulful-slide
