Aspiring indie game developer in the margins of my day. Working with Godot to build a solo RPG inspired by classic MMO gameplay.

It has been a couple of months since my last update. Working on spell VFX, squashing bugs, learning some mapping tools, and the list seems to keep going on. Still having a blast.

Did a quick devlog/demo of some NPC spawning and post spawn behavior system. Exploring how I can work with Godot's "tool" feature to expose some things to the editor that players don't get to see but devs get to enjoy!

Been working on systems a bunch recently and finally moved to Trenchbroom to make a tiny map. Small hunting party of 3 friends in an internal test! Got to play around with some textures by @strideh.bsky.social 😃

Still chipping 🔨 away at a big window texture update. Might release a smaller update in the meantime with more misc textures I've been adding here and there.

Was having issues with name and health/mana bars stacking with different camera angles. I ultimately just put them all in their own viewport and it "seems" to be working better. At least they're on in the same billboard now!

Took a break from the spell system a bit and spent a little bit of time in some UI elements. I'm not super great with the Godot control nodes (yet) so it was a little bit of learning.

Been working on the spell system a bit this last couple of weeks and then spent some time getting some objects created to manage classes. It does allow multiclassing already!😀

It’s been a bit! The solo RPG / multiboxing game is on hold (for now). Still love the idea, but something new is brewing. Building a small team with big ideas. Sharing a very early peek—more as time goes on...

Recently picked up a tablet to do some drawing with Kritta (VERY NEW). Grew up on #EverQuest and had some fun tinkering around. I really need to spend a little time playing around with brushes. But... not to bad for a programmer!

An update I posted for my game in the community discord.

Project David is set in a surreal and chaotic universe, a final digital resting place for characters seeking new beginnings. Inspired by classic MMO gameplay, our game will blend traditional and whimsical landscapes into a unique
