Nice!

I played it for a bit. Seemed like a cool game. Wish I had played it more when there was more of a player base to play with.

Any plans to cover a town from New World (the amazon one) after it shuts down? For some reason I think that would be really funny.

Such a great game. Taught me so much of my history knowledge.

I am on Outlands and they have sanctuary dungeons that are no pvp. Great for beginners like I was a week ago.

Been re-working the code base for the Daggerfall-like.

The vid got me into UO: Outlands, played it before but it did not fully click until now.

Been bogged down in GUI stuff for the Daggerfall-like. Going to pivot into adding settlements and slowly add new GUI elements as needed to space things out.

Shame player cities were never official. Raph Koster ended up doing it in Star Wars Galaxies but it was cut content in UO.

For the last week I have been working an experimental side project. Will show something in the coming week or two. Got a little burned out on the Daggerfall-like but I will return to it in due course.

I have been burned by early access games but it just made me more selective rather than abandoning them altogether.

By default you pick up the whole stack. If you press lctrl while the cursor is carrying a stack you drop one. If you pick up a stack with right click you only pick up half the stack.
010
ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Been working on the inventory today. -items can be put into inventory when gathered -stacks can be halved when right clicked -stacks can be reduced by 1 when held by cursor and LCTRL is pressed I am going to add an auto-sort button next. #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg

Can't believe this took almost a week. First two re-writes took about a week and the third took 3 hours, lol.

ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Finished this iteration of the mountains. I will do some improvements later on. Next I am going to go back to the inventory and work on that for a bit. #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #proceduralgeneration

Been working on mountain generation the last few days. May be a couple more days until I have something showable.

ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Agreed, I am keeping the slots. :D

ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Thanks, glad you like it. I was a bit worried I had overdone it with the number of slots.

Updates to the inventory/equipment screen Also added text in the bottom left showing recent actions. Current it only covers gathered items. In future it will show damage amounts and whether an enemy blocked etc. #indiedev #indiegamedev #FollowFriday #RPG #indiegame

The above screenshot is a bit old and yes it does look quite rough. Below is the current version of the hand. The hand is not always shown only when the player has it raised for gathering items. Thanks for the feedback! :D

Tried light grey instead. I think this looks much better. Thanks for the feedback! :D
same as above screenshot but with light grey buttons instead of red ones

ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Good point on the red. I will try a lighter gold maybe or white.

ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
The character is currently not present in the preview box because I have not made the sprites for characters yet. I will create them at a later date when I add NPCS.
000
ArchHeather @archheather.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
The bottom half will be where the inventory is. Items will be either 1x1, 1x2, 2x1 or 2x2 slots in size. I am not going to add any other sizes to make it easier to manage. I will also add organization buttons to auto sort the inventory.

A very work in progress screenshot of the equip screen for my Daggerfall-like RPG. The dark red slots are for most advised equipment. It is meant to try and make it less overwhelming. The image of the desert to the left will show the characters appearance. #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #rpg
screenshot of equipment screen. top half shows various slots in different rectangular and square shapes for equipment. To the left there is a preview image of the character with their equipped items. In this work in progress screenshot the character is not present just the background showing a desert.

Random terrain screenshots I have taken recently. Been working on the inventory and equip screen. Also been fixing some bugs and making the program more efficient. #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #rpg

My attempt at a first person 3D sprite for a hand idle animation. It is not very good so will attempt again. Does anybody have any tips?
