  • Dev #8 – Back to It / Entities

    Hello everyone. I hope you’re doing well. I took a small hiatus due to some things that came up, but I’m back to development. Let’s talk about entities. Come to think of it, you have never seen anything related to entities except the player placeholder. Let’s start at the beginning. The Importance System Most games…

  • Dev #5 – Why not Engine X?

    Hello everyone. I hope you’re doing well today. It’s been a while since I last posted. I won’t lie, it’s mainly because I bought Helldivers 2 a few days ago and I’ve been addicted.

    Hello everyone. I hope you’re having a great day. Today, I wanted to show the progress I currently have on the game. Now, I’ll be honest, the game was not originally going to be about Eseria. It was instead going to be about – well, maybe I’ll keep that in my pocket for later. I…
