Been a minute since I’ve posted. I’ve been hard at work finishing core systems and reworking combat abilities. I moved from rotating abilities with mobility skills to a classic RPGstyle system where a single button executes abilities more cleanly. #indiedev #solodev #godot #arpg #pixelart #upscale

Experimented with Elite Enemies. Elite enemies are much tougher than other enemies in the locale and might require the player to return at a further point in the game to defeat but will give items for higher tier crafting recipes. #ScreenshotSaturday #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #ActionRPG #RPG

With finishing the gem upgrade system, I am now making more play test content - starting with making these shrub guys as floor 1 enemies. #StarspireHunters #ARPG #pixelart #monsters #platformer #action #maplestory #runescape #godot #indiedev #solodev #prototyping #gamedev #mystical #aseprite #demo

Gem Sockets Pt2: Gem Mounting works. You will be able to configure gems to your preference. You may reset sockets at will, but gems are discarded. Gem configurations will transfer between weapon upgrades. #ARPG #crafting #incremental #godot #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #swordcrafting #RPG #gamedev

An extremely early preview of one of the last major systems in #StarspireHunters: Gem Stones. Gem Stones can be mounted to weapons via sockets - giving them a slight edge on the battlefield. #Indiedev #pixelart #gems #godot #maplestory #runescape #gamedev #solodev #RPG #ARPG #Crafting

Spent the week building the 'upgrade tree' for the Warrior class. It is a simple tech tree where upgrades are straight forward, but minor customization can still be achieved. Tomorrow, I can focus on building more nodes and create a test tree. #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #ARPG #Incremental #GameDev

An example of what the current crafting-expedition loop could be! #ARPG #pixelart #godot #solodev #indiedev #maplestory #cookingsystem #craftingsystem #starspirehunters #Incrmental #platformer #roguelike #osrs #runscape #godot4 #gamedev

Have been working on reworking the crafting stations in Starspire Hunters. The philosophy behind my game is streamlining, and minimal explanation - and this rework is attempting to fulfill this. #ARPG #gamedev #indiedev #WIP #incremental #Godot4.6 #Godot

Binder’s Tower lives on as Starspire Hunters; a unique ARPG + Incremental blend. This is a preview of the Warrior (1 of 2 classes), focused on tanking and crowd control! Looking for 1–2 playtesters who enjoy giving strong, thoughtful feedback. Reach out! #indiedev #ARPG #gamedev #incremental

Hello. It's been a while since I've posted here. A lot has changed since then.. and I believe that this project might have got a second chance. More on this later. #incremental #idler #indiedev #gamedev #godot #ARPG #maplestory #runescape #binderstower #rebirth #platformer

Finally got around to implementing an official combat loop before taking a quick detour to do Mech Jam VI. Also, I have my first enemies implemented - also you can air attack now :-) #indiedev #gamedev #PixelOver #Godot #Godot4 #ARPG #maplestory #runescape #grindy #lifesim #videogame

Got some stuff that I think is pretty cool coming down the pipeline.. more to show off later. #gamedev #eliteenemy #ARPG #indiedev #prototyping #testing #Godot #Godot4.3 #Runescape #Maplestory #PixelArt #Overpixel

Polishing the crafting system in Binder's Tower—one of the first systems I built. It's in a better state now, but still needs work. Next up: refining enemies and pushing toward a prototype demo. #crafting #indiedev #SoloDev #Maplestory #Runescape #Prototyping

This week, I worked on implementing an item hot bar and extending drag n drop system to the inventory menu. #solodev #indiedev #ARPG #Maplestory #Runescape #Lifesim

Spent the last month building a new archetype and reworking the whole system! You’ll now equip a swappable secondary class (inspired by Skul) to create synergies—since you only get 4 active abilities (intended for comfortable controller play). #solodev #indiedev #binderstower #maplestory #runescape

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been working hard implementing game play for another archetype. I might have also gone a bit overboard, and committed a bit of scope creep - it will be worth it, I swear! Video update soon.. #indiedev #solodev #maplestory #runescape #lifesim #dualclasses

I'm torn between having a maplestory style ability system where abilities are available after unlocking a class vs a WoW/Guildwars system where the player purchases abilities from a trainer.. What would you prefer? More "realism" or convenience? #IndieDev #GameDev #Binder'sTower #Maplestory

Finished the basis of questing in Binder's Tower. There are four kinds of quests - main line quests, side quests, town tasks, and den beast hunts. To progress in Binder's Tower, you will complete Main Line tasks - however, the rest is optional! #BindersTower #ARPG #SoloDev #GameDev #Maplestory

Finished the basic functionality for the abilities system of Binder's Tower. The abilities system works in the vein of classic MMOs; however, the number of abilities that you can mount at any given time is based on the number of sockets on your equipped weapon! #IndieGame #ARPG #Oldschool #Maple
