Since I'd been working hard at getting back into game dev, I thought it would be fun to go back to my roots five years ago when I first dabbled in it. My goal was to remake my first game, basically a roll-a-ball game with a few a hacked on mechanics and levels, but this time around I would challenge myself (and hopefully avoid tutorial purgatory) by not directly googling how to do anything - in essence, no tutorials besides good old Unity documentation and forums.

I had no idea just what was in store for me and what I thought would only take weeks - took months. Even though it took forever, the whole process was actually really fun and I learned a lot more than I thought I would - a bit of everything from programming, 3d modeling, animation, sound design, optimization, and much more. It might be a bit of a jump, but AI is next on my list!

As for what the game I’ve made actually is/will become, I have no idea! Right now I've got an idea of making some sort of metroidvania since your mobility is pretty limited as sphere and new abilities would really help with traversal, but really I’ll just have to see what happens as I add, remove, and refine different mechanics. Anyways, I really hope you enjoyed watching my first devlog and stick around for the next one!
