Nebulis Entity

January 20, 2025 / / 0 Comments

I know I haven’t posted recently, but progress has not stopped. Well, kind of. The RPG game that I’ve posted about in the past has been put on hold, and I switched gears over these last 3 months to a game with a simpler idea.

I felt that my previous game idea just kept unwinding into a bigger project every day I kept working on it. A lot of progress has been made on it since I last posted, but I thought it’d be good to do something way smaller in scope and then go back to it later.

My new and current project is a 3D game where you and optionally some friends perform research on entities on a space station above a recently discovered planet. I’m nearing a demo-able state of the game and promise to put more information soon. To give you an idea of the aesthetics, here is a photo of a vending machine that you can use to obtain a snack to fuel you during your hard work aboard the space station.

The status screen portion of that vending machine is replaced by a UI when you’re in game.

This game idea may sound complex too but I feel I’ve already gotten more content in this game in 3 months than my previous game, I feel like I’ve defined this game a lot more before starting any development which has helped. Also, there’s not much in terms of combat which I struggled to get feeling right in my RPG game. Anyway, I’ll definitely be putting more posts here soon.

Update

November 22, 2023 / / 0 Comments

It has certainly been a while. I’ve been recently busy with a new job I started earlier this year. Nevertheless, progress has continued on my game, but there has been a lot of changes in the direction which I wasn’t sure how to address so I kept putting off making a new post.

I’m currently working on a dungeon crawler-esque type of game. But I’ve switched to 2D, specifically a top-down game. The biggest reason for this change was issues with getting good animations for 3D models that I made. So I’ve put the 3D game on pause for now, and have been working on this new game in 2D, which I’m still working on in Godot, version 4.2 specifically at the moment.

Below is a quick photo, I’m using a free pixel art asset pack called Pixel Crawler I found on itch.io. I’m not sure if it is temporary or will be what I use in the end, but it looks okay for now.

Essentially you control a mage that crafts spells from ‘spell fragments’, which are these granular components of spells. So you could create a spell that explodes and hurts enemies, or one that pushes enemies away. The system for creating spells is quite complex and I’ll be showcasing some of it in future posts.

I’m thinking it will be called Nebulis but I haven’t settled a name just yet.

Trivo

December 11, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Recently, I’ve been working on a game named “Trivo.” (working title)

Game Setting

The game is a 3D over-the-shoulder dungeon crawler/roguelite. It’s set around a tower that seemingly rises beyond what the eye can see, which has drawn adventurers to ascend it for untold riches. A community has formed around the base of the tower which thrives off of the adventuring visitors and curious tourists.

The game is being developed with the Godot game engine, and all the scripting is being done in C#. I plan to make some more detailed posts in the future on why I ended up going with Godot, as well as other posts detailing how I create certain effects and scenes with it.

I’ll also be posting more about Trivo in the future, but for now here’s a quick run animation I created in blender for a dummy model that I’m using while prototyping the game’s mechanics and gameplay loop. This is an older animation but I’ll have more coming soon.
