- Welcome to another devlog for Dauphin! In this episode I spend a week touching up my object placement system - specifically, allowing for the removal of objects as well as saving changes that the player has made to islands they've discovered. Hope you enjoy!

Good to see the game keep progressing
Thanks for following along!
Bro makes more progress in a day than me in a year
Haha quite often my most productive days are preceded by my least productive ones...
Yeah, in 100 years we will have a demo
same, I'm two years into my project and I barely have anything
@@ukyo6195shut up. he owes you nothing
Fr but it kinda inspires me to continue working
Quick thought I had about the tent for the placing it: make the placing zone extend forward enough so the player is able to walk in front of the tent to use it, so you don't accidentally place an unuseable tent shoved up against a tree or rock or something.
Great idea! I think I'll want that extra space there for a spawn point for the player as well when the game is loaded up.
RUN RUN, it's DevDuck again!
Watching you motivates me. I've been working on an RPG final fantasy/Link to the Past game for 3 years so far. I'll have month long sessions where I work on the game religiously, then don't touch it for another month or so. Every time you come out with a video, I watch it, then start working on my game again thus breaking the cycle. Thank you, and good luck!
By far the best devlogs around. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, will do!
An easy way to make equipment visible Is to layer your character and make an entire animation where they are walking in all directions and swinging pickaxe ect then erase all traces of the character. This leaves behind only a floating pickaxe. The same can be said for all your armor pieces and so on. Layers>Character>Head>Chest>Legs>Item in an order like that will allow you to swap out and make visible all the players equipment.
Great work as always! How you handle dropping/breaking items is a really nice solution to use a forced loot table!
Glad to see your saving works too that's always a hurdle...one I've not yet crossed properly and am scared to do so!
You COULD generate the islands using cellular automata for realistic and random terrain. Then you could generate the contents of the island with Randomx,y, test if on water, test if on another object and then add to goal amount and loop until amount is reached per object type.
looking good, cool to see the progress over time! I also have to admit these videos re-kindled an interest with aquatic life for me and I ended up getting a 15 gal planted aquarium :D
That's awesome! What have you decided to stock it with?
@@DevDuck so far just some dwarf plecos and neon tetras, nothing too difficult 😁
I lost track of your videos several months ago and today finding this video makes me want to play your game even more! It looks like an even more complex and deep world.
I love your project keep going I can't wait for the release of the game!
So cool that we have new devlog. This series motivates my devlog series so thanks
I really liked the way you implemented Inventory and Toolbar. Can't wait to get my hands on the game. All the best bro!
I have been following your journey for about 2 years now, and you've inspired me to also go and follow my game dev dreams :D
You are awesome ^^
While watching this i finally understood how to solve the saving system problem i was having myself, Thank you!
I love being able to go on youtube and see there is a new devlog of Dauphin, love the content! Keep up the good work!
When I watched your first video about your game a few years back you inspired me to learn game development and a few years later I am now making a underwater exploration game in 3D
These videos are excellent, the use of loot table for picking up items is genius
This is really nice work! I love that you can place a tent down to use a save point. I look forward to seeing more progress :)
Really awesome stuff! I'm happy to see your videos popping up in my feed again.
love your work man, keep it up!
Great to see the channel grow, it'll be a great game!
You nailed that object placement feature!
Wowwww! New upload ^^
Wow that is nice, great work!!!
I haven’t watched one of these video since you made the research log and wow, you made a lot of progress. Nice job!
As a lifelong marine biology enthusiast and coder - I love your devlogs!
You're making great progress! Placeable items is a huge update!
Fantastic progress! It sounds boring to some but it is really crucial. Keep up the good work!
Awesome vlog, ty for making it! where is your dog though? I miss him :(
These videos are so nice and chill 👍
if the tent's entrance is at the front, i'd add a margin to its placement collision check, so there's enough space for the player to walk in front of tent.
Quick feedback on the tent, Just a couple ideas to innovate it.
I think if you're going to have a tent it's either of these 3 options:
1. A tent on every island the player unlocks automatically
2. Some sort of a puzzle/event/activity to unlock a tent on an island
3. Having so crafting a tent requires some sort of a unique crafting material
The explanation for it is I think it would be a bit weird to have this some sort of a meta so when you unlock an island you have to remember to have (ie. x3 wood x1 cloth) and then craft it.
I Imagined a situation where a player unlocks an island and for some reason didn't put a tent on it.
Other than that I like the game progress! :)
Your devlogs are always very enjoyable. It's amazing how you can keep yourself motivated on a single project for so many years. What's the trick? :)
Good progress
The progress is brilliant.
I've decided to use a coding style in GDScript where I never put an empty line in a function. You may ask "Doesn't that make the code very compact and hard to tell the different parts of it apart?" Well, yes, and that's the point of it. It incentivizes me to remember to split functions into smaller helper functions, and it makes it easy to skim through the file and find the start of each function.
What software is he using to keep track of the development? 1:19
EDIT: Found it, it's called Notion.
Keep on chugging
Pregnant Neocardinia!
Exciting!! Do you have a rough sense of when the game will be playable?
I am really surprised how you keep the quality of videos man
It would be cool to build just the campfire but off, and having to use something like flint and steel to actually light it up
Love it!
with camp sites, maybe you could upgrade them and with each upgrade you unlocked the ability to fast travel, rest, save etc. Just a idea.
Been following for a long time and love your videos! I have one random question. I believe that is a Peugeot SUV in your garage, I follow Doug DeMuro and I believe he said Peugeot isn’t selling their cars in US. Did you import it or did I mix some things up? Anyway, thank you for consistently amazing content!
We have the basically the same garage gym lol
In my opinion it should be a wrench or something else, a pickaxe reminds me more of mining stone and ores
BaseStage could simply be Stage!!! The word base adds nothing that stage doesn’t explain!
That's a very good point, I might need to change that...
Duplication glitch. The items were on the ground and in the inventory after breaking them and restarting. Good progress, though. I enjoy watching the devlogs
Those are test items that I currently have set to always spawn there. Working on the save system often requires me to delete my save, so nice to have those nearby to grab and test!
glad that the game is getting advancement regularly. but, why isn't dani uploading? i have no clue; do you know something? is it just a long break or has he run out of content? Anyways, love your work!
Great ❤
Its amazing
I love your videos! I do wonder, what program do you use to keep track of your tasks? Because it looks like Anytype, the program I use.
I don't know if you've already thought of this element, but... wouldn't it be annoying to "kill" your tent with your pickaxe accidentally? Like, miss-click and boom, tent is gone or try to mine that obnoxious rock close to camp and... oops, tent is dead? A few quick hits could be interesting (as in, pickable items have "life" so one accident will not annoy you... but that idea is debatable too, because it depends on which is more annoying to players : 1. One-hit kill tent with miss-clicks or 2. having to multi-click to remove an element?)
Just leaving you with food for thoughts 🤔
Amazing video again! Can you share your mouse pad link?
That Kanban board looks slick. What are you using? Great devlog!
Great progress! Do you have plans for tracking corruption and what happens when it hits an item like the tent?
Can you do a deeper dive into how the building system works
How much work on your personal project do you do each morning before your job work? I really wanna get productive in the morning but I also have a 45m+ commute each way :(
Love what you did with the game, but why name it Dauphin? Like wb Dolfinn and the characters name to be Finn lmao
I notice when you save and quit and re-enter the scene the character location isn't saved. What happens when you place down the tent or another object into the location where the characters spawns in? or does it block that location from objects being placed?
shees i got it recommended 1 minute after release
About 3.5 years of development now! Do you think you'll finish it up soon?
The wallpaper with the leafes is amazing, does anyone know where to find it?
Hey man, I'm following your videos since the beginning of dauphin, I saw the transition to Godot, and after so much time, what do about the transition, It was valid?
What software do you use for your project notes? It looks very neat :)
I think he uses Milanote? Correct me tho if I am wrong
@@FrisersLegendyes milanote
@@FrisersLegend Doesn't really look like Milanote's UI at all though? So I don't think you're right unfortunately.
what are you using for your task board. Would like to be able to use something like that to keep track of things that need to be done and that are done.
Godot 2D course notes in Notion? Did I miss an announcement?
What software are you using to manager your tasks?
What app do you use to keep track of your tasks?
So this is like a Stardew clone but with water?
Is this monitor a tv? Somebody knows the model? ty
Did becoming such a well-rounded person require tons of discipline or does it just come naturally.
It requires a lot of descipline
When are you hoping to release? 😀
Will you add modding system?
My pc blow up. Five days without workings in my game . I'm losing mind!!!!. Cof cof sorry .
👍
imagine using a mac 💀
