DnD: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle (session 2)

Yesterday we played our second Dungeons and Dragons session. The first session consisted of two sub-sessions, one at night, one the following morning. Probably we'll continue this morning.

After Esh (Jilenko's character) left Heiko (Vash's character) and Tilo (Olysia's character) last time, a new hero appeared. Aurrun (Jilenko's new character) joined Heiko and Tilo aboard the Compass Rose, looking for an explanation of why a lot of ships shipwreck here on the coast. Unfortunately the heroes, especially Heiko and Aurrun, don't get along that well.

Here's what happend (images created with AI, based on the designs of Vash, Olysia and Jilenko):

Sirens - the next step

In the last few days, I made a ton of progress. I'm still working on the same screen, the artist profiles, but I've added a bunch of new features, like getting the profile data loading smoothly from the JSON arrays. All in all, I'm probably only at about 1 or 2 percent of what I ultimately want to make, but I'm really happy with how it's shaping up. Of course, it wouldn't be indie dev life without a setback. Over the weekend (Sunday), I completely screwed up and lost a massive chunk of progress. By the end of the day, I was almost back to where I was on Saturday. Almost. The silver lining? Forced to redo it, I completely restructured how the data handles the modular character profiles. That refactoring actually makes it way cleaner and easier to build out the game further down the line. Then, yesterday and today, I knocked out some smaller additions that somehow feel huge now that the foundation is solid. Check out the video below to see how it's looking ...

AI is killing creativity!

I'm currently experimenting with AI, using Gemini and ChatGPT to create images as inspiration for new characters. For a game idea that I have in my head, which is a long way from any shape or form, so I won't get further into that yet. I fed Gemini and ChatGPT some of my earlier characters (actually my only set of characters that I published thusfar): the Cleopatra-zombie character set . And I'm using that to create better looking characters. So I might come out with a Cleopatra v2 set in the near future. Cleopatra Here's the first version of Cleoptra, dressed in white (part of a jump-animation) and the version AI made from it (with a spaceship background - which gives a hint about what kind of game I want to make), as well as a face portrait. The full-body image was created by ChatGPT. The headshot was created by Gemini, as you can see by the 'sparkle icon' watermark in the lower right corner. Gold Cleopatra I also made another 'skin' for Cleopatra, w...

Check out the progress in the video below: Here is a rundown of the latest additions and improvements: In-Game News Feature I’ve kicked off development on a brand-new news feed feature.
