Finally got Receptionist logic working. A key part of any isekai adventure :D Needs a lot of tidy up but should offer players different playstyle support options :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime #solodev

Currently working on the starting locations and guild receptionist selection, main game finally coming together 😁 Why no give an ol wishlist if you like what you see? 😉 store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/... #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Hey all! The latest build recording is here for my little game. A main menu and loading screen, plus various other small tweaks and a whole lot under the hood! Slowly coming together :D If you like what you see, do wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

All of the purchase blacksmith recipe logic is now in place so players can now purchase recipes for crafting later. If you like what you see, why not give an ol wishlist (page needs a lot of work hehe) :D store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Good progress with the library, allowing the player to acquire new spells/boosts for adventurers. Already thinking it may be a bit OP 😅 If you like what you see, do wishlist on (page needs a lot of work hehe): store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Added a very basic Training Ground to the Guild Management. Allows the player to invest in passive improvements for the Adventurers. Needs improvement. Finally added the game to Coming Soon. Needs a lot of work (and trailer): store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Latest build with loads of little additions. Reconnected my main menu with the tutorial, and made loads more fixes and so on :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Lots of progress this weekend! Added in the Fog of War from the campaign map into the tutorial, added item ranks and showing on UI, fixed lots of little bugs and made big market updates under the hood. A productive weekend :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs

Finally getting around to unifying the market UX with the other panels that pop up so it is consistent. Needs more work but glad to be rid of that completely different formatted screen :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Latest build is now done. Huge refactor under the hood, various minor bug fixes/ux fixes and some additional tutorial tweaks. Feels like progress :D Looking forward to when I can get people to try it out! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #solodev

Before going further, I decided to stop and do a big refactor of 3 classes that were growing far far too large. 3 files are now nearly 40, shoulda done this sooner hehe 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

A good weekend for progress! Lots of UI fixes (button/panel size inconsistencies, etc), extra character popups, movement speed, and reduced build size by atleast 20% by removing old assets unused :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Latest build up and going. New character popups, panel titles, new models/animations and lots of fixes. Nearing the point where I can get some people to try out my build :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Finally getting around to switching the city to properly use the hexes (was circular in nature). Needs polishing and maybe more colour but progress :D #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #tbs #indiegamedev

Latest build with lots of updates. New fort models in, some additional messages from the Elder Lich, a new Expose Secret option and additional player info. Nice ol progress :D Next step, more model updates! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Finally adding in name platers for characters and some actual hex models for the forts. Needs more tidying but I am liking the progress :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Latest recording with more bug fixes and tidy up. Added a final notes screen to the end. Next build is hopefully my last before an art pass is needed :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs

Latest build! Lots of little bug fixes, some better end game states, lots of text updates and minor UI tweaks. Another 1 or 2 builds of enhancements and then an art pass I suspect. Good to see progress! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Added in proper messaging upon completion of the tutorial. Conflicting UI assets being used that I need to address in next art pass but yay for progress :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #solodev

Finally the tutorial end to end is completed :D A lot of fixes / tidy up and other general enhancements before an art pass but really happy to have end to end now! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #TurnBasedThursday

Adventurers are now equipped with an OP sword and the local lord is advised to launch a full attack and retake the fort alongside the adventurers! Tutorial is almost complete :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Keep moving more logic into client side xml files, which should allow me to open the door to content mods and so on in the future, excited to see what weapons/spells/monsters and so on people come up with :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Linked up my equipment details screen with the basic flow for the tutorial. Some of the UI is pretty basic but really happy to see the stats on screen of the sword which was got from completing the dungeon. Tutorial is almost done! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Finally implemented an equipment review screen into the tutorial so the player can review the amazing sword taken from the Dungeon. Need to add controls to let it be equipped next but the Demon Lords undead army is in trouble :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs

The purification scroll is now working and hitting the undead hard within the tutorial :D Next step, the adventurers lead the army in retaking the fort and defeating the remaining undead! :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Adding loads of tooltips for various things to better explain to user. Text itself is placeholder on many but happy to have them :D #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #tbs #anime

Next tutorial turn done! Adventurer party is getting some new recruits to fill up ranks and player is finally unleashing the Purification Scroll upon the Demon Lords Undead army. Significant audio tweaks and fixes too. Tutorial flow is nearly complete :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Updates to textures around the undead fort and finally added the Use Item logic! UX needs work but the Purification Scroll is finally about to be unleashed on these pesky undead in the tutorial :D #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Adding the review and edit party UIs to the tutorial. Keeping a history of former members too, so parties will have a history over time which will be nice :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Latest tutorial video! Adventurers cleared the dungeon and are enroute back, but with losses. Player also recruits some more adventurers in the meantime. Some other bug fixes too. Only 3 turns left to do in the tutorial! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #tbs #anime

Seems our adventurers are in for a bit of heartbreak on the final floor of the tutorial Dungeon with 2 party losses. As Guildmaster the player will need to be careful when sending parties out and ensuring they are ready! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Latest tutorial turn is now done! Final floor is completed, Tavern is built and Doctor is hired, along with other changes. Only 4 turns remaining in the tutorial! Time for the Adventurers to show the Demon Lord's Generals a thing or two #TurnBasedThursday #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs #anime

Preparing for the Adventurer party return from the dungeon. Building a tavern for them to eat/drink and hiring a doctor for general well being. Tutorial is progressing! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Tutorial finally has the adventurers reaching the end of the dungeon :D Now to add proper loot and maybe a bit more drama to the final floor. The life of an adventurer is not always pleasant after all. Good ol progress though! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Latest tutorial turn is now working! Adventurers have entered the final floor of the dungeon, a royal baby is born, some bugs are fixed and various other tweaks. Stage is getting set for the adventurers to aid the armies in retaking the final fort from those undead! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Got my inventory properly tracking items usable against locations now. Seems I can now target the Demon Lords undead army with the Purification Scroll in the tutorial! :D #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #tbs # anime

Fixed a weird bug in my population controller which inadvertently made very elderly people immortal and immune to all diseases and poison 😅. Significant updates to logic around population and graveyards! A lot more stable :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Latest tutorial build :) Fixed various bugs, adventurers completed the first dungeon floor, graveyards added, lost fort was retaken and more. A busy day in the life of the Guildmaster! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #tbs #anime

Added support for a graveyard tile. As populations grow old or die in battles, the numbers increase and so does graves present in the tile. Very relevant for the Elder Lich, a Demon Lord general who wants to build armies of undead! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Market is now reducing stock upon purchase, locking out Out of Stock items and spending player gold upon purchase. Slowly coming together :D A lot still to do with UI but good progress. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Adventurers have completed the first floor of the dungeon, a royal wedding the Dark Guild did not attend and a very costly battle for the local lord (the elder lich must love this). An eventful tutorial turn! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Updating the market UI (not done hehe), adventurers are now in the dungeon and the goddess and elder lich are now more interactive in the tutorial. A productive morning :D #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Added in logic for handling the market (potions, scrolls, crafting materials). Stock control appears to be working with my clunky UI. As the player opens more guilds and stores, the market options should be nice and big :D #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #TurnBasedThursday #tbs #anime

Next turn is now active in tutorial! Adventurers entered the dungeon, a slave trader found in the royal court (and executed), a royal pregnancy and royal wedding announced too. A busy ol turn with events :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs #anime

Latest tutorial turn working. Adventurers arrived at the dungeon, the dark guild has bumped off a member of royalty and the mercenaries you hired to soften up the undead have raided. A busy day in the life of the Guildmaster! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs #anime

Needed a fair ol refactor to let the Adventurer Party work with the nav mesh but off they go! Now that they have arrived, let the dungeon delving begin! :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #anime #tbs

Realised I had a bit of a god class developing so spent a good while refactoring and applying some good old coding design patterns. That 1 file is now broken into 21 so far, all implementing a tidy interface and a factory. Saves some future headaches I suspect :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Using a placeholder model but when I click explore, off they go to the Dungeon at turn end, huzzah! Now to try nab some nice loot to fight off the Demon Lord! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #solodev #TurnBasedThursday #tbs #anime

My latest progress with the adventurer recruitment, party forming, dungeon clicking, click safety checks and tutorial advice in place. Happy with the progress! :) #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #tbs #anime

Rather simple but the dungeon is clickable and the available adventurer parties are now selectable and able to be sent in to explore :D Need to tidy it up and move on to models moving on the world map next, progress! :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #indiegame #tbs
