Old-school RPG. Threat tables, corpse runs, encumbrance, faction that remembers. A sentient sword and a sentient book, both sworn to the god of hate, are teaching you to kill him. Solo dev, UE5 gameabby.itch.io/dark-magik

Rise, little blade. The Hate has looked upon you. Do not make it look away. You wake because I willed it. The Hate has need of a general, and generals are forged, not born... Return to me bloodied, and I will draw out the hatred coiled in you and give it a shape that walks at your side. #gamedev

~40 quests for skills and spells in The Undercroft! Going to be implementing and testing over the next week+ I am sure, but this is an exciting step. This should cover levels 1-10 with fun and important skills, spells and tradeskills! #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #darkmagik

Starting the polish pass on the starter dungeons (The Undercroft) cast, loot, quests etc! Also the character progression regarding spells/skills etc. Exciting stuff! 🔥 #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

I don’t want that type of stuff to be its own camp, lootable items or corpses you didn’t kill, that cycle via day/night cycles so unless I can solve that elegantly it’ll be reset.

It’s more akin to a single player mmo than anything turn based. I’ll toying with the idea of the raided spots having undead at night and raiders during the day.

They will have loot and mobs for sure 🙂

Likely cluster a few, where the delving raiders hit etc

Every room is hand placed, so I’ll decide where they land.

It’s about 8 per theme with a ransacked version for most so approx 16, with room to grow and make more combinations of the individual props like books and bottles etc

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

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
