everything's coming together: a new website

+{{date}}
+#webdev

-Blessfrey is a 2D action RPG developed in Godot Engine for PC by Chimchooree in the USA. Its major inspiration is Guild Wars 1.
+

Everything's coming together. I've been learning a lot and think I'm finally ready to start sharing my work.

+
+

+

I've had a mostly solid horizontal slice of Blessfrey ready for a while, and this cycle of system revamps is finally able to support the sophistication of content I want. When I finish this iteration of skill systems and AI, I will be ready to make a real demo release of Blessfrey!

+
+

I don't know why it never occurred to me that I don't have to hold back my website waiting on that demo, though. Releasing and publishing is an important skill in itself. I threw together No-Legs the Cat in a few hours, exported it, hosted it on itch.io, and embedded what is currently the crown jewels of my website. Finally! I have a gamedev website with a playable game on it.

+
+

All this time, my website maintenance skills have been getting stronger. I've been documenting my development process since 2018 and writing it in a blog-friendly format for 2 years now. My artist's block has dissipated, so drawing concept art and character designs is no longer like pulling teeth. I've also spent a year trying different languages and frameworks and have more confidence in my web development.
