Life as a Dev

Hey everyone!

So during this past couple of months in quarantine I've been playing a lot of games and, as many of you know, I've also been working on "Camille's Coffee" as a member of I'm Awake Studio the game studio some friends and I started some time ago. I'm not gonna lie it has been a lot of work since we're just one programmer, one artist and one musician (who is also playing as our game designer) but that's a story for an other day.

I know my blogs don't have a huge audience over the internet, i don't blame you, i'm the one blogging once a year ... like, literally:

but I might start a bit more often since there's a lot I am doing and I'm still willing to do for this year, and since I've got quite a lot of free time now (not really but I do finish faster my things from work being at home than I do in the office so I've got some spare time) I decided to get going making a couple of projects.

I'm just gonna be talking about one here today since... well it is the one that is almost done already heh.

The Stardew Valley: Progress Tracker

Okay, I have to be totally honest, stardew valley was one of the games along with No man's sky and other many that has made my quarantine bearable, and playing with friends and people you enjoy tons spending time with is something that really helps a lot, but in this game's particular case there was something bothering me... I was not able to track all of my progress in game. I know there are some sites that give you your stats and progress but I wanted something that could be easy to look at and still give me all of the information I needed.

So in these case I had the idea along with Ookamijime of making a web app that looked nice and still gave us all the data we wanted about the achievements, our current situation in game, and an easy way to find the things we were missing.

Call us tryhards but we really want to get that bar to reach a 100%. It became a personal business here.

So we started sketching out everything and we started working on it. In my case I did all of the data gathering and Ookamijime was in charge of the site's design and if you ask me I guess we both made a good job with it, here I'll share with you a couple of screenshots of our work in progress.

And well yeah those are just a couple of the sections we have, the site is pretty much done by now but it may need a bit of time until I'm able to upload it since uploading it will mean paying for a domain and hosting, so there is a chance that we may need to play adds on the site in order to be able to maintain it. But well I guess  talking adds and uploads will be a topic for another day but regardless of it this will also be probably a fully free and open source project if anyone wants to help!

hope y'all are as excited as we are for this project, I've been using it to track my progress in the game and so far it has given me all the info I need, but there are still some other things I want to add and some fixes that need to be made, until that's done I'll keep uploading a bit of the progress as it continues.
