The yellow circles are the mob spawners in the starter forest just a little more coverage needed! These account for the random forest spawns not related to specific camps. They spawn X amount of mobs with in Y radius and the mobs wander with in. #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

forest mob spawners for the forest fodder.

AoE Pull 😬 I out level the dungeon, so things are melting a bit, hah! But I still almost got trucked on the pull, thanks for the heal coming in, Grimm! Still some obvious bugs, but its fun getting combat testing going! #unrealengine #blender #darkmagik #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegame

2100+ actors placed in the starting dungeon so far! All hand placed by me! 🫠 I still have some places to spruce up with props, the friendly camp to finish populating and whatever comes up in testing, so expecting more yet! #unrealengine #darkmagik #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

You can instruct your companions to stay, so you can pull to them. There are a few companion settings letting you handle different types of encounters and play styles! #unrealengine #darkmagik #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame

Another combat encounter! Showcasing some fire spells and loot! I think the new fire for the torches/camp fire need to be a bit brighter, and the enemy is using a place holder mesh with no texture, but looking okay I think! #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

A little walk around a room im populating! Ultimately it will be part of the starter dungeon, and you wont be so welcome 😈 Some debugging left on the torch lights and a fog balance are still coming, but I like it so far! #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

A few things left on the game world landscape! The mountains look better, per zone relief so it feels natural. Just a few mountains to fatten and some "can view over" rim mountain spots to check, then PCG! Spells are coming along too! Video soon! #unrealengine #blender #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

When you realize your game map might be ambitiously large and the only way to solve it is to build it 🫠 #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #unrealengine #blender

Textured world map with topography! Used a blender made height and weight map imported into UE. Now to lock down the PCG for each zone! This means I can build the game I wanted!! Proof concept-ed 🥳 #blender #unrealengine #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #darkmagik

Really digging into Niagra in UE5 for some spell effects! I've decided to attempt to do the full art load myself and to only rely on the fab store when I cant produce something. Video's of the first spell effect: Fire Ball, coming soon! #unrealengine #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I didn’t want to be constrained by what I could find for assets in various stores, even if high quality, so I’ve decided to pivot to my own landscape art as well. I realized I wanted zone art I’d have trouble finding soooo blender here we come! More soon! #blender #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
