Greetings, adventurers!
This is Oliver Joyce from the Lair of the Leviathan team. Since our last update, David from Nostalgic Realms has been working hard on the game's location art. From dank, oppressive swamp towns to cozy taverns with crackling fireplaces, David is putting together a ton of art for the game, one pixel at a time.
Meanwhile, I've been working on the game engine itself. I have created a pretty powerful in-game editor, where I can do everything from add lights, points of interest and set the weather for the realm, I can also create encounters, conversations, link locations and more. I've also got the character creator fully built too. Next up for me is most likely the 'skills creator' so I can prepare for building combat in the game.
I've got party chatter conversations going in the game too. Although you custom create your own hero ( and you'll have to create up to 4 other custom heroes to join you), there will be the option to have pre-made heroes join the group too. These heroes will have their own personalities and comment on things they see and experience through the game.
Right now the in-game editor is just for David and I to use, but at some point if the game does well, I'd love to open it up to the public to allow people to make their own modded adventures for the game itself.
