Hello everyone! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35693360/f7b835af7354a9f14c86827cd84cefa167eff295.gif[/img] In the course of 24 livestreams, we development a game from scratch, going from having absolutely nothing to having a game released on Steam! In these 24 livestreams (a total of 81 hours of development), there is a LOT of good information for you, so I decided to organize it and list the main topics discussed throughout the development. Kind of a step by step of what we did to develop the entire game. Hopefully it can help you and point you in the right direction!

Some hardcode assembly debugging Nice restructuring of the Audio Mixer (robust and thread-safe) Final gameplay tweaks, improvements and polish Episode 24: Releasing the game on Steam! Relax, Celebrate Plan for what's next (this project and other projects) That's it! I hope you enjoy it!
