The storage crate in my 2D MMORPG Eldros gives a little bounce when you hover it, and a white outline shows up. It's your character's bank, so the items stay after you log out. #gamedev #pixelart

Health bars in Eldros can move now. Creatures like the bug get their own health bar, and you can unlock your player health bar and place it wherever you like. Fixed or movable: which do you prefer? #gamedev #indiedev

How hits work in Eldros now: your swing connects from your accuracy alone. Accuracy 4 is 60%, each point above that adds 5%, up to 95%. Wands always connect. #gamedev

Fishing in my 2D MMORPG Eldros: right-click a water tile and the splash plays on that tile. You need a fishing rod in your bag. #gamedev #pixelart

AFK in Eldros: stand still for 15 minutes without chatting, fighting or clicking and you're sent back to character select. Close the window and others stop seeing you after about 60 seconds. #gamedev

The rat from my 2D MMORPG Eldros. 20 HP, 5 XP, and 1 in 50 it drops a rat tail you can sell. Each extra rat next to you adds 2 to a hit, so a group can push through light gear. #gamedev #pixelart

Small Eldros fix: reopening the game is meant to sign you back in (sessions last 24 hours) and open your character list. In testing it kept saying "already logged in". Fixed now. #gamedev

Out for a walk in my 2D MMORPG Eldros. The game is built around exploration, and the world feels like one continuous place, so you just pick a direction and go. Where would you head first? #gamedev #pixelart

New Defence reward in Eldros: when a creature dies, you get Defence XP equal to the blood-hit damage it dealt you. 1+4+5+2 = 12. Each blood hit still gives 1 right away. #gamedev

Class numbers from Eldros: everyone starts at 100 HP, then each level gives a warrior 25 HP, a hunter 15 and a mage 5. Carry capacity grows the same way, warrior the most and mage the least. Warrior, hunter or mage? #gamedev #mmorpg

Meet Rovan, the fisher in Eldros. He sells the fishing rod you need to start fishing. Bring worms in your bag. #gamedev #pixelart

The Options menu in my 2D MMORPG Eldros. On the VFX tab you can turn off combat effects, damage numbers, heal numbers, attack hit and footsteps, for your own character and for other players separately. Which ones would you keep on? #gamedev #indiedev

Quick tour of the Eldros website. You can download Eldros (Windows only), but it's not a launch: it's still in development and will have bugs. I want players in it to test the connection and help me build it. What should I add to the site? #gamedev #indiedev

How fast you walk in Eldros: 100 pixels per second, +1 for each level above 1, plus the speed on your equipped items. The stats panel shows the number. #gamedev

Dying in Eldros leaves your body on the ground where you fell, and other players see it for a while. You get a "You died" panel with one button: Respawn. Should death in an MMO cost you something? #gamedev #mmorpg

Next devlog, the health box in Eldros gets much simpler. It's too bulky now, and you'll probably be able to right click and move it. Enemies will get a bar that pops up when you right click them. How do you like your UI? #gamedev #indiedev

Spot it, fight it, loot it. The Bug in Eldros has 30 HP and gives 10 XP, so it's about 23 bugs to level 2. #gamedev

Here's the orc from my 2D MMORPG Eldros. 74 HP, 36 XP, and its loot bag can have meat, broken coins, an orc tusk you can sell (1 in 100), or a battle axe (1 in 80). #gamedev #pixelart

Eldros has an attack cooldown icon now, so you can see when your attack is on cooldown. Right now it's two seconds, so you can attack once and start kiting. Later augmented gear might change it. Do you kite or stand and fight? #gamedev #indiedev

Small loot detail in Eldros: every creature always drops worms, from 1-2 on a rat up to 1-20 on a troll. They're for fishing, and fishing is how you get food. #gamedev

Hooded has quests for you in my 2D MMORPG Eldros, and the marker over his head shows it. Accept one and it goes into your quest log and the side tracker. Untick it to hide it from the tracker. What quest should he give next? #gamedev #pixelart

Eldros has a high score tab. Pick a category: levels, axe, sword or club fighting, magic, distance and Defence. It shows name, level, total experience and class. Which list would you try to top? #gamedev #indiedev

Big goblin for today, from my game Eldros. 1 in 150 it drops a bronze dagger. #gamedev #pixelart

Kept combat simple in Eldros. Your swing connects on accuracy, starting at 60% and capped at 95%, and a creature only hurts you when its roll gets over your armor. Do you like simple hit rules in an MMO, or more layers? #gamedev #mmorpg

I added a game world chat to Eldros. Local chat only reaches the people around you, but world chat reaches players anywhere in the world. Do you chat in local or in world? #gamedev #indiedev

The website for my 2D MMORPG Eldros is eldros.app. There is a bestiary on it too, where you can search the creatures and see their stats and loot. #gamedev

Happy Halloween from Eldros. The skeleton is a grave that stood up, so it doesn't eat and there's no food in its loot bag. But 1 in 300 it drops a Saber, a Bone Club or a Bone Shield. #gamedev #pixelart

There are blueberry bushes in Eldros now. They shake and make a sound when you hover over them. Each bush has three blueberries that grow back in about a minute. What else should you be able to pick? #gamedev #indiedev

Funny bug in Eldros: a spear throw got refused if there was no arrow in the quiver. Fixed it, so the throwing spear stays in your hand and just throws. #gamedev #indiedev

Little chest polish in Eldros. A chest has a yellow outline while there's still loot in it, goes white when you hover it, and gives a little hop when you open it. Once it's empty the outline is gone. #gamedev #pixelart
