Dive into the first chapter of our year-long coding adventure! Mony Dragon and Stormi (Niki Miller) from Dragon Lens Studios have embarked on a challenge to develop every single day of 2024, and we're excited to share our progress with you.

This January, we've made significant strides on 🐾 Puppy Tasks, a .NET MAUI app designed to streamline your daily tasks with a touch of fun, and 🎮 We're Live, a streamer simulator game created during the Global Game Jam that puts you in the shoes of a Twitch streamer navigating the highs and lows of live streaming.

👀 Watch our journey, the challenges we faced, the victories we celebrated, and what's next for us. This dev log is just the beginning!

@monydragon and I can be at it for like 12 hours or so I swear

I'm feeling a lot of imposter syndrome lately, and it's really bothering me. I just want it to go away. I know I'm a junior level dev, but even my senior level dev husband feels imposter syndrome too, so I'm probably going to be plagued with this off and on.

I am the imposter. As @codingcorgi 's husband it's true I do feel imposter syndrome after 20 years of being a developer it happens frequently for me.

I did something nice for myself as a reward for finishing my work on time! I will have to say loops in Java are basically the same as C# which is nice. I made some fluffy chicken mushroom rice! I also put it in my small pumpkin bowl. I am going to work on my app this evening too!

Back into my comfort zone of C # I decided to work on the crafting system for the template. Still a bit unsure about using Unity, but the boss said it was fine so 🤷‍♀️. Also Rider is amazing I highly recommend it over visual studio!

The journey continues!

Developer's Log: Introduction & Unity Template Update

Hello, I'm Mony Dragon, Director of Development at Dragon Lens Studios. Today marks the beginning of my developer log journey, shedding light on my Unity development experiences. As someone deeply passionate about game development, my goal is to inspire and guide fellow and aspiring game developers.

What I'm Up To:

Currently, I’m working on a comprehensive 2D Unity template set to launch on itch.io. My vision? A template that's robust, user-friendly, and serves all 2D development needs. It boasts features like a dialogue system, message system, and saving/loading data persistence, among others. The newest additions? An in-game console and debug menu.

Unity's Pricing Changes:

While Unity has recently announced pricing alterations, I remain committed to the platform, optimistic about its stability and accessibility.

Join The Journey:

Want a sneak peek at the template? Drop me a message, and you might score early access to its beta version. Stay tuned for regular updates, insights, and progress showcases from Dragon Lens Studios and me.Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey.
