How do you make a branching, non-linear game? By a lot of variables I wrote a system where you can change values, register events, add choices or execute code from
@arcweave
dialogs directly in the
@defold
engine! #indiedev #gamedev #rpg

When a 'simple' dialog with one NPC doesn't even fit your screen zoomed out

This game looks great, but I really hope the developer adds ray tracing so it can use my RTX 3090. I hope the developer can make it look like Witcher 3 but better because of RTX.

Wish they would give more info about the RPG mechanics on the steam page, I always prefer my metroidvania's to be more Igavania like with experience, shit to improve, lots of gear to find and equip, et cetera. A lot of metroidvanias just slap on rpg at the end because there are permanent stat enhancements to be found like Zelda games are considered rpgs or something.
