Typically I post updates much more often than I have recently. I’m not much of a writer to begin with and I wrote so much during the kickstarter that I think I burned myself out on it. I have also been really wanting to make some real progress on development – get some good momentum going.
I have been working nonstop since the kickstarter ended 10 days ago. I am almost done with the lighting system (the initial pass at least). Both equipment and proficiencies (leveling) are fully implemented. Now we just have to make the content!
So what is lighting looking like so far?

I’m currently finishing up the lighting. Optimizing it some and adding in colored lights. Right now I don’t have dynamic lights casting shadows. I really want shadows but they are not essential and right now I need to just focus on the core essentials.
Equipment is looking great. I want to do a future write-up all about equipment, but for now I will say that you can do nearly anything with it. This means not only will we be able to make awesome and unique equipment, but through the easy modding setup, so will everyone else! Here’s some visuals:

Right now there are no visuals to show for the proficiencies, because at this point its all logic. I will be posting the write-up on equipment soon. Be sure to subscribe to the blog to get updates when they happen.
Lately I have been doing impromptu coding livestreams. If you follow the Siege Games twitchtv account, you’ll be notified with an email whenever I start up a livestream.
Excellent update!! We know you all are working very hard to get things in motion. We appreciate any update we can get and won’t slight you one bit if it isn’t as frequent as usual. It’s a journey and we are all on the ride and look forward to learning and discovering more!
Very nice! I specifically like the new character sheet most.
Perhaps you can make the stats look something like “10 +3″.
10 is your base stat, +3 comes from equipment.
Can’t wait to get the game into my fingers … ;D
This is amazing! I can’t wait to play
