3000 Agents all running around doing their own thing with collisions n' stuff, Real world id never have more than a few hundred at once but it is cool to see the big swarm. Really proud of how efficient the collision implementation is.

Story telling driven by dynamic factions! After the initial scramble for territory green is quickly overwhelmed followed by aqua. Blue barely clings to life long enough gain morale and claw back territory before a random event causes their collapse.

New title screen for GuildLore is almost done-ish, I want to add a official discord shortcut somewhere but I am unsure if I should just put it as another thing in the main menu or off to the side somewhere. Does anyone have opinions on this sort of thing?

Working on juicing up the UI! I added a slight pitch up to lists of things to make the scrolling through them feel more tactile and satisfying to interact with.

When UI elements you need to make sure they are always engaging, fun and definitely not a trap.

Been hard at work getting the basic gameplay systems for GuildLore working! It is a Party/Guild management game where you travel across the world hunting for loot and xp. Idle and active play very much intended. Playtest maybe someday lol. Would you try it?

:D New game project, party/guild management game! Running a stress test in browser and it seems to be performing pretty good still even with more enemies than would typically be present.

Coming back with a colorful vengeance here, and what better piece than one called "Wrathful Revenge" with these badass horns, and a Plague Doctor? Had some fun coming back to color collab with my friend @amandadufrsne.bsky.social with her badass work

:> Showing the difference between an attack chain that swaps weapons with every action and one that uses the same weapon. Of course there will be a skill to reduce this penalty a bit. The advantage of weapons swaps is different on hit effects among other things.

Finally figured out how to make root motion work with Blender, apparently you have to move the actual rig itself to get the expected behavior in unreal.
