Welcome to the Necromancer Rising Devlog

My indie game development journey — raw, real, and without shortcuts.

Here, I share the process of creating Necromancer Rising, a dark fantasy roguelite built entirely in Unreal Engine.

About This Devlog

In this update, I worked on creating the first version of a portal gate system for map travel.
Currently, the portals are static, meaning they always lead to specific maps. My next goal is to evolve this into a randomized teleportation system, so each run feels unique and unpredictable.

I also added visual effects to the portals to better match the Necromantic tone of the game.
There are no sound effects yet — I won’t focus on audio (like footsteps, portal sounds, etc.) until every core system is fully in place and I’m completely satisfied with the gameplay foundation.

This step brings the world of Necromancer Rising closer to life, one ritual at a time.

About Me & the Project

I’m completely new to game development and Unreal Engine.

Born in 1972, I’m a retired gamer starting this as a personal passion project.
The game and the Etsy shop are officially owned by my Thai girlfriend, while I focus entirely on design and development.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve played MMORPGs, Diablo, Path of Exile, and countless other games.
Eventually, I felt something was missing. Two major ideas grew in my mind, and now I’m bringing one of them to life:

Necromancer Rising — an offline, single-player, dark fantasy roguelite.

For now, it will remain offline-only.
Maybe one day it could come to Steam, but my current mission is to stay true to the original vision and create a deeply personal game experience.

I’m also completely new to streaming and YouTube, so my devlogs are raw and unpolished, showing the real, step-by-step journey of learning game development from scratch.
