Rootfallen: Labyrinth's Echo

Solo indie dev learning game development from scratch. Creating Rootfallen: Labyrinth's Echo — a sandbox fantasy adventure with permadeath dungeon exploration.

It’s been a while since I started this project. Slowly but surely, it has begun to take shape.

No progress posts for a bit, I’m diving into MH Wilds for some reference hunting.
🤓😬

I think the mining system is almost done. The stamina and MP bars are now fully functional😗

The stamina system for dodging hasn’t been implemented yet, so I’m using MP instead for now.

So many things have happened in the past few days, but the progress seems to be in a good phase.
Here’s what’s new:

- Added directional dodge
- You can’t mine while in combat mode
- You can enter combat mode while mining, in case an enemy attacks
- MP is drained after using skills
- Added MP regeneration ability

Testing mining feature and damage calculations 🛠️ #rootfallen #unrealengine #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #showmeSunday

Animation stuff is quite challenging, duh. But the progress has been good so far. I think I’m gonna work on the SFX to refresh my brain so I don’t get burned out.

Would you add my game to your wishlist? 🥹

Struggling with this animation stuff. It seems to work, but I think I spawned the weapon the wrong way😂 #UE5 #Rootfallen #gamedev #devlog

@M_hamid_dev Thanks!

@yellowdemongame Clean and efficient, love it!

[Rootfallen: Labyrinth's Echo @rootfallen_dev]

I've been working on widgets for Leveling and Boss HP over the past 4 days. It’s been pretty fun experimenting with VFX too!

What about you — what was your biggest struggle when making your game?

Just a simple concept for the Labyrinth. Or would it be better to use a portal and load a new level instead?

The texture is pretty good, can’t stop staring at it 😂

UI Update:
Death screen, damage feedback, and respawn now working!
In the Labyrinth, death comes at a cost — you’ll lose everything in your inventory.
