In light of the latest security vulnerabilities in PHP, I am taking immediate action to secure all user data and updating the server right now as we speak. Expect some downtime during the service window. php.net/index.php#2026-10-21…
They succeeded
The woke Marxist left declared a culture war.
They identified computer games as the most effective way to manipulate younger generations.
They took over the industry as concept artists, HR, marketing advisors, and graphic designers.
Destroyed from the inside
I wish it were different. A month ago, I was diagnosed with a quite severe heart condition. I will need open-heart surgery within the next 5-10 years. I need to slow down at work and should not lift more than 20 kgs.
The problem is caused by high blood pressure and stress.
I can't think of why the game would not be worth supporting to anyone who likes the old-school RPG games, and that is why I see the main problem as reach. Nearly nobody even knows of the existence of the game.
I should get around to making a build that is good enough to publish ...
I will get there. Don't worry!
But ther is a ton of features that need polishing and more testing. Even with AI it is a huge workload!
What in the 👹 does balance in an RPG even mean?
Do you expect to be able to win every encounter?
Do you expect monsters to neatly group themselves into bite-sized chunks?
This is 95% of the reason I downgraded to just a hobby project for myself.

I want to continue making a few improvements tonight. The campaign map is almost good enough to start playtesting.
First encounter in the campaign map testing!
200 orcs!
This dialogue option has to pass, or we are DEAD!
The campaign map is a HUGE undertaking. Even mapping the possible 37800 squares to the correct terrain type is a month-long full-time job.
Now, enter local multimodal AI models, and we can make it intelligently procedural.
Let's see if we can make this work. And then we can work on the UI and the graphics.
I HATE READING TEXT in RPGs. It feels like immersion breaks, I'm suddenly in a book, rather than a game, and the year is somehow 1994.
I know Google Cloud Text To Speech is not perfect, but it is tolerable to my ears and in my opinion, 1000 times better than reading.
