For the last several months it's been stress after stress, getting kicked back into a pit. So obviously I haven't been able to be creative and or passionate about my goals as of late. Until then, I'm surviving day by day until I finally leave the pit in the past.

Seems like it needs more tbh, but still a work in progress, nowhere close to being a professional at what I aspire to do and be. but I like the concept I made thus far.

GameDev Update!

Due to resource intensities in terms of open world, I have discovered a concept that isn't new and doesn't eliminate exploration. So new mechanics are underway.

Echoes of the Seven Basic To Do List:

-Foliate World "5/100 Complete"
-Make Towns and Villages
-Retexture Enemy Sprites
-Make Battle Scenes dependent on Dungeon type
-Implement Chests/Loot
-Redo GUI and implement New GUI
-Day and Night Cycle
-NPC's and interactions.

Booted up my old HP pavilion, no where near a gaming PC, but good enough to continue working on Echoes of The Seven. Progress I would estimate is 20% done. Would increase more so if code didn't decide to break.

It's a sad day when your gaming PC after 6 hrs has decided to R.I.P. But fear not fellow mortals, the SSD is saved, but will take maybe a week or two to get back into gaming. But Game Making is still in the works on my Laptop. As soon as I get an adapter to hook it up.

Alpha HUD, includes Current Moon Phase on the Top Left, Time on Top Middle, Mini Map on Top Right, Health and Stamina/Magic on Bottom Left and Right, and then lastly Future Icons for Middle Bottom Center.

If I do end up returning, expect this PNGTuber drawn by the wonderful @merciazraelvt.bsky.social

Debating on making a return to streaming, it's been 2 yrs since I last streamed on Twitch. Other than that, I've worked on Overlays if I do end up returning.

Other than the transition between rooms in need of change, figured out how to make the character glow. ;)

With that being said, plotting out ideas and formulating what all I want to release for the DEMO. Which includes:

I. Mechanics
A. Dialogue
B. Player Movement
C. Turn-Based Combat
D. Item Use
E. Special Dungeon Mechanic
F. NPC's
G. Quests

A hint of what the story is about.

Thx to a good friend @ryangamez.live, he has helped fund the project for my game, no clear date as to when the DEMO will be released. Will soon be updating progress in the following week(s) to all my main socials. Trying to be better at releasing updates.

With the use of Structure Blocks, I have included the generated folder, just copy and paste into your world folder, if already present, just copy and past the .nbt into that folder

For the Custom Texture Packs with Models I posted, I neglected to remember that Bundles are a thing now in MC. So will be switching to NBT from now on. Again. These packs will only work in Single Player unless you're on a server where an owner or mod has permissions to do this for you.

Introducing Vanilla Mob Plushies, inspired by Nog's Menagerie on SketchFab. Wearable on your head as well.

I have created a poll on my YT Channel. Whatever option wins will become the permanent name for Game/Novel Series.

This is for any HermitCraft Fan who would enjoy having their favorite Hermit in your single player world, then this is the Texture Pack for you. A .txt file is attached inside the .zip for the command and all available Hermits.
