Hey. Was intrigued by your ERTH project but that seems to be abandoned, and you posted this as your follow-up to that one. This seems abandoned now too though eh? Ah well. I can't get enough of that open-world style ERTH has with all those simulation type elements and RPG elements, awesome stuff, too bad you didn't continue on with it. Know any other RPG type games similar to it? Thanks.
i may have not worked on it in a long time but the dream is still alive! each is an iteration on an idea i’ve had for a long time. i wrote demon island from the ground up in C++ and learned a lot a long the way, including that writing my own bespoke engine is not a productive use of my time. my current plan is a rewrite inside of an engine, probably Godot. my life has been a little too busy and hectic to put any time down on this project but im hoping things will turn around soon.
as far as games similar to it, i really liked playing Core Keeper. it has some great exploration and combat elements and the setting is very cool.
yes, in fact gameplay will revolve quite a lot around NPCs in villages. at the outset there isn’t going to be a huge variety between them besides which types of NPCs populate them, which im hoping will encourage exploration.
I dont know why but this brought me back to my highschool days when we had a "make game" project. Suddenly got the itch to try it out again but its actually been like 22 years hahaha. Looking at your game screenshots gave me that itch to want to create again but unfortunately I have the attention span of a 2 year old.
In case I ever do want to jump back onto the bandwagon, can you recommend what program to start with these days? I used visual basic and C+ back in the day but its been eons (in terms of programming language) and likely a lot is different.
Maybe something like gamemaker (as u said in Erth, its what you used when you were 15) so maybe something I should start with.
All the same, thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to your project release.
thanks for the kind comments!! im glad my little project gave you some inspiration. as for starting out making games, i think one of the best places to start out nowadays is Godot. its a free and open source game engine with its own scripting language and editor. its pretty accessible and there are a good few resources on getting started. u can really get up and going with it fast.
it has some quirks but overall i think its really great, check it out if u get a chance!

seems like an Itch.io bug lol there are no releases currently
will villages exist? if so will some villages be more developed than others?

I'm hyped o.o when is the game gonna be released? (curious * - * )
It’ll probably be at least a year before a playable first build (I work on this game as a hobby :) )
nice :3 alright i'll (impatiently) wait for the game XD!!
I'm hyped!
can't wait (i can take your time) for this. i've been watching it slowly come together and think it will definitely be fun to play
