Returning to the Main Quest · 1909 days ago
For a while now, I’ve not been making progress on UnEarthed Gods. I think about it often, but my spare time has been wasted. I’m not sure why this is entirely.
But! My eyes are open now and I see the time I’ve lost.
The past few days have been reinvigorating. I’m focusing purely on the story of the game, and while I write, all the magic that originally excited me comes back.
I see the creatures, the tower, the undead king, the magic and the secret path there.
With a full time job, the challenge is doubly hard…but that makes it all the more worthwhile.
My New Goals:
- Work regularly, daily, even if just an hour, even if just ten minutes
- Focus on story, feeling, experience, not the technology
- Use what I have to make what I can
- Banish self doubt
Wish me luck!

And no post should go without a new screenshot
The above is a picture of a dungeon in the design phase. I’ve laid out the space in rough blocks. Set up initial lighting values to get the feel and pacing right.
I play through the level this way setting up the gameplay. Then once I am happy with it I will flesh out the detail, adding real texture maps, and light color.
