News! #2

Hey, quick update.

I’ve been quiet for a few days, but I’ve been thinking a lot about the direction of the game.

Long story short: I realised I was over-engineering things way too early. Procedural terrain and heavy engine features were cool, but they were slowing everything down.

I’m now experimenting with a custom engine instead of Godot (which was the engine I was using). This might not be the final choice, but I want to see how far I can push it and what kind of control it gives me.

The game itself is also shifting a bit:

Added

• Custom game engine (formerly Godot)

• More long-term concepts and planning

Removed

• Procedural terrain (switching to a prebuilt map)

• Shaders (for now)

Updates may be slower for a bit, but this should make development smoother in the long run.
