New milestone for Magickness™.

Implemented a complete terrain → inventory → loot bag → pickup resource loop inside a multiplayer voxel world.

We've also cemented PC ↔ Android shipping pipeline.

@yabsssai oh, and initially in blender, you also want to analyze the skeletons. Different character bases may come with different style armatures. You have to make sure structure and naming match with your base target.
Having both character bases in the scene with matching pose...

Dev Log #13 — integrating an AI-assisted animation pipeline into Magickness™.
HY-Motion → Blender → UE5 → custom retarget workflow.
The focus is scalability and faster gameplay iteration.

@yabsssai The HyMotion anims aren't perfect. Using the HyMotion fbx as a base, I can import into Blender and tweak as desired. Then, upload from Blender to UE5.
The "digging" animation will definitely need some rework.

Cross-platform infrastructure milestone reached for Magickness™ 🥳

The current multiplayer build is now running on both PC + Android 🎮📱

Dev Log #12 — milestone checkpoint.

We now have a working game state:
• morality integrated into combat
• ability leveling
• UI + settings navigation

Systems are no longer isolated — they’re interacting.

@yabsssai The morality system is still WIP. Its currently tied to combat flow and stores an overall state. It'll be tied to some quest lines but won't affect abilities and stats until "end game".

[domtechgaming @domtechgaming]

Dev Log #11 — We now have a full player flow:

account creation → character → early progression loop

Multiple systems now connected:
AI, UI, abilities, stats, morality, inventory.

Foundation is becoming playable.

@AppLauncher_App I definitely agree! A robust foundation is priority number one when building systems.
