Hello. It's been a while since I've posted here. A lot has changed since then.. and I believe that this project might have got a second chance. More on this later.

Yes! at least a part of it - a bit in the presentation and in the combat. Thanks for checking it out!

Finally got around to implementing an official combat loop before taking a quick detour to do Mech Jam VI. Also, I have my first enemies implemented - also you can air attack now :-)

Thank you so much!

Got some stuff that I think is pretty cool coming down the pipeline.. more to show off later.

Thanks, man! I have a bunch more progress, but I am going to get some more done before I post again. You'll have a demo, hopefully by the end of the year or early next.

Polishing the crafting system in Binder's Tower—one of the first systems I built. It's in a better state now, but still needs work. Next up: refining enemies and pushing toward a prototype demo.

This week, I worked on implementing an item hot bar and extending drag n drop system to the inventory menu.

Spent the last month building a new archetype and reworking the whole system! You’ll now equip a swappable secondary class (inspired by Skul) to create synergies—since you only get 4 active abilities (intended for comfortable controller play).

It's been a while since I've posted.

I've been working hard implementing game play for another archetype. I might have also gone a bit overboard, and committed a bit of scope creep - it will be worth it, I swear! Video update soon..

I think I've decided to go with the more convenient route and give abilities when you advance a skill. Seems to fall in more in suit with my goal when it comes to the player character, which is to focus on a custom build that suits their play style.

I'm torn between having a maplestory style ability system where abilities are available after unlocking a class vs a WoW/Guildwars system where the player purchases abilities from a trainer.. What would you prefer? More "realism" or convenience?

Finished the basis of questing in Binder's Tower. There are four kinds of quests - main line quests, side quests, town tasks, and den beast hunts. To progress in Binder's Tower, you will complete Main Line tasks - however, the rest is optional!

Finished the basic functionality for the abilities system of Binder's Tower.

The abilities system works in the vein of classic MMOs; however, the number of abilities that you can mount at any given time is based on the number of sockets on your equipped weapon!
