Meet the Gods of Kirandur

The many peoples of Kirandur are governed by rules. Rules of nature, of life, of ideas. And those that uphold these laws of life are the gods, presented here. Meet your guardians, friends, and may they all bless you.

Empowering designers to compose behavior without Touching Code

The first attempt

So this all began when I was working on our inventory item system. Initially, I thought items could be classes, with configurable fields that will be exposed via the in-game editor to allow non-programmer designers to make variations.

Building our MMO Engine from Scratch: a brief overview

Welcome, traveler, to the beginning.

Thank you all for coming to our first show! There will be more, so keep your eye...

Today is the day Kirandur comes to life.

I bring you Episode One in a series of short mini documentary style audio productions, which will detail the continents of Kirandur. Someday, even, they might describe individual places in more detail. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of Kirandur.

Hey everyone! I'm posting this small audio recording to show a bit of the progress we've made. Not all of it, but some of it. Kirandur is still very much in the works, but it's progressing nicely, and I'm so proud that something this good is coming of something I made. Thanks again to my team at The Kuloran Players, and of course, ByteBender. Yall are amazing. Enjoy this snapshot!
