since i lost the files i should maybe try a new devlog style which is to just showcase the final results of what i made instead of also including the process
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED I CAN’T STANDARDIZE SHIT BECAUSE IT COULD BREAK ONE WEAPON
…that weapon is ice-fire thermodynamic balance, and it breaks because it can switch sides…
unfortunately my school has a goofy ahh schedule where basically it’s year round, so i’ll be fucking busy for a while.
damn i really miss my old school. shame it shut down right after i finished grade 10 and i was forced to move. i miss my old school’s better school year schedule.
note: i can be lying about a few details here to protect my opsec
i’m lowering the stat cap from 1 quadrillion to 1 trillion
also i might be doing some heavy overhauls (idk though lol) and i’m actually documenting what the gameplay loop would look like and the overall progression
holy shit my current todo list (for v1.0 release) for this game is overwhelming; i got:
- finish weapons
- weapon obtainment (crates, travelling to other worlds)
- npc quests
- overhaul info ui (3 main as of now: main tutorial, game rules, technical details)
- the entire main questline (prob won’t last/stretch until stat cap, maybe just to billions)
- plan out the gameplay loop
- possibly lore rewrite
doc link again: magic power simulator - Google Docs
When do you want to release the game Archenhailor?
idk but i’m guessing it’ll release 2026
i’m adding support for differentiation between weapon display names and its file/code names, is mostly cosmetic although it could make the datastore slightly easier to implement
idk but prob a good practice
also fun fact but the r move (blast) in this game was inspired by ar’s dark devastation/lightning annihilation, especially in the windup animation
god damnit i might completely abandon magic power simulator since the fact it’s alr been 1.5 years in development says that it’s not gonna work
Nah don’t do that it’s cool af
I’ll probably play it when/if it comes out
Obviously do what you think is best for you, and if you think this is best then do it by all means, but I don’t think you should give up on it personally
expect this game to release in late 2026
Do me a favour and get there before Deltarune Chapter 5 alr? /lh
i’m thinking about the fact there’s forum curses references in the game lol such as tendon acumen
Archenhailor’s back :0
Can’t wait to see more of your dev log! Seeing you continue to develop gives us lots of motivation!
i’m gonna change this shitty ass lore from history of multiple meteors landing on earth to multiple dimensions or smth
now in the starting world only 1 meteor came down and it’s the one that gives you whatever typical/classic anime energy power… and also portals to access the other dimensions
the other dimensions would have different shit, such as an alternate world in the 13th century that has the magic weapons, or a spirit world, or some dumb ass shit like a skibidi world
Brainrot infection becomes a canon part of the world lore?
A dimension birthed by the collective creation of brainrot
maybe
