- September 2026 Update Log - 3 September 2026
Sup you sexy sons of bitches(and non sons of bitches i guess) The image above issss a little modification i made to nullsuite. Now it compiles all the categories into a lump sum ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ignore the "work" and "AU Work" >.> i changed the classification name. but they're both "work" for me. ONLY thing this program DOESN'T do...is track my time away from the computer. cause well. i'm not on it clicking things. so. that total is... wrong. too low. and "mixed" is firefox and discord. to explain that, uh. Firefox is mixed cause i do all my github stuff on there, as well when i test websites it opens on firefox cause its my default so 🤷 idk how many of the firefox hours are "work". probably not a lot. same with discord. mostly my main chatting program, but also where i work on DP cause of server + bots + set up and blah blah blah.so. who the hell knows. ANYWAYS onto what I did this month.Fal…

Hi again! :DWasn't too long since the last post, but after putting together the DP Q&A, I figured there was enough going on that it deserved its own update.(There's a TL;DR at the bottom if you don't feel like reading my ramblings. I won't judge. Probably. Might cry a little though.)First Off - Daemon Protocol I've been... busy. Not really coding, surprisingly.Building. Not the game itself. The **foundation** of it. I always knew what Icolass **was**. What I never stopped to ask was..Turns out that's a much harder question. Because while I knew what I wanted *Daemon Protocol* to be as a game...I didn't really know how that fit with Icolass as a realm.Which, to be fair,..is understandable. Icolass is an anomaly. It wasn't really created by the gods. It's not supposed to exist.🤔 It's place in Ardron's timeline is basically one giant headache wearing a trench coat.So instead of asking "Wh…
- Daemon Protocol Q&A - 22 July 2026
Q: Well, what is it? A: i don't even know anymore :v I'd technically classify it as a MUD? (Multi-user Dungeon)but that aint accurate either...as a mud is just a... text based MMORPG....which I /guess/ DP fits into. But it will also have images, and be not just a dungeon you play through. IDFK. it's weird. I don't think there is a "genre label" for what DP is.Q: You said "DP is free to play", but I have to own AU to play it?A: Yeah, nah actually. UH. Through my headbashing attempts at building websites. I've...been working on making the DP "Log in" thing.... a website on github. So... No. you won't need AU to play it. It will be completely "free". Free as in...you can do everything, but as always, you can donate to ko-fi to get some extra perks 🤷Now that being said. I am a very strong advocate against "Pay 2 win" type deals. The perks will be completely unnecessary, They will just make…

Welp.First... yeah. It's July 4th. I took a little longer than I expected. 😅Anyway, news....I'm moving Daemon Protocol back to Discord.This also means it'll no longer be part of Ardron Universe as a standalone always-online game. The AU infrastructure I built isn't being ripped out (I can simply disable it) but DP itself is returning to its roots. After spending... months (before starting work on Nullsuite) prototyping both approaches, I realized something:I spent almost all of my time building infrastructure instead of building the game.The networking worked. The backend worked. The concepts worked....but I wasn't actually making Daemon Protocol. I'm one person. I'd rather spend my time ... making Games rather than... AAA studio server software infrastructure.Discord already solves a lot of those problems for me.It isn't perfect, but it gives me authentication, communities, messaging,…
- Elusia Has Found Footing... - 24 June 2026
Hi there.... I know it's not the 3rd yet, but to hell with it. I have news, and its gonna be rambly~ (Not the Raccoon)I've basically finished NullSuite. cept for minor bugs and what not (and a nullmonitor UI redesign, but idgaf about that atm) - That means full steam ahead to work on Ardron UniverseProject Elusia has finally found its permanent form.So. Concerning #2. I wasn't really thinking about it. I been way too deep into python coding that, but like I said in the last update. I can't escape this universe/game ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯Sometimes I day dream, and end up writing mechanics and lore and all that good stuff in the middle of working on other things. this was (kinda) one of those times. So. I was discussing the new AoA spell system with my buddy Synand then that led me down a wild tangent. A discussion about lore, the information during the 10k war. and how things went. and it kept going…

Sadly no updates this month on Ardron Universe. TL;DR i'm not "Working" but i'm also not NOT working on AU.I'm still programming things for everyone in my house going to Linux so they don't have to remember 98327947234 terminal commands, or keep asking me for them. as well as designing programs for myself so I don't have to as well. and making things for myself to help me be a better game dev. On another note, I hate to say it, but streaming a bunch of random games, reminded me why i loved making mine so much. So while i didn't do any programming for Ardron Universe, or any Assets for UI or anything.... I did have a very lengthly talk some mechanics in AoA. Aaaaaaaaand spells will be done differently now. This means creating a bit more UI for spells and hooking that up (won't take long. it's just a panel overlay lol) BUT. i've taken my work from 0/7 levels of spells to 1/7 levels of spe…

Feb 3- Feb 10 Dev Log – DP structureBefore the server pivot, DP itself was being tightened.Originally, each class had 40 abilities. That was dumb.Reduced it to 10 per class (1 per 10 levels instead of 1 per 5).Hunter ✔ Monk ✔ Rogue ✔All those classes are DONE.Added new weapons. Added a party system.DP core gameplay stabilized.Work slowed briefly because I was sick. Stupid flu DP design still moved forward.This week was mostly: Balancing. Trimming scope. Locking in class identity.Feb 10 - Feb 17 Dev Log – Infrastructure & DP ChangesAlright. This is going to be a ramble. F in the chat for Discord. The Headless Server SagaI spent an unreasonable amount of time getting a headless server running properly.Documentation is outdated. Examples are half broken. Nothing explains the full pipeline.(It was bad enough that I seriously considered making an updated tutorial.)But it’s working now.Dedica…

JAN 1/4/26 EDIT:I noticed a bug that wouldn't let you go forward in the new quiz. Patched that. sent out an update for the demo :)Also stress tested the game on a virtual machine. Windows 10 2 GB of DDR4 RAM 2 core CPU 258mb of VRAM 5200RPM HDDIt loaded, and made it to the AoA player game side in 4.87 seconds. If the game don't run. your OS don't run.That's all. Toodles! oh uh. I never say that. ===============Alrighty. Quick Run down of what i've done. Even though holidays stopped me a lot, and i'm not supposed to work in December.:D Who cares! So, when we last left off I was working on Homebrew creation.👍 Got that all done. You can now create Homebrew in engine.ALSO. for those who don't want to make a ko-fi account just to unlock homebrew? It's now available in the in game shop. for... 666 coins. Yeah that'll take a while to get. It's priced that way so you actually know the game wel…
- December 2025 Update Log - 5 December 2025
Welp. Figured I should do a work update. It's been about a month. Currently working on: HOME BREW for AOA.and trying to make it not take 8 minutes to load. I /know/ I should be working on the GM side, but no. I don't wanna. I"m having more fun creating home brew setup.wellreally...All homebrew loading and using already works. what im really making here is the in game homebrew creator.because I seriously doubt you want to open up a fuckin .json file and type it all that out like that.anyways. works been slow, been dealing with a death in the family, and having to travel across state lines to deal with it(FUN). also RIP. Thats been distressing the house, and honestly burnt me out. So i took a small 3 day break. but I'm back on my bullshit. Also been strengthening the netcoding between GM and Player. adding features and what not like players using items on other players and tracking refund…
