For way, way to long. If there's an error on login it would crash the dev build of the game. This is now resolved.

Doing a little experiment to have intro logos. Honestly not sure how I feel about it tbh...

Alongside some pretty heavy reworks to the scripting engine, Items can now be combined using the MVP of the crafting system. See the example below of me combining to half loafs of bread into a full loaf.

Today on stream, we got skill levels into our modestly multiplayer online role playing game. They don't currently impact anything but this is a really big addition!

We found out live during the stream yesterday that a stream clip of my modestly multiplayer online role playing game made it onto #thisweekinbevy. Feels so good 😂

After today's 5 hour stream and a little work after to cleanup, player to player trading is fully added to my modestly multiplayer online role playing game.

Doors are now in game! Really big for making the world feel less stationary.

Quick initial version of pride flag capes now that I sorted capes with the layering system for mirrorstone.

Developing a game is absolutely providing an outlet for your own views.

We finally have an item available for every slot. Behold the cape!
