It's not obvious how much work this was from a random screenshot - but in a game based on a 2D grid map it was surprisingly difficult to get the camera to change Y position (height) based on terrain height and move smoothly as the player moves in increments of 10 units per square. #gamedev #drpg

Nobody told me that game development would be about 90% working on user interfaces. That came as a surprise. #gamedev #indiegamedev

In Toward The Ice, you'll be able to start the game with a pre-generated party if you don't want to go through the process of rolling dice to create new characters. #drpg #dungenoncrawler #rpg

Importing assets into Unity really needs to be a background task. Making it impossible to do any work for more than an hour with a modal dialog box (that can't even be paused!) is just not enjoyable. #unity #gamedev #waitingfordirttoimport

For all my learning, tinkering, and time spent I'm still not ready to use Unreal as my primary game engine. The next few things I release will be made with Unity, but I'll keep studying Unreal. Might be insanity wanting to master two game engines, but here I am. #unreal #unity #gamedev

I'm working on some of the basic mechanics for Solward, one of which is stopping character movement when an enemy initiates combat. Before they were stopping wherever, and now they stop at the intersection of a grid square (which I'll later adjust to the center). #gamedev #rpg
