Interior generation of Potion shops is coming along nicely. I still need to fix up the UV textures on the counter and load in the Shopkeeper. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #NoAI

I rewrite the house/town generation and its so much better now #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #NoAI

Grindalf @grindalf.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Yep 100% I think I'm going to gut the town generation code and try a different approach. See if coming at it from a different angle can fix the issue

Grindalf @grindalf.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Still working on town/house generation. I have shops spawning in and they spawn in correctly about 50% of the time, unfortunately thats progress XD #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #NoAI #rpg

Working on potion shop generation. It's still a bit messy at the moment. I think I need to rewrite the house generation code. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #NoAI #RPG

Well these guys are neutral so they will only attack if attacked first

Was not feeling the flow the last few days. All I've managed to do is make this Anvil(It will be a crafting table) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #NoAI

That was the good thing about console development. They new exactly what their limitations were and pushed it as hard as they could, also AAA team who knew their hardware better than anybody else out there. For pc dev everybody works on the beefiest machine they can and dont care about low specs

This is now now a good excuse for devs to learn how to optimise their games Here is an early pic of my game running on an i5 laptop with 2gb of ram and no graphics card and its keeping 60fps. Its not impossible people have just gotten lazy because working on optimizing the game is not the "fun part"

I had to go on an adventure to test out a new feature this morning, it was a fun trip. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #noai

I've been working on ores and smelting today. So far I've added, Tin Ore, Copper Ore, Iron Ore, Coal, Emerald, Ruby, Tin Ingot, Copper Ingot, Bronze Ingot, and Iron Ingot. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Not quite. Its a heightmap with pillars pulled up to the heightmap positions. Allows for smaller increments in tile heights making nicer terrain but without the same benefits of world editing

Grindalf @grindalf.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Still need to fix a few things(small slime shadows, repulsion doing multi hits) but I'm happy with enemy skill progress. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegame
