Quick combat pass in : 1H+shield, 2H, bow, block/parry/evade, bandaging. Still rough, but far enough along that I can build the rest of the game around it. Feedback welcome — readability / impact / what you'd change first. youtu.be/W1AIY_SPfd0 #MonoGame #gamedev #indiedev #isometric

Thanks! It’s actually a custom 2.5D isometric editor. It supports elevation and multiple floors, so it can look quite 3D!

Updated the Bluesky profile — we left Tiled. Production worlds are authored in the Reforged Editor now (water, coast, creatures…). Short gameplay clips next. #MonoGame #gamedev #indiedev #isometric Built with MonoGame · C#

There are many new things that I will publish today, I'm glad to like it.

Did a full gameplay loop test today. Combat, gathering, inventory, vendors, skills, housing and traversal systems are finally starting to connect together inside the deterministic 2.5D engine. Still early — but it’s getting there. #gamedev #monogame #indiedev

More details from today’s test: * Looting & drag/drop inventory * Equipping gear * Combat with blood decals/spray * Selling items * Skill progression * Mining + ore gathering * Lumberjacking with tree reactions/sawdust * House interior/exterior transitions * Stair traversal & multi-floor movement

Combat + skills + drag & drop + lighting + proper Z-sorting. Still early, but the core systems are coming together. Trying to capture that classic UO(Ultima Online) feeling with a deterministic 2.5D engine. Thread with more details👇 #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday #games

Lighting system: * Dynamic lights (torches, etc) * Inside/outside separation * Light leaking through openings (windows/doors) Still refining edge cases.

ReforgedLands @reforgedengine.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Rendering side: * Z-sorting based on feet position * Wall occlusion working correctly * Multi-floor support No hacks, everything deterministic.

ReforgedLands @reforgedengine.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Drag & drop system is in progress: * Drop items on ground * Move to bag * Equip directly Goal is to keep it simple and responsive, like old-school RPGs.

ReforgedLands @reforgedengine.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Combat is skill-based (Weapon, Anatomy, Healing). * Hit chance & damage centralized * Healing uses bandage timing + interrupts * Skill gain tied to real actions Going for something close to classic UO feel.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! I'll keep sharing progress regularly still a lot to build, but it’s getting there.

Thanks, great question, it actually helped me clarify the Wwise/FMOD side too. Right now our audio is code-driven and event-based inside the engine: gameplay systems emit audio events, and the audio layer resolves playback through MonoGame/XNA SoundEffect with spatial rules and runtime control.

2.5D isometric engine inspired by Ultima Online. I'm still refining my PvP combat system, the lighting system, and adding combat components to objects. I want to create a clear and very dynamic PvP experience. #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday @indiedevbot.bsky.social #games

Haha this is awesome 😄 Honored to be included among MonoGame folks.

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing that. I’ve been digging through the old SoA codebase and already learned quite a bit from it , especially the practical AI state structure and the way pathfinding handles bounded search and fallback to the closest reachable tile under runtime constraints.😀

ReforgedLands @reforgedengine.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

That's awesome. Siege of Avalon is a classic. I'm currently building my own MonoGame isometric engine inspired by Ultima Online style worlds. Curious — how did you handle depth sorting and occlusion back then?

Mass combat stress test in my MonoGame engine. This test produces more spell casts per second than real players can physically do. Still running: • deterministic 60Hz simulation • TickAvg ~9–12 ms • TickDrift = 0 2.5D isometric engine inspired by Ultima Online. #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #solodev

I love isometric games like Ultima Online, Baldur's Gate, and Diablo, and nowadays, most isometric games are fake 2.5D 3D with a 45º camera, but I want to create a true 2.5D perspective engine and recapture the nostalgia of isometric games.

Totally agree. CentrED# lowered the barrier a lot for world creators. UO’s longevity really comes from both creators and toolmakers. I’m developing a modern 2.5D UO-inspired engine, and this kind of work is exactly what motivates me. soon we’ll be publishing demos and gameplay mechanics 😉

I’m developing a 2.5D engine for a UO-like game, and map creation is one of the hardest parts. It’s not just placing houses randomly, it’s about biome transitions, flow, and coherence. This map does that extremely well. Incredible work.

Deterministic isometric Z-sorting. Player, trees, walls, corners and props all competing correctly in depth • No Y/Z draw hacks • No sprite-size tricks • Data-driven sort (FeetIso.Y + semantic layers) What you see is exactly what the map author defined Built on MonoGame ECS-first. #Monogame

I’m building Reforged Engine. A 2.5D isometric game engine focused on: • ECS-first architecture • Deterministic, tick-based simulation (UO-inspired) • Clean separation between logic and rendering • TMX/Tiled workflow with multi-floor worlds Built with MonoGame (C#). More soon.

Using EndeavourOS (Arch-based) for engine development. MonoGame has been solid and predictable on Linux so far.
