  #devlog, #beta

• Devlog #15: Taking my time
  March 02, 2024 by IrønBrandon#devlog

  Working on my bigger games ( Home Grown, Pitch Black, and even Six Hours with a Box ) has shown me that you can't create a ( good ) game without a plan. When I originally made Home Grown for the GoGod... Continue reading

• Devlog #14: Home Grown is coming back!
  May 22, 2023 by IronProject#devlog

• Devlog #13: I am so happy to start planning out the Beta!
  March 04, 2023 by IronProject#devlog

  YES, I have canceled the Alpha! I am never opening the project folder ever again!! Except to, of course, take all the art and sounds to reuse them in the new version. In the last devlog ( wow, it's be... Continue reading
• Devlog #12: Why even try with the current game?
  February 02, 2023 by IronProject#devlog

  I have written out 12 devlogs at this point, yet this game is still not fun or even that interesting. The only part of the game that's unique from most other survival games is limb farming, and it's s... Continue reading
• Devlog #11: Updating the engine
  January 21, 2023 by IronProject#devlog

• Devlog #10: Double digits already? Sheesh.
  January 05, 2023 by IronProject#devlog

  I kind of just had the idea to go back through all of my previous devlogs and add a 0 in the number whenever the digits of the total devlogs increase. Eh, but that's not what I'm here to talk about; I... Continue reading
• Devlog #9: Balancing my games' development
  December 01, 2022 by IronProject#devlog
