Hey guys, it’s been awhile but October has been pretty busy so far. Catching up with school and working towards landing a 6 month project to do Mobile App Testing so I been preparing for that. Not much details about this project just yet since my Manager presented the short term project to us recently so I will find out soon. I know we have to interview for it and I saw the prep and it looks somewhat easy with a minor things that I’m familiar with but not enough to go into details so I will work on that.

Hello October 1st! It’s been awhile since we worked on this but now that time is freeing up, this month will be a little busy as we finished the template of the Beta maps, only thing left is to make it pretty! we have finished templating the first village, the training caves, nearby areas that takes you to the first cave/tunnel that will take you to the 2nd village available in the Prologue.

Hey guys, A small update as in there probably be less development time this week due to studying and I’m seeing a concert and just going to relax from the pc every once in awhile but I’ll still blog. But once the weekend hits I’ll be doing more work. I finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and it’s a sweet game. Thinking of playing it again in the Winter. But I’m currently setting up my Wii to run retroarch on my CRT TV (13’ Toshiba TV with a built in DVD-Player) to play some old classic RPGS to get some inspirations in terms of storylines, mapping, and art inspirations.

Nothing much to say. Just been a slow week getting back into the groove of things since I got back from vacation. I am currently learning how to do pixel art and been on the drawing boards for the MUD which I will announce soon. Will give you the engine that I am working on which is MirageMUD. This MUD will follow the structure of Ember Online but will take place in Space.

Not a dev log but just a quick history of the game series and why I want to make this the way it is now. At the time of this writing, Hollowground is the current work in project with many other projects I have on the pipeline, which also includes the Cartuga - Definitive Edition. I was able to find the original source, thankfully I had it up on my Github so I will take a look, rebalance it, add some new stuff and re-release it.

If you guys are wondering what the HG stands for in the title, it’s the name of the game now. So moving forward, Hollowgrounds is the name of the main game where Gralina will be the first Episode/Chapter of the game. With the 2nd Episode, being an expansion. I’m expecting the dev lifespan at the rate that we are going is at least a year and a half. Server will be up until someone beats the game and then after that the server will be up for at least another year or until the server dies (if I decided to get like a 3 year server plan, etc)

Hello everyone, welcome to my first Dev Log. A written one at that because I feel like I can probably write what I want instead of freestyling on the top of my head. Anyways, I wanted to let you guys know that I brought Gralina back from the dead. Originally a RPG Maker MV game as a sequel to my class-project, Cartuga, I decided to turn this one into an online game.

Before I get right to it, I just wanted to announce that I proably be closing my original blog that I had running for almost a decade at https://djknitex.wordpress.com. It’s seen better days and now that I’m more focused on my professional career than my non-existent esports and music career. I might as well pivot over here. Needless to say, I will continue blogging but I will be more active on this one.

It’s August 31st. The end of August and I have to say that I have relearned a lot of stuff in terms of programming but I’m happy to pick up where I left off. I have decided to enroll into Calbright College since it’s free for students in California for their Cyber Security program where we can learn and obtain CompTIA Security+ Certificate, which is an industry standard. My goal with this program is to add this to my portfolio and level up in my career.

So I began learning how to program DM, Dream Maker (The Language Byond uses) and its been very fun. I have seen this a very long time ago and wasn’t very appealing at the time haha. Byond stands for Build Your Own Net Dream and that’s what I’m going to do. I began going through some documentation and watching a few videos to get a hang of things and I think I’ll be comfortable enough with it by the end of the year to publish something.
