Hot take on crypto gaming, but if you can "make money" from playing a game, it's not a game anymore i.e. "not fun".

running is the best drug

working on a gladiator game

Here's a screenshot from the indie game I've been developing for a few months in my free time. I'm aiming to get a demo on steam by EOY.

Who thinks Blueprints are superior to code? Not. Me.

Just need to figure out how to get 52,000 spectators in the seats without blowing up everyone's PC.

feels like im finally getting good at blueprint nodes... took a solid 2 months to be able to get into any kind of rhythm or flow state.. but always more to learn

Watching your game come together is a super addicting feeling. (Not that I'm "watching" - it's a lot of work)

Trying to replicate the arena walls from this painting for the game.

I added access gates in the arena walls so there would be more enemy spawn points in the game.

I'm a "more is more" kind of guy and I know that means I'll never finish this game, but oh well. Maybe I'll get to the gameplay one day.

Modeled some gates yesterday.

I've been putting off learning substance painter for way too long.

There was a dream that was Rome. The dream was to simulate 52k spectators at 60fps with Nanite and Lumen. These were the wishes of Marcus Aurelius.

1000 flower petals go a long way remodeling the gate today

good looking gate

I still think about the Roman Empire every day.

Ludus Magnus was a gladiator school connected directly to the Colosseum via a tunnel system. It housed over 150 gladiators who could only leave through death or victory in the arena. Ask yourself: How far could I have made it?

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since I first revealed Pompeii: The Legacy as a solo dev. Thank you all for supporting me on this journey through development, we’re now just a few weeks away from release! 🙏🌋 #indiedev #gamedev #citybuilder #PompeiiTheLegacy
