Quick Elevated Arcana dev update:
New Skybox, New Map nodes, who dis?
Many QOL improvements set up for the next release. Currently working on procedurally generated expeditions
P.S. Why are Cubemaps so hard?

You ever get so annoyed with constantly recompiling #rust that you implement a pseudo scripting language as a #bevy asset with hot reloading? Maybe just a #gamedev thing.
I think it might actually be turing complete-there's if statements, looping, and variables

"Do game genres tend to use specific colors in their capsules?". 🤔 This was the question on my mind today.
Started with the top 50 games tagged with "Indie" and "Action". What should be the next genre/tag we should look at next?

Bonus Update!
Got the models imported and spawned in game - next step is to associate each metaprogression track with their specific nodes
This vid is 30 upgrade path placeholders
Users will 'pan' the sphere around and the UI will update to reflect the nearest node

Been posting a lot about Elevated Arcana lately without actually telling anyone what the game's about.

Mockup for the new In-Game Hud - might get it done in time for tonight's release
Trying to maximize the 'viewable' portion of the world - but will probably need to re-add pinch-zoom so players can view the whole arena

Hiding the status bar in my mobile game feels like that thing casinos do where there's no windows or clocks in the room - I promise I just need the screen real estate 😭

Red alert 2 was Absolute Cinema - So many cutscenes they had to come up with their own video compression format to fit all of them on the disks. Soundtrack is an absolute banger I still listen to 20+ years later.
It was a specific era of gaming that I greatly enjoyed as a middle schooler
