Yo! I'm Ben. I'm a 33 year old software developer by day, and aspiring indie game developer by night (and early morning).
I created this channel to document my attempt at becoming a successful indie game developer while managing the responsibilities of a full-time job and maintaining a fun and healthy lifestyle. I hope to post both technical content about the game development work I'm doing as well as lifestyle-focused content to show how I try to balance everything I do.
I hope that my content here might serve to inspire any others who share my passion for creating and sharing games! Hope you enjoy.
- Ben

Hey folks! I know it's been a quiet month for me, but good news - Range is nearly complete! I have to wrap up some more content for customizable vehicles and environments, but after that it's on to creating my first steam page. Of course, I've been producing a big old devlog to detail the entire journey. Can't wait to share with y'all!

Next video is going to be a fun one! I often spend a few weeks over the holidays working on something new, and this year my goal is to bring last year's holiday project, Range, to Steam! Range started as a simple proof-of-concept for a gamified productivity timer, and I'm really excited to see it through. Keep your eyes peeled for updates!

It's been years since I took another pass at Dauphin's title screen. I've a long way to go on my journey learning pixel art but I'm very happy with this update!
Even though it's been a while since my last real "devlog", I'm happy to report I've made a ton of progress off-camera and am jumping into some exciting new feature work here soon. Excited to share those updates soon - thank you all as always for all the kind support of the channel!

Hey everyone, quick update!
If you've been wondering where I've been for the past few weeks - well, I got married, and have been on my honeymoon! Since I got back I've been working hard on a new devlog and I'm hoping to have it ready by tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled!

Today I worked on the first rough-draft concept art for a very important gameplay system in Dauphin - diving! I'm excited by how it turned out so I couldn't help but share. Let me know what you think! I have a lot of work to do improving my artwork here.

Hey folks! Hope you're all well.
Some of you may have noticed I've started to stream development of Dauphin over at www.twitch.tv/devduckyt. It's been a blast! I'm not sure if I'll be doing this at all yet, but the thought crossed my mind that I could trim up some of my streams and post them as "stream highlights" here on the YT channel. So my question is - should I do that? Let me know!
PS - video later today!

Hey everyone! I need your feedback!
I'm experimenting with a new color palette for Dauphin - mainly for its 64 colors (I've been using 32), but also for its enhanced contrast and saturation. I've done just a fraction of the conversion, and I'd really like to know which one looks better to you! Cast a vote down below in the comments if you'd like to weigh in.
PS - devlog in the works! Thank you all so much for your continued support.
