Working on "Quantum3D" - This will be an open-source 3D engine/IDE. I use QT OpenSource for the IDE, and the 3D engine is completely new, built entirely using Vulkan. Here's a test image of it's PBR shader. #gamedev #indiedev

Added a global blueprint function library to handle loading screens. Now just a single blueprint(see below) creates a loading screen and loads the map. #gamedev #indiedev

Added message subsystem to the Edge Framework/game. It uses the conversation editor to build, but unlike the conversationSubsystem, it is not interactive. It can be system messages, tutorial messages or even character chat that require no interaction. #gamedev #indiedev

Added three new sub-event types. #gamedev #indiedev - These three events mean you can redfine the gameplay through events, when needed.

Event nodes now have a useful dropdown that lists all sub events and the ID of their main resource connection, in this case the play cinematic subevent Sequence. #gamedev #indiedev

Added event nodes, you simply drag and drop an event from the content browser into the conversation editor, and can link it to conversation entry nodes. #gamedev #indiedev
November 20, 2025 at 2:22 PM

Added persona nodes, which let you see an entry's name/avatar etc with a single node. #gamedev #indiedev

Improved the conversaion UI some more. Now choices also blur the background, and made the video more subtle. #gamedev #indiedev

Improved the UI(I think?) - Now the background behind the conversion UI elements are blurred. #gamedev #indiedev
