Here's a short clip of a test I did, that shows two accounts connected in a party group, killing creatures, getting XP, and other stuff.

Lately I have been working on improving the sounds to allow for a better player immersion. On this video, I go over the improvements done in the footsteps system and sounds, and how it has impacted the game.

Footsteps are the kind of sound that is heard very often, and they play a very important rol…

While there are many platforms to distribute my game, I felt I needed a way to directly distribute updates and be able to more easily communicate with the players. I might want to announce events, maintenance, patches, and so on. So a launcher feels like a natural solution, as the first layer befor…

Overall, I like the results so far, and how it looks. The look and feel of the scene is goin…
