Not a desired outcome for the project but that is the reality of game development. I knew back in 2020 when I started to work on this project that it would be a long, hard, and costly road to walk down.

It has been a couple of months since our last posted update. A short break was taken to work on a side project. We have been back into the swing of things for a little while now working on making a huge

2021 was quite a heavy year of development. Several projects were added to the mix. There were a lot of long nights without coffee fighting off bugs, working on complex systems, and trying to cram information

The old main town in Nightly Dungeon never quite lived up to what I wanted it to be. It had the backdrop I wanted. There was never enough space to grow it into something one day. On top of that because

It has been a little while since our last update. With this being developed by a solo developer when some time is taken off as needed the project grinds to a halt. I will now be shifting my time back onto

Back in May the zone exploration demo was released for Nightly Dungeon. Since then the effort has been switch over to getting NPC loot and combat ready for the next single-player demo that is now available

A lot is being done for the up-and-coming singe player NPC And Loot Beta demo coming out shortly. The target date is October the 2nd and the project will be available for download baring any issues on

The last couple of months have rather enraged enduing, to say the least. As a result, there were not many updates. In game development, all you can do is take one thing at a time and slowly work through

I was hoping this time that there would not be a major Unreal Engine 4 update requiring a focus on evaluating and performing that update. That however seems to have been short-lived as 4.27 recently came

A painfully slow last couple of weeks it has been. Between being out of town a couple of times and quite the nice summer season that is upon me. It was hard to remain indoors working on anything. At this

Outside of bug fixes. Similar work to last week was done just in different zones in the game. Work continues on the revamp of NPCs. Not as much as I wanted getting done for the week due to weather having

Work continues on the revamp of NPCs. Several key elements were completed and tested over the week. All of these revamps are geared towards the next beta release for combat and loot testing. This might

Always interesting how those early mistakes seem to catch up to you at some point. There are many things I did not know exactly how to do them or the best way to move forward. I just did them to get that

Some days in game development are tougher than other days. This story happens to be around one of those days. I recently migrated a redesigned inventory system which I’ve shorted the scope on to meet more

Sometimes it feels like you get nothing done. Between some clean-up, fixing issues, and trying new things that were the case. I ended up creating more work for myself than what I got done. At least there

As far as progress made since last week it’s been a bunch of failures regarding inventory. Usually, during those kinds of weeks, I just don’t end up posting a weekly update. That however does not give

Code named @nightlydungeon has been the project I have been working on since the start of 2020 you might know it as "game development." Many times people have asked if they could just walk around

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been working on massively expanding the loot tables for 24 of the 25 zones in my games. This has also included testing out my new inventory system that adds a lot

The time has come I have an actual exit game button and a lot of other standard menu and game settings options. I had early on a basic menu system it was so bad that I disabled it and never looked backed

Kind of silly I have not had much of anything set up for saving the game in quite some time. You might have noticed in the early days I had a slowly increasing amount of experience and gold as I progressed
