I still don't understand why you're pronouncing "dauphin" like that. It should be doh-FAN.

Came from Jack Sather this was such a cool watch!

Thank you! This was super helpful!

The ocean and boat improvements look amazing! I love how you added a bobbing to the boat. As a small suggestion, I found myself really wishing I could see the submerged part of the boat too, to make the boat and the bobbing feel more grounded in the sceen.

This is some amazing work. Hopefully I am not too late to this video to ask a question? If I were to make one of the terrain values BREAKABLE I could add it to another terrain and make BREAKABLE WOOD or BREAKABLE GRASS. I then can attach the terrain detector or make an node that extends from it and put it on my players hitbox. Then I can make the sword swing detect if the object is breakable and what kind of materiel it is then instance the breaking effect and queue_free that specific tile at the collision position? Is this a good idea?

I came looking for a link to the Steam page.

Keep up the good work , bro ! :D

We need notion tutorial from you

Always scary with engine updates...

yo i am so excited for this game and also thank u for the information. I was going to ask how u did the luminous stuff but u told us, so thank you see u next vlog.

Beautiful game! It feels so... wet... I can't explain, but I got some nostalgia from Soul Blazer in the water stages! Congratulations for the work!

This looks awesome! For immersion, a sailboat normally has its anchor coming from the bow not the stern.

Recently stumbled upon sprite stacking technique and I think it would be super useful for smoothing out those boat angles. I'm using it for a game I'm making and it save me a TON of headache not needing to worry about my perspective and not needing to spend hours drawing several sprites for all the directions I want.

Need more Diablo whackers, no story, just gear up and see the damage numbers go WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII on zombies or chosen theme. Dont overthink youre first game, is what i am saying. After your first success minigame, you can afford to hire a group and expand.

Load the whole map and see how much RAM it actually uses. It's probably a lot less than you think. Actually get numbers for your testing, don't just think it might be too much. Also if this is a loading problem are you using the resource loader to do asynchronous loading? Or is the stutter from using the simple load on the game thread? Edit: i posted too soon lol, you did the asynchronous loading.

great video! its been a while since catching your upload & i love to see the production quality differences (= this video is flowing & i love the sailing artwork !

Thanks, having the animation frames selected as tiles is where i went wrong, thanks for clearing that up.

French Polynesian Atolls would be great looking in this game. Sail through a passage into a ring island with reefs and underwater caves. 😊

What if you just have the ocean as one background and load in islands as needed so you don't have as many tiles

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since first I found your videos! I was studying back then, now I am a full time game developer. Thanks for motivating me through the rough times! Also, I’m glad you’re still working on your game. Keep up the good work!

Will there be fossils to discover?

The problem with the lags is the autotiling algorithm. There are also some github issues regarding this. You have to create your own autotiling algorithm to solve the issue. Unfortunaly the set_cells_terrain_connect function is pretty slow

As an indie dev, what's the best way to buy the game so you and/or your team get the biggest cut? I just hate that Valve takes such a big cut of the price tag on Steam.

Wow! This looks like a brilliant upgrade to the sailing system. I really like the new boat and it's awesome seeing the chunks loading so smooth.

IDEA: It would be neat to see our hero's shirt wet to the point of the water level he was standing in, and his shirt would dry, see the color blue of his shirt transition from dark wet to dry normal blue, a few moments etc after the he exits the water. Tint drops of pixel water animation, falling from his wet shirt as he walks on the sand - dripping wet to dry transition would add that extra touch LOL!!! I can see this little bit in my mind playing out LOL! I do have an idea of how much trouble this little touch would be - adding this in. Beautiful game!!! Jesscode's wave sparkle - work also is AMAZING!

This man was several years ahead of his time

Another great devlog from DevDuck! You're an inspiration to new dev loggers like me. Love your work man!

Lovely video as always, really liked the new music too, it sounded new anyways! I think your chunk spawning is how Insomniac's Spiderman did it, they have a GDC talk on how they load Manhattan, I'd recommend it if you haven't already!

The ship animation and sprite looks much better now! But I think it can look better, for example I want to see you try the method that Brandon James Geer do motorcycle top down sprite animation on his new game

I was literally playing Sea of Stars a few months ago and thought of Dauphin once I got the boat. Glad to see that inspo here!

Rich guy but still doing struggle!!

I think you should lock the camera when entering the hut ! Great job !

Sprite stacking could look really cool for the boat

That coral and seaweed looks amazing! the ocean in general is looking a lot more like a finished game.

0:09 What are those goggles there?

Where did you get that incredible desk O_O?!

Nice! This is basically how Google Maps works.

Hey Duck... Suggestion on how to speed up loading of map as you travel. I suspect you're using Tiles? You only need to load Tiles on the edges facing your direction of travel. Faster to shift Tile data in your array, and then load the two edges of Tiles in travel direction. Or, use nine arrays. Center is player's world view. They travel across it and as they near the edge of the array, the game engine pulls needed data from the other arrays to complete the player's view.

Wow, 4:19, I've been looking for a window snapping tool for a while haha

very excited to see your videos, can't wait to play the game. Is there a release date planned yet

The slice of life chunks of the vid makes it very connecting and immersive to watch!

For the tiles, perhaps gave them load one at a time instead of rendering them all on same tick. This is what a lot of maps do to reduce stutter ( google maps, leaflet ect)

Quick suggestion (and not all that important): when is raining you could put some splash effects in the water to make the environment feel more alive. It is a small detail but that was the first thing I noticed, that the weather and the ocean had "no connection". Great devlog, truly inspirational!

really nice progress, but i feel like that boat needs 16 directions drawn as it's so big

A good alternative to asprite is LibreSprite and it is free. I am by no means an expert and I have no clue if there are missing features thought

So is the ocean chunk simply a predefined tilemap just full of the water terrain you've predrawn?

that remixed pokemon soundtrack is relaxing

Thanks again for another great video; inspired me to go back and do a bit more work on my own game.
