The randomizer algorithm fully works already, I just need to add about 20 more locations to the data.

And, as much as this was a MASSIVE side-track, I learned a ton. So I swear I'm just prototyping for Arcanaclysm.

Day/Night cycle for Arcanaclysm! The time of day will affect many things across the world. It allows me to add more variety into a world that the player will explore many times.

I've finished planning the next phase of development for Arcanaclysm, so now I've got a whole new giant list of tasks to excite (and overwhelm) me! #gamedev #indiedev #arcanaclysm

Art for Drifter, the main character of Arcanaclysm! Drifter was a scholar of magic who devoted his career to studying the nature of godhood. Now he is on the hunt--determined to hold the gods accountable for destroying the world.

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
Various pixelart of Drifter. Drifter wears an angular green scholar cloak, with a polished emerald clasp. He wears a matching hat, with a brilliant emerald feather. He keeps his long blonde hair in a braid that falls over his left shoulder.

(WIP) The Great Spellblade of Kaithenea, Battlemage Emperor

Every key item is designed with a memorable location. Since Arcanaclysm is an item randomizer, the player needs to be able to remember where key items were in previous runs.

#gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker #indiedev #fantasy
A huge sword (like big as a tree) embedded in the ground, etched with glowing magenta runes. There are several smaller swords in an arrangement around the Spellblade, and a bush with yellow berries at its base.

Epic fantasy often gives us a lovely expedient (violent) certain triumph over tyranny. In real life, I find it mostly tiresome and murky.

I think this will be reflected in Arcanaclysm (if I can without making it unfun). But the ending will depend on who's in office when I write it...

Added these crab things hiding under rocks! A perfect enemy for a character equipped with a hammer. Breaking its rock will stun it and make it run away.

That's one small part of "lots going on" in fact I will possibly take a few days off soon just to do Arcanaclysm work. XD And today I fear I will draw art instead of actual campaign prep oh no.

For no particular reason, I am making an epic fantasy game about holding self-proclaimed gods accountable for destroying the world. This art I made last night is one of the first scenes I imagined when I started writing Arcanaclysm.

I'm very pleased with "Arcanaclysm" for my current project. But then I started a side project set in the same universe and months later it's still unnamed because I can't think of any name I like even 1/100th as much as the main project.

I like to do design on paper with each draft increasing in detail. Sometimes I use pen so I don't get too perfectionistic. 😅 Here's some of my maps for the first area! 📝

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker #arcanaclysm
A pen sketch of a campsite area. A grid view of the area, and some letters indicating items. A detailed grid view of the area showing the path the player takes through the level.

In a brilliant innovation, #Arcanaclysm now has FIVE (5) item hotkey slots for easy access to all your immediate item needs! This is a 500% increase compared to certain AAA competitors!

A screenshot of a prototype inventory with five equipment slots. (They are bound to ZXCVB, 1-5, and/or L XYB and R). It's quite simple, really. *cough*

I'm making an epic fantasy game called Arcanaclysm! Still early in development. I was doing some writing and character design today so I thought about this.
