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.

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…

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.

This isn’t just another 2D game…
It’s a full online world in progress.

It is really starting to come together. Got the flooring working now!! Stairs was a bit of a pain to get it going with the correct direction but it is working! Now i need to start detailing the mountain 😁

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!

The process of creating a task system! Kill monsters and gather items for rewards and experience! Hopefully i can show how this turns out soon!

So i have been experimenting with different engines and also in the process of making my own to see which one fits my needs better.

Well here a preview in godot. Networking is 100% working just some small issues to fix

A lot of work but i love it!

There is something about this place that really speaks to me.

We went from nothing to a whole set of sprites that come together amazing and make a whole game and story.

And an engine that is now starting to function correctly in c++
