The crafting system, especially with spells, takes a little bit of direction but it is also really powerful. The spell in the screen shot above for example lets you launch flaming sheep at your enemies! I also spent some time reorganizing the build for Spoxel so I could separate out the code to make a dedicated server for the multiplayer component.<\/p>\n<p>The next big task on my plate is reworking the character model. Spoxel&#8217;s art style has slowly evolved over time. When I first started creating the game I was going to do a very voxel art like style. This has slowly morphed over time. For example this is what the game used to look like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-117\" src=\"http:\/\/epagagames.com\/spoxel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/first_test-1024x628.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"http:\/\/epagagames.com\/spoxel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/first_test-1024x628.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/epagagames.com\/spoxel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/first_test-300x184.jpg 300w, http:\/\/epagagames.com\/spoxel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/first_test-768x471.jpg 768w, http:\/\/epagagames.com\/spoxel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/first_test.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So there has been a pretty significant upgrade over time. Once the base model and skins are done I have to rework all the armor items too so there is a fair amount of work involved. After that I am going to take a laser focus on content and polish. There are a lot of cool things coming soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been far too long since I&#8217;ve posted an update to the website.
