Update #92: 10 Realizations from a Purpose Driven Break
On Mar 16 I stopped working on Archmage Rises. I took a purpose driven break to rediscover my motivation. Here are 10 realizations that came out of walking away.
Not much progress since the last update. I got sick and then went to Chicago for my eldest daughter, Claire's, dancing competition.
I asked on the forums if I should even bother doing an update and the consensus was its always good to be consistent even without much to say.
Update #89: 3D Dungeons (Work in Progress)
This week Timo joins us to take a look at the 3D dungeon initiative. Most effort has been in exploring what can be done to procedurally generate an interactive room rather than making it look pretty.
Dungeons are one of the most beloved aspects of RPGs, yet one of the lowest rated aspects of Archmage Rises. With the start of the New year, I decided to dig in and renovate the dungeon system. Top of the list is increasing theme and variety of the dungeons. Then Rogier drops a bomb: What if we rendered the dungeons in 3D?
This is a special year end review on the current state of Archmage Rises for fans, stakeholders, and indie game devs. We review work effort, financials, fan survey, and then the next steps on how to finish the game through to release. I hope you enjoy the transparency. I’m happy to clarify anything or answer questions.
