New project added, and I changed the presentation a little. I don't have a lot of polish on the presentation, but now I have the 3 of the top 4 projects up. Then I will do a general gallery (another 12

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

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

As a game developer, it’s always nice to keep an eye out for free goodies. Many of us are after all digital hoarders as we never knew when if ever we could use something for a project we are working 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

Every month for Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) developers there are free for limited-time assets to pick up in the store. Once you claim them they are yours forever and are placed into your UE4 vault. This is great

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

For the last several weeks I have spent the bulk of my game development time in one of my test playgrounds. I have a lot of new things I needed to learn from scratch and test out. Instead of trying to
