I started sending out preview keys to reviewers, YouTubers, and streamers today for Din's Champion so hopefully we'll start getting a bit more coverage and hype going!

Obviously marketing is important, but it is hard for my programmer brain to not think that for every hour of marketing I do, that's an hour that I'm not improving the game. #indiegamedev

I got some view movement smoothing working this week for Din's Champion that I think I'm finally happy with. It's a bit tricky to get something smooth and feels responsive at the same time.

Last weekend I emailed a bunch of people about previews. This weekend we play tested Din's Champion a lot. This weekend felt SO much more productive and satisfying than last weekend!

I added 3 optimizations in a row that actually provided noticeable fps improvements to Din's Champion today. I got a little over 30% increase in my test case, which I'm pretty happy with.

My to-do list to finish before Early Access for Din's Champion is down to 182 lines. I still have a lot to work on, but that's much better than 395 last Friday.
