2d mmorpg built in c++
A lot to do but a lot of fun!

Have worked with Unity before and it was all good and i am still developing in unity BUT i have been slowly making a switch to c++

Reason is flexibility and real control over everything i want to do.
This is the progress getting sprites in and working on the game!!! Lets goo!!!

So here i am posting what for me is one of the best things i have finished for monsters in the game. Every monster in the game when spawning has a chance to be automatically altered by the server itself making different versions!! It is amazing! Very powerful.

Apologies for the silence!
I’ve been away on a much-needed vacation and had zero cell reception the entire time. That’s why there haven’t been any updates on the game lately. I’m back now, recharged, and ready to share frequent updates again. Thanks for your patience and support! #indiedev #gamedev

Alright!!! Finally done!!! I had a lot of issues getting it to work as it was breaking the screen every time i logged ij the game.

I fixed it and it is working! Blood splatters working also! Tonight i will have a clip!

Exploring the underground with just a torch.
Darkness matters in The Lost Lands.

Sorry for the wait…

Gonna try adding a new monster tonight, and maybe carve out a small cave for it to lurk in…
Let’s see how far we get!

Stay tuned for updates.

Just added some detail work to the mountain but this time, we’re testing it at night.

Lighting plays a big role in setting the mood in The Lost Lands, and with a simple torch… the whole world changes.

Mountains aren’t just background…
Today I’m shaping the landscape to change how the entire world feels.
Let’s see what a bit of detail can do.

The hardest part is getting the sprites in perfectly! And then setting all the flags for them.. but once that is done it all comes together! I am loving this progress!!

Added a sprite randomizer in my mapeditor! So now i can randomize a sprite with the amount of sprites i want and add % chances to them!

This is amazing and it helps a lot!
