Eternal Ember

From the darkness comes and enemy no man was prepared for. Nations gather with a common enemy, and prepare themselves for war. But you must not only face this enemy with your strength, you must face them with your heart.

The World

Human Townsmen.
Elven Nomads.
Giant Tribesmen.
​Three races live in unity, forged by the threat of the Dracon.

​The Dracon, an ancient race that live in the black and scalded northern lands known as the Dragon Lands. For millennia, the Dracon have lived in the barren, black lands to the north. But this is about to change.

Who will you be?

From humble beginnings, choose your path.
Be a Soldier. Be a Scholar. Be a Builder.
Or be so much more.

Updates [GAME ON HOLD]:

Conflicting source control tools have ripped giant chunks out of the project. 
Development is on hold until I can devote enough time to make it work. 
​
My last update before that​:
New level design tools! 
I found an environment pack that perfectly ​matches my aesthetic goals. Heres a gif of it in action!

Here is an export of my current task list, just so you can see my process!

​Work to do:

• Waypoint system
  • Use the circle dungeon assets
  • Tie to position persistence. Instead of saving precise position, save last waypoint, and then load there on game resume. So much easier!
• Persistence
  • Position
  • Statistics
  • Story / Quest progression
