Sol (MMORPG Dev)⚡

👋 Hello world! I am Sol, and I'm a game dev working on a free-to-play MMORPG Solaxia Online! As I create the game, I will be sharing any tips, tricks, and resources I find along the way. Join me on this journey!

New character creation improvements: you can now select a skin color, hair style, hair color, and eye color!

Every hair style now has multiple different colors to choose from! 💈

Eye colors have been adding, starting with black, blue, and brown! 👀👁️

You can now right-click on players to send them a whisper, invite them to trade, or report them! 🖱️

Trade chat has been added! 🗣️ You can now directly chat with your trading partner. This makes it a lot easier to discuss offers and facilitate negotiations!

You can now directly trade items and gold with another player! 💰 This unlocks the game's economy as now a free market can begin to emerge!

You can now send trade invitations to other players using the new "/trade <username>" command! 💸 A notification will appear in the top-left side of your screen, giving you the option to accept or decline.

I added fog to the game as a weather effect! 😶‍🌫️ It's a subtle effect but it really changes the overall mood of the map!

I've enabled a lighting system! 💡 I can now embed real lights on the map, allowing for more dynamic and immersive maps!

With the new hair system added, you can choose from 8 different hairs to customize your character! 💈

@Glitchy_Lantern As a Phaser user as well, any chance this gets open-sourced?

No screenshots this Saturday — just the invisible magic that makes them possible We forked Phaser 4.0, added WebGL 2.0 — proper arrays, NPOT textures, VAOs, and more Full write-up 👇 🔗glitchylanterngames.itch.io/circolo/devlog… #gamedev #indiedev #phaser #WebGL2 #TypeScript #screenshotsaturday

Skin colors have been added and there are now 4 options to choose from! 😀

Brand new map! ✨ The market map using brand new tiles and music is where you can talk to Fern the Merchant to buy and sell items. 🏪

In addition to holding your items, storages can now also hold your gold! 🪙

The new Quick Access menu gives you easy access to your inventory, equipment, skills, stats, and quests! ✨

I'm going to switch from Next.js to TanStack Start once 1.0 drops 🙏

You can now move up and down! 🏃 Simple, yet massive update!

You can now whisper other players to start a private chat! 🤫 Simply use the /whisper command and a chatbox gets created with them! youtube.com/watch?v=y8_ves…
