The weather system is finally online. 🌧️

It handles rain, snow, fog, and dynamic lighting shifts. It’s crazy how much the mood changes when a storm rolls in.

Recorded a clip of it in action.

Thanks for asking! The source isn't public—it's a personal/commercial project. I share progress and devlogs here though, so stick around if you want to see how it evolves!

Working on the Class Editor today - added sprite pickers with visual previews so you can actually SEE what you're selecting.

Still debugging why class sprites aren't applying to characters in-game. The joys of wiring up data flow.

Spot on! This is the "Admin/Dev" overlay. I can toggle it with F12 to build maps, edit items, or tweak balance live while the game is running. Regular players get a custom pixel-art HUD that matches the game's aesthetic, so no ImGui for them unless they're admins!

That's ImGui! Correct, no native controller support. But since I'm using Raylib for input, I can map gamepad to the in-game UI when needed. The editor stuff is dev-only though, so mouse/keyboard works fine there.

Building the Spell Editor today. 🪄

Went with a modular effect system so I can chain components (Damage, StatusFX, Heals) to create basically any spell I want without writing new code.

Currently testing it with a classic Fireball. Quest system is next on the list.

Massive progress week. 🚀

Day/Night, Fog of War, and Combat are finally in.

I also finished the Map, NPC, and Item editors, so the content pipeline is fully working. Shifting focus to Spell and Quest editors now.

Yeh I did see an original video and how they handle these situation is disgusting. At the same time I dont agree with people using AI to edit serious images like this, lets not drift towards their level or morality/honesty/transparancy.

Wondering if this specific image is AI, where is that ICE agents head?

What if building an MMORPG was as easy as drag-and-drop?

I am not sure what happened with the video quality but it does not lag like that, I swear! 😅

Debugging coordinate systems at 3am hits different 🛠️

Today's win: Fixed a sneaky bug where players became invisible when crossing map boundaries. Turns out mixing Local and World coordinates is a BAD idea.

Lesson learned. Coffee consumed. Ship it! ☕

Little break from engine architecture to work on the site vibes. ⚒️

Implemented a custom particle system for the "Coming Soon" page. Does it serve a functional purpose? No. Does it look cool when I move my mouse? Absolutely.

Finally set up the official socials for Forge2D.

I've been heads-down building this 2D MMORPG engine from scratch (C#/.NET) and it's time to actually show some progress.
