I've rebranded my Discord a bit to be less specific. Now it's setup so I can have all my game feedback and chat in there. No longer limited to just RelicWar itself. I do have some future planned titles. 🙂

Last night was crazy. I typed over 3600 words to finish out my college assignment. Just so I could allow myself to buy Battlefield 6. Gaming is a great motivator! 🤣

I've been pretty quiet on here lately. I'm still here and still love game dev but I've taken some time to reflect and relax after release. Slowly releasing some updates but life has gotten so busy! 👀

Lil update on my gaming. MechWarrior 5: Clans Ghost Bear has been deleted. I'm sorry but 1980s style bosses have ruined the game for me. Especially when the difficulty of the game in story mode is already crazy. I've gotten unstuck on FF Rebirth but also back to mini game hell. 🫠

31st of July was the planned release date but I've had a few real life complications to resolve, so after careful consideration I'll be pushing the release to early Sept. In the meantime feel free to boost wishlists!

My sofa gaming has turned into a brick wall. Enjoying Final Fantasy Rebirth until a boss with a crazy difficulty spike. Moved onto MechWarrior 5:Clans which I was enjoying until missions on "Story mode" became unbearable with difficulty. What is up with this?! 🤦

Not certain if I will be building more large scale games after release of "RelicWar" but I'm having fun building out some new tech which I can use for my future games. Controller support from the start is a priority this time. 🕹️

Fixing the last bug in my game felt super anti climatic but that's how it feels for long projects - "I guess I'm done now". Did some extra bits to round out the game but that's it folks! 🙌

One benefit of no job, I have more time to finish the game completely ahead of release. ☺️ All Relic effects are now functional, introduced new status effects and enemy counter attacks.
