Hey guys, its been awhile!

I’ve certainly missed developing games, and I’ve had a hard time getting into it throughout the pandemic. But now its time to focus.

If you’ve followed this blog, you probably know I love trading games, and one of the original games I was working on when I made this blog is Traders Guild. While the original idea for it is an open world game, I have decided it is time to scope down and work hard. My new scoped down game is highly inspired by Animal Crossing and Rune Factory, two games I have spent a lot of time with.

The main idea is simply making a profitable business, while slowly climbing your way through the ranks of the Traders Guild. This, and the decoration/building inspired by Animal Crossing I feel will certainly make a great game that a one man team can make.

So that’s it for the idea, now for the first update. I decided the most important part of this game will be interactions, so that is what I worked on. Here is an example of me interacting with a cub to change it color!

I am happy to be back and hope to see more of all you guys!

How’s it going guys?

Here’s another update for the new Traders Guild prototype! One thing I decided is that every action has to be fun. This includes things that are boring in most games like harvesting and crafting.

Here you’ll see I drew some inspiration from games like Final Fantasy XIV and Fantasy Life. When you gather you’ll have to do a little mini game. Each resource that you want to gather will have an amount of hit points, and you’ll have to use special skills to reduce the hit points to zero. Here you can see I implemented two of those skills, and a hit point system for the resources.

Next step will be adding some UI for skills, and the hit point bar for the resources.

Thanks for reading this and have yourself a great night! <3

Quick little morning update.

I was working on this before but polished it up. This menu works with the new Text Mesh Pro and 100% works on Controller. Simply using the D-Pad or right stick will allow you to traverse the menus now. I will have a lot of work to do when I implement inventory but I have been thinking of making a Skyrim style inventory as it would be a lot simpler but I do enjoy the more traditional grid UI most games have. 

Today won’t be  big update day as I have work at the worst times. I am still working on the base command class but I am kinda stuck on how to do it so I am gonna have to study it while working.

For now that’s all there is, just wanted to give you guys a quick udate! Have a good day <3
