Game Development Techniques and Concepts

The video, hosted by Code Monkey, reviews content from November and December 2018. November's videos focused on character movement, dodge roll mechanics, and a graph series used in Battleground Tycoon. December's content included the launch of Parramatta Kune, quick tips, a tooltip series, and modular spreadsheets for character customization. The video concludes with a positive outlook for 2019 and encourages viewer interaction.
