Keep chipping away at this every day when I have hours to spare. I've been doing alpha testing with friends and family and I look forward to getting this onto steam for more alpha testing (and hopefully a demo soon after). store.steampowered.com/app/4419010/... #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

A few alpha play test have been really successful. Lots of feedback and I can't thank those who have given feedback enough! I wish I had better screens to share but something is better than nothing. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg #gameplay #testing #alpha #ui

Last night we kicked off some early alpha testing with some friends and family. No crashes, worked through some rough edges but most had a fun time! I'll try to do a bit better with posting progress! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg #gameplay #testing #alpha

Our Steam page is live! 🎉 Oddment Conflux is an indie RPG built on old school MMO mechanics, designed for solo and small group play. No release date yet, just heads down building every day. A wishlist helps more than you know store.steampowered.com/app/4419010/... #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

Build the overpowered. Build the weird. Build the thing that shouldn't work but breaks the game anyway. Oddment Conflux is a single-player and small-group RPG where you multiclass however you want. Ex...

The first screenshot is from from last year and the last ones were from this evening. It's fun looking back on the progress that has happened in just under a year. A few capsules to now seeing some world stuff coming together. More to come but happy with the progress. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

It ain’t much but I realized I had gone for awhile and never built out a way to delete an item get…whoops! Had to fix that. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

Some progress with building vision items and abilities yesterday. Started off pretty crude and then had some refinements. I'm sure it could use some more polish but it's something for right now! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

We are immensely grief stricken by the news of Kevin Lydy's recent passing. He was an integral part of EverQuest over the years. Our deepest condolences and sympathies go out to his family, friends, and the multitude of fans he made along his journey through life. Rest well dearest Adventurer.

Wiring up some new models and having the colors of spells emit through cracks on the body. Emitters looking neat as well! Love how "crappy" drawn black and white images can make cool particles. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

After some quiet months, gearing up to launch a Steam page for Oddment Conflux. Classic MMO systems (not building an MMO). Single-player/small-group focus. Multiclass freedom. More coming soon. Join the Discord to follow along. discord.gg/J7XvrE5Nqq #indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg

Multiclassing means the potential to control multiple minions/pets. This last week I have been working on those systems and making efforts to have a UI that wrangles a lot of those things together. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #solo #multiplayer #rpg

Have been working on getting pets/minions into the game as a proof of concept. I'll be getting them tied to the Bogmancer (and other minion controlling classes) as the weeks continue. Pretty happy so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ii... #indiedev #gamedev #godot #solo #multiplayer #rpg

Was having issues with name and health/mana bars stacking with different camera angles. I ultimately just put them all in their own viewport and it "seems" to be working better. At least they're on in the same billboard now! #indiedev #gamedev #WIP #devlog #IndieJourney #EarlyDev #godot

Took a break from the spell system a bit and spent a little bit of time in some UI elements. I'm not super great with the Godot control nodes (yet) so it was a little bit of learning. #indiedev #gamedev #WIP #devlog #IndieJourney #EarlyDev #godot

It’s been a bit! The solo RPG / multiboxing game is on hold (for now). Still love the idea, but something new is brewing. Building a small team with big ideas. Sharing a very early peek—more as time goes on... #indiedev #gamedev #WIP #devlog #IndieJourney #EarlyDev
