Awesome! Making anything in particular or just learning for now?

I'll be streaming the journey every so often, gamedev streams have been very fun and good for learning!

And ill upload a new protoype from the godot version when it's playable! Feel free to follow on itchio.

And i'll try and share things I learn here as I go - please share your tips too!

Exiled Guild Manager by ZIGGYD Send aspiring ARPG protagonists to their deaths for loot and for fun. A very early alpha prototype.

This is about a month so far of my game dev journey from 0 gamedev or coding experience - it's been very rewarding!

Here's the old javascript prototype I made (left in this state since the move to godot).
ziggyd.itch.io/exiled-guild...
See if you can beat uber crab!

Another huge thing: after realizing how time wasting it was to have to look up variables and names of stats etc - made a tool to generate updated quick reference.

I just run script to make a new .md file for obsidian whenever I need. I'll be looking for more "tools" and such I can make for myself.

A HUGE improvement has doing tests each step and for each new feature and it's been a huge help for understanding everything, finding bugs and making the whole game a lot more robust!

This is for the morale system implementation. Much fancier and all working nicely! Doing tests is AMAZING! DO it!

It's taking a long time to get back to a playable prototype but Im MUCH more confident now and the systems are working and building together nicely.

I'm so much more organized now and have a great idea of what all I have done, need to do and can do.

CUE: 3rd Do-over, from scratch remaking in GODOT, an actual game making engine. A week in and it's been a lot to learn but it was the right call: UI now "just works", kinda.

More importantly though the resource system has helped structure really good object-based work.

I even got some animated combat going, all with CSS and javascript + text and icons!

But I knew I had a lot of fundamental changes I wanted to make and battling with CSS to get the game UI to function properly across different monitors was being increasingly frustrating...

After a week or so I had a working prototype with some pretty bad UI/UX so I redid most everything (leaving a mess of redundant code scattered about that took a long time to somewhat clean up).

I started with straight up javascript, CSS and HTML as I wanted to make a browser friendly game and I had zero frame of reference. It wasn't a bad choice but was jumping in the deep end for sure.

Still, being able to make things from nothing without even engine support was great learning.

I've been making a game as I have fallen prey to the "Indie Game Streamer tries to make a game" pipeline.

ZERO experience, learning with a combo of tutorials and AI + chat.

It's been extremely fun and addictive.

I'm making "Exiled Guild Manager" - ARPG inspired guild management sim.

Journey ↧

It's Indie Tryouts Day today on stream!

End of every month I sample #IndieGames suggested by chat.

Starting Game is a Roguelite called Sephiria which looks great!

Last night I told #LastEpoch Devs about a bug in offline mode causing echo modifiers to not work at all.

They said they'd look into it.

This morning I woke up and they had deployed a fix! Amazing and a big deal fix to a bug that would've ruined my empowered monos experience.
