Tagspire

Building Tagspire – a tag-powered game engine.
Everything changes with a tag.
Follow for the journey.

One of the hardest refactors I've done so far.

Chunk streaming, shared world state, cross-chunk pickups, and a complete lighting overhaul. Performance still needs work, but the foundation is finally coming together.

@BANGYANGYAO Agreed. Refactoring isn't glamorous, but it opens the door for features that would have been much harder to build otherwise.

@ColdBanner Thanks! Getting chunk streaming and lighting working together took a lot longer than expected, but it's finally coming together.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Chunk streaming changes everything.

The world is no longer limited to a single map. You can keep moving, keep exploring, and the world keeps loading around you.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Stress testing my chunk-streaming Python ECS engine after traveling 500+ chunks continuously.

Dynamic lighting, fog of war, and multi-chunk rendering all running live.

@kaangameaudio I don’t have a contact for collaboration available, but thanks for reaching out.

Chunked world streaming system with dynamic lighting and caching. Footage is sped up (5x) #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine #devlog

@MANbari_beats Thanks for the message. I’m not looking for external collaboration on this project, but I appreciate you reaching out. If anything changes in the future, I’ll reach out.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

@Solestia_JRPG Thanks — still early WIP, but it’s coming together.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

This is an early WIP of a chunk-based world engine. Some visual glitches and lighting artifacts are still being worked on, especially around chunk transitions and dynamic lighting. Performance and stability are actively being improved.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

@LuckShiomi Thanks! I’m still early in development and not working on audio yet, but I’ll keep your info in mind for later stages.

Clone #1 didn’t stand a chance.
Clone #2 tried to escape. Didn’t work either. 😅
Testing AI behaviors, combat, and persistent corpses in Tagspire.

Suddenly every fight leaves evidence behind — corpses persist even when leaving the level.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Enemies stay dead—corpses persist after fights. Adds weight to every encounter.

@BobClowdr Thanks! Glad the lighting effect comes through

@MostaphaJl Hey, thanks for reaching out—I’ll check your work out 👍

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

@Radiobush Glad you like it 👍

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Built it to be simple, but scalable — can stack multiple layers with independent parallax.

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Multi-layer parallax background added
Feels way more alive already.

@littlemisscanna Yeah, black killed all the depth.
Even a simple background makes a huge difference

[Tagspire @Tagspire]

Testing different background directions.

Same scene, different feel.
