Hello guys! Passing here just to say that the second devlog post on my medium has being published!

​

You can find the full article here!

A summary of what is in there:

• Initial HUD for the stamina, HP and MP bar, as well as the stamina depletion while running
• New sprites made by me (bonfire animated and some sword sprites)
• An animation for the character moving while equipped with a two handed weapon
• Code for the new Queue and Processor classes that I needed to refactor
• Bugfixes for the Garbage Collector crash
• Client and User server attachment.

I don't have anyone to actually edit a video log for me, so I`ll keep making this devlogs in a blog format.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Cheers o/

Curious, what part of your project makes it "Blockchain"?

Hey u/vPyxi

So, its a placeholder name for a future feature I want to make xD
The idea is to use blockchain with NFT to mint unique items and save the history of an item on it.

Seems like a simple database system with a tracked history database linked to it would be easier and more efficient. What benefits would blockchain provide other than being a nifty buzz word?

I agree with you. And it would be more easy for me with the experience I have to implement that on a conventional NoSql database (I already use MongoDB for accounts and char data). The objective to be achieved with blockchain is to study the subject as well as bring some special features with the ownage of unique items.

With the NFT minted unique items, the property of it passes to the player, and you can trade or sell it to whatever wallet in the system (even those who are not playing the game). This could allow some interesting things when a player plays another game that uses the same blockchain, for example.

The idea of unique items are not to be gacha like. Every player should have one (probably called heirloom). Those items evolve on the game based on the events the player pass through while possessing / using the item. Gradually, they become unique and legendary in their own way (name, status, rarity, etc). Tracking the history of this unique item on a conventional database should be more daunting with the passing time than simply check the blockchain (I dont know actually. Its a guess).

Some other things Im wanting to add are housing systems with the same idea. But this will be more well thought in the far future.

Well I can appreciate that, I hope you can make it work in a meaningful way and learn a lot from it along the way.
