Hi everyone! It's been a while since the last update here… For the past two months, I've been working on SWOM almost every day, from morning until evening. Sometimes I'd sit down to fix one thing and end up working on something completely different… Writing a devlog while developing the game is hard, so there's a lot to read today (but I hope you'll find it interesting). In the previous devlog,…
Hello everyone! 👋🏼 You may have noticed that I have been a little quiet lately and put my videos and other content on hold.

Hello everyone! Let me tell you what interesting things have happened lately: • New PC I now have a new PC. For the past five years, I've been working on an inexpensive gaming laptop, and over time it started to severely limit development.

Hi everyone! What's new today? First off, I want to note that we are slowly gaining momentum and building a community of people interested in the game.

Hey everyone! Here's what's new today ⏩ I'm continuing my work on level design 💻 Most likely, in every devlog for the next few months, I'll be sharing a bit about this process. 📎 What have I done so far? ❗️ Working on the " ****** Mountain" location level design: created the first settlement 🏠 and started building the first cave 🗻 You can see snippets of the work-in-progress on my social me…
Hey everyone! 😎 What's new with me? FPS Optimization: Let me start by saying—I've conquered the FPS issue! My map is huge and packed with content, including tons of tree resources. Right now, the entire map features around 67,000 (❗️) bushes and trees, plus roughly 10,000 twigs, mushrooms, and other small details 🍄. Standard optimizations like occlusion culling, LODs, object pooling, and the…
