[Dev Log] Work in progress

Dad72

I just saw a major bug when we created a new project. Since no object was created, a promise was not resolved and so the loading of the editor ran in a loop.

So I just released a version 2.4.1 that fixes this.
See the announcement for more information on this version :
https://www.realm-crafting.com/forum/d/28-release-realm-crafting-v241/2

I continue to try to stabilize the whole thing since version 2.0 which has had many changes. And it was difficult for me to detect all the problems. I am also counting on you to point out to me what you think is a problem so that I can quickly correct what I might miss.

🚀 Realm-Crafting 2.5 – Character Editor Improvements

For version 2.5, I made a major improvement to the Character Editor! Until now, you could create characters from an existing mannequin and customize them with textures. Then you could apply the animations you needed. But this limited us to characters having the same size and morphology… 😅

🎉 New feature: import your own characters !
Whether it’s a monster, robot, zombie, warrior, elf, or anything you want, you can now import it directly into the editor.

✨ To make it work perfectly, I integrated an animation retargeting system for your imported characters. You can still choose animations from the existing list and apply them to your character regardless of its size: the animations will remain accurate and faithful.
This is a huge step forward that gives you much more creative freedom for your characters.

⚡ I also improved the mesh selection system in the editor: now faster, more optimized.

💡 Coming soon / planned features:

A clustered lighting system to optimize scenes with many lights.
Adding background music for your scenes! The effects system is already in place, so the only missing part for 2.5 is the music.

🛠️ I’m also gradually progressing on a small SCI-FI demo, which won’t be complete but will let you see what the editor can do.

⏳ I don’t know yet when version 2.5 will be released, as I have other commitments outside Realm-Crafting development, but I’m moving forward step by step.

See you soon! 👋

Hello,

Version 2.5 Released — Work on 2.6 Has Begun

Now that version 2.5 is out, I’ve started working on version 2.6.

For this new version, I’m focusing on everything related to networking, with the goal of enabling multiplayer games. I’m aiming for something around 300 to 350 simultaneous players, which would already be a great result. Of course, this will also depend on the power of the hosting server.

The server side is already in place:

Node.js + clustering
Redis
MySQL

It’s functional and performs well so far.
I’ve also added the ability to configure a MySQL database connection directly from the editor.

Next, I’ll be working on the client side. I’m still exploring the best approach, but it will likely involve behavior scripts along with some properties in object and character settings.

This won’t be fully operational in version 2.6 yet, but the core architecture will be in place, and I’ll continue improving it in future updates.

A quick note:
Version 2.6 might take a bit longer to release. I’ve started some work at home — I’m rebuilding my entire desk in solid oak. At some point, I’ll need to clear everything to repaint the walls, which means I’ll be without my PC for about 1–2 weeks. Development will resume right after that.

Thanks for your patience 👍
