Dev Newsletter #1
Hello all, a number of projects are in progress so I wanted to write about happenings and my current goals!
TL;DR list
Ada RPG new quest system being developed! (DnD like events)
Tempus Deorum architecture continues to evolve.
Miner Lou fixes & tweaks planned
Ada RPG (2.0 update)
I've been actively working on a major update to Ada RPG!
Development is well underway for improvements and an entirely new quest system!
This new quest system will allow streamers to define "non-combat" quests. Think of a typical Dungeons and Dragons or other table top game- there are many encounters outside of combat. Be it investigating a dungeon, exploring caves or ruins, or going on missions. The possibilities for story telling will be virtually limitless under this new system and should provide a ton of creative opportunities to really make Ada RPG thematically fit your channel!
Similar to the current combat quests system, new content sheets will be available to customize these encounters. I am super excited to see what Ada RPG users come up with!
Tempus Deorum (Architecture evolves)
Tempus Deorum is a project very dear to me. Although it's incredibly ambitious in scope, I continue to work on this project as I can find time & energy. Currently network code is being improved to reduce the amount of traffic sent between the client and server to improve performance. So far I've reduced player synchronization network traffic by nearly 80%.
Miner Lou
Miner Lou is another project dear to me. Since its release in 2020, some bugs and other UX issues have been discovered by the community (big shoutout to those who have helped find these issues!). Being a solo dev, i can't express how much help and motivation I receive from bug reports, encouraging words, or other support. Love you all. <3
The game engine was recently upgraded which significantly improved game performance, however, I'd like to find a time to revisit this code base and address the remaining issues. Unfortunately with 2 other projects in progress (not to mention a full time job) finding time to dedicate to this project has been difficult so I very much appreciate your continued patience.
Project name change
Hi all! Ada MMO will now be named "Tempus Deorum".
Tempus Deorum translates to "Time of the gods". As much as I love the former name, I think this one is more expressive and better embodies the theme of the game.
Ada RPG announced!
Hi all! I've started a new project named Ada RPG, a chat bot based rpg game. It will be developed alongside Ada MMO.
Ada RPG will be a chat bot on Twitch and later I'll also make it available for Discord. For latest news or if you'd like to beta test this bot in your channel, let me know!
This bot will be fully customizable from Google Sheets for trusted partners. I'm having a lot of fun learning how to make it using Typescript and Node.js.
New Website!
I've completed migrating the studio website to a new host (mainly to save money!).
I'll be updating this section as I have announcements or news regarding Ada MMO development and studio news.
For the very latest info come join us in the Fuzzy Code Studio Discord
For now please enjoy some cat cannons and a gate opening and closing satisfyingly.
