There are all my posts about RPGs
It's been a while since I last updated you all on my progress. There's a few reasons for that and I want to share them with you.
A lot of the time I've spent on Calyros in the last few months has been reworking existing code to make it a bit more flexible.
Networking
One of the early things I wanted to do as...

Since the last update I've achieved a few more minor milestones towards "prettifying" the game, but also added some core functionality.
I apologise for getting this update to you a week late, I was feeling a little demotivated and burned out and decided to give myself a break rather than force through an dev log update.
But, we're here now - let's get on....

I managed to have a nice relaxed Christmas and New Year. I didn't get as much time to work on my game as I'd hoped, but it was actually nice to put down the tools and enjoy being offline for a bit. It was energising.
So, between that new energy and the fact that last week's post was to formerly introduce the game to...

I've been talking at anyone who'll listen to me about my project for the last few months - first offline and then on BlueSky and here. Times have been exciting for me.

Before I do that though, I need...

Empowered by my recent success in creating terrain and applying textures to it that wasn't too shabby, I decided to move on to creating rivers. I had a rough idea of how I wanted this to work, but putting it into practice was more difficult than I anticipated.
I'll start with a little bit of the "theory" and then explain how I implemented it....

Hey and welcome back for part three of my DevLog. In the previous post, I did something of a deep-dive into how I'm generating terrain for my game - in this update I want to be a little more summary.
Adding a texture to my terrain mesh
When I left you last, I had a nice mesh that was reacting to light but it...

Hey you, this is number 2. Do you wanna read number 1?
No? Okay.
After the previous DevLog, I felt as though I'd taken 2 steps forward and one step back.
Even though I'm still finding my feet with this project, I felt like I'd spent quite a lot of energy and didn't have much to show for it.
I did have a heightmap...

Hey you, and welcome to my first DevLog for the so-far unnamed multiplayer RPG I'm creating.
This is actually the fourth post I've written, but in the first three I spent a lot of time waffling about what I'm building and why - stuff you might not care about.
I thought a better introduction to this project would be to dive in to what...
