Building traps is fun. Treasures await if you can survive! Don't ask me how many takes I had to do for this gif.

Wishlist on steam if you like what you see!

I did an inventory of my creatures and had 45 left to animate (idle, walk, attack, damaged, death) and knocked out 10 today. 35 to go! Phew!

Been a while since I did a full playthrough of Realms & Ruins: Abencor. I'm halfway through it & have implemented nearly 40 tweaks and fixes. Had a few "What was I thinking?" moments lol

New hit animations! Previously they were using small streak effects made in engine, but I think this looks a lot better and is less clunky to implement. Time to overhaul my weapon attack effects!

Dungeon Crawler Jam 2025 (itch.io/jam/dcjam2025) is in full swing! I've gone with #rpginabox again this year and really enjoying how it's coming together. First boss is in! Just cleaning up the rough edges on this dungeon floor and on to the next!

Decided a castle will be the next dungeon for Realms & Ruins: Abencor. When it's complete (hopefully this weekend) that will make for 3 dungeons of side content this month!

This is legitimately ~30 seconds of scrolling legalese just to play a game. Why 🤪. They should be required to provide legal counsel to parse this for me.

17 days to #dungeoncrawlerjam2025! Still working on R&R, but I’ve got status effects working in my custom RPG in a Box combat system that I should probably give a catchy name. A few more things to add and all the bones are there to build a jam entry!

Dungeon Crawler Jam 2025 (itch.io/jam/dcjam2025) is coming soon. Here's a little prototype I've been working on that I might use for the jam or I could dive into RPG maker MZ using the mz3d plugin. I should probably decide asap

Not something currently for sale but I did source a few things for a physical edition. Gave one to a buddy who is playtesting and keeping one for myself to keep on my shelf.
