Lair of the Leviathan. Solo developed rpg.

Last year I started work on a crpg inspired by the rpgs of the 80s/90s. I still love these games but there are some serious flaws by modern standards especially when it comes to the ui and controls so I wanted to make something that addressed these but still kept that core old nostalgic feeling.

I was surprised that it was possible to make something like this as often it's the preconception Construct is only suitable for prototypes or simple games. I have found this is not the case at all. Some things are tricky, especially with database related stuff or anything dialogue related but overall no problems.

Give me a wishlist on steam if you are interested in old school rpgs and wished there was something similar.

Over the past week I have been working on a new battle system.

This week I have been working on a waystation system. Waystations exist throughout the world where you can restock on supplies, find rumours and information on local areas and potential new quests and also function as a fast travel to other discovered areas.

This week I have been going over some of my player sprites making them more readable. So far the feedback has been the new sprites are far better but the extra colour and detail means a lot more work animating unfortunately.

Along with that I have been adding animations and objects like clouds and birds to my world map.

Lately I have been updating some of the battle backgrounds as well as the ui. This is how the current battle screen is looking.
