Tonight i'm building out the playtesting world, events and storyline from the beginning. My first game had 3 solar systems. The playtesters are going to have to expand themselves :P #mmo #gamedev join the waitlist? frontiers-online.com

So no big deal, I just logged into my own MMO on my own compiled client on my own dedicated shard. Now I need to update the site, art and sfx and we can start inviting players in to playtest... but if you want to join the waitlist... frontiers-online.com 🚀 #mmo #gameev

I'm building the game in Godot. The server and client will support modding. In fact the game world and storyline is dropped into the server as a mod ;)

My mini mmo is shaping up. got the first "production" shard running live on the server. It's talking to the management software i've built. I can now lock down, update, launch new shards, and release new features from within management. This tooling will be available for others!

I love how the low quality clip of control makes it look like they are playing max payne or something :P

Game dev has boring parts. But there's something to be said about having a working launcher that can pull the latest launcher/client updates from a cdn. #gamedev #indiedev #mmo

My lite mmo will have a public world with storyline and progression. OR you can roll your own world. I plan on releasing the server and tools to build out your own systems if you want to play your own way. #screenshot saturday

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 17/09/2026

So I think i'm going to put this mmo "lite" space game on a domain i've been hoarding. Should be fun to run a little mmo, get some friends involved in testing. Anyone a fan of trade/resource gathering/missions/dealing with pirates?

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 17/09/2026

makes me wonder if I should build tools like this for building out fleets that look like they came from the same shipyard. As always, this looks amazing :)

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 16/09/2026

I see what you did there. I hope you take a long look at yourself... in the mirror, and think about what you've done 🤣

you know it's supposed to have the glass thingy around the flame to stop the flame lighting the book right? :P

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 01/09/2026

I find my self caught between big publisher trying to tell people they don't own their games and wanting to be an indie dev who sells downloads of his own creations one day. I dread to think how hard it is for established studios <cough> to tread that line as well.

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 13/08/2026

wait, it's not the same game 3 times? I've not played any of the remakes mostly because everything I saw made it look like it was a demo

i'm sorry FUNGAL storms. What in the last of us is going to happen next >.<

How long before they stop paying the streamers to stream because they have their AI replacement endlessly generating content?

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 29/07/2026

Id love to get one of these just so I get to disclose the 20 or so GDD's i've started but not finished 🤣

I'm in north Devon. I don't think there are many indie Devs here either 😭

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 19/07/2026

technically I run all the sites I work on via ddev which makes spinning up containers for projects easy. It's quite memory intensive though when you have are working on 3-4 projects at the same time (that are linked)

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 19/07/2026

just change the character to a horseless headman and call it good. that'll be $250k :P

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 07/07/2026

I think I remember learning how to program ceefax/teletext on a BBC Model B at school so if @countbinface.bsky.social could send me one with the relevant software when they win, i'll get right on to setting it all up :P

archive.org/details/vp320 That's the original an attempt at a remake : planets.nu#/home I feel like i'd prefer to roll my own at this point but originally I played with friends at school and we had a floppy disc we shared around with the save file on and took turns

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 21/06/2026

I kind of miss some old games like VGA Planets that I played when I was still in college but they did a reboot on steam and it uses AI for some of the artwork so I guess if I ever wanted to play something like that i'd have to roll my own 🤣

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 17/06/2026

what the fuck are you going to do if you get the job? 🤣

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 17/06/2026

try it for a weekend and see how far you get. It'll be the best 3 months you spend ;)

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 16/06/2026

So what do I do? Never release a game on steam or use AI (to code) and risk a big drop in sales because of the negativity. I don't use AI for art. I don't know what to do

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 16/06/2026

When is AI ok? Ive been using AI since last year, recovering from multiple TIA. If I didn't, I'd last 1-2 hours a day. The AI has helped with recovery and building mental stamina. I've not touched my steam projects because I don't want to tar them with the stigma of using AI.

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 15/06/2026

I don't hate myself enough to play this unfortunately 🤣

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 14/06/2026

reminds me of what happened when I got to play elite on the Archimedes, The game ran like 5x faster than I ever saw it run on my amstrad or on the school BBC's. and it run with solid ships as well. So crazy!

Workshopcraft - Pirateer: High Seas - November 2025 @workshopcraft.com · 14/06/2026

I think it's important to do that for that very reason :)

I love how you casually have the rosetta stone there on your little table 🤣
