Project Magic

Prez

​While in the past, most of the time spent working on this project was strictly on player driven actions and what they can do with the characters they have mechanically. I have had different ideas floating in the back of my mind about what the general progression and and world structure would look like. A lot of these ideas that I have had were either ambitious or lacked clarity. It wasn't until recently that a clear idea came to mind. For now I will not spill exact details but I can provide information on one of the systems that serves as one of the pieces to the puzzle. This system is a bonfire system that is mostly seen in souls-like games. Though with some modifications. The main modification to this system is that when resting at a bonfire it does not immediately reset enemies, if an area is left alone for a set period of time then all the enemies associated to that area is reset. The Idea behind this is to give a sense that the player is spending the night at the bonfire and only resuming operations the following day and that areas do not change drastically over night. Some other things that I would like for this system to be able to do in the future is allow the player to craft consumables and cook food to apply temporary buffs to the party for the next day.

I haven't really had the time to put together a better compilation on some of the things I have been wroking on for my project. Most of what I have been working on is mainly on getting some form of combat system working. I still think it is some what crude but I see potential. Maybe with a bit of work I can provide something that feels a bit more thrilling. As of right now I have the same character base one with a player controller attached and the others with an AI module. With a little bit more work I think that I can curate a better combat experience.

I have made quite a bit of progress with the project, some of which is proper keyboard support as well as the early stages of interacting with objects and NPCs, among other things. I do go into a little more detail in my blog post in itch.

I'm back with my monthly showoff I worked on a multitude of things. The biggest one is the Action Graph state machine and the other is the remamaining commands for the command system. Aside from that I also did some light 3d modeling.

I feel Like I have made some good progress On my game. A core part of the game for my project is nearing completion and I like where it is going.

I have some updates around Project Magic. In which some I go over in this blog, but for the most part I like the direction this project is going in. I have so much more I'd like to iterate on. But for now this is all I have.

I have made a new years resolution to work on one project all the way through the year and hopefully have some form of demo with it. At first it was going to be a new project from the get go; however, after some initial plans decided to make it a new version of a project I started more than a year ago. The project's name is Project Magic. What I have so far is mostly technical game systems work. But I do have a blog on itch.io for it. Here are som images of some of the work I have done.
