Why I Started This Developer VLOG Thingy

So it dawned on me that I have been streaming on TwitchTV for quite some time, and I have been blogging quite often as well (alright maybe not so much recently). However, I haven't done any developer vlogs at all; so why not step out of my comfort zone?

So it dawned on me that I have been streaming on TwitchTV for quite some time, and I have been blogging quite often as well (alright maybe not so much recently). However, I haven't done any developer vlogs at all; so why not step out of my comfort zone?

For starters, it definitely feels quite embarrassing since I haven't actually recorded myself in this manner. As a matter of fact, putting myself in such a vulnerable position is definitely not in my comfort zone.

Thinking back to when I started WhiteSponge, I did tell myself to learn something new everyday. And if it means having to step outside of my comfort zone, it just means that I have to commit and really do it. I did also realize that I haven't talked nor shared enough about how Stellar Stars came about. The design decisions, progress and behind-the-scenes stories are also some of the interesting stories that I think I should share more often.

Trust me when I say that I do not wake up looking like that. Before doing the vlog, I made sure to shave off my beard and goatie. They can grow really fast just within 2 days!

And if you have watched the entire developer vlog, I talked a lot about the recent Rise Of Magic update and some of the new stuff in it. And I might have left out some of the new additions like double jumping and new health bars for bosses.

So what did you think of this 1st developer vlog? I will be making more of these so look forward to them! Be sure to also subscribe to the mailing list so you get updated on when the next developer vlog appears! Cheers!
