Who needs river simulations when you can just mess with the UVs a little.
(Looks like complete ass right now, this is just testing)

Saving and loading cells now work, including spawning items into any given cell and having it register correctly. With a combination of spawners (designer placed) and cached entity lists (dynamically added/removed) I can save & retrieve items from a specific level trivially.

No open world RPG is complete without this kind of chaos. (I got a sudden urge to model a cheese wheel as well).

Bow and arrow has been (mostly) implemented aside from a few things that need to be fixed. I made it so that projectiles have the arrow item as an attached payload so that it spawns the item on impact (works with custom enchanted arrows as well).

Enemies can now block and they respond to your actions through the same stimuli system as other AI states, though way more complicated where internal parameters are taken into account. Also added some movement to the character to make it feel a bit more dynamic.

Testing some combat animations I made today. It's still a bit buggy (and the enemy can't block yet) but I think the idea is there.

Working on the locomotion for the game (animation, camera movement etc.). Also, having different kind of armor will have different layered footstep sounds.

Spellmaking is now implemented. You can create any spell as long as you have the ability to cast it without any buffs to your "mana".

Got enchanting up and running. You can customize the enchantment however you want with mixing cast trigger and target. For example, you can make something goofy like this enchantment: when you hit an enemy with the weapon, you get blind.

The lockpicking minigame:
You move the cursor and listen for the picking sound to get louder and the tumbler to start filling. The closer you are to the sweet spot, the faster it fills.
If you click inside the sweet spot you can attempt to force the lock which saves time and durability.

I'm a solo dev working on a RPG during my spare time while studying at university. The game is about the introduction of fantasy magic into a low-fantasy setting. It takes major inspiration from greek drama and surreal literature. The game has no main story but is instead composed of story vignettes

Been doing some landscaping. I use large meshes that define the geometry and the landmass connect the parts. It works very well.
