Ragecraft IV Official Trailer and Release Date

I am happy to announce that Ragecraft IV is scheduled to be released on April 7, 10 pm CET, assuming there are no sudden unforeseen issues popping up.

Here is the official trailer, made by Counter_Coffee (thank you!!!).

I want to thank...

RC4 Final Update

Hopefully, this will be the final progress update. I am currently finishing up my own playthrough of the updated version of the map, fixing the remaining bugs and small balance issues. Afterwards, a few of the beta testers will test specific secti...

RC4 Beta Update

Hey guys, a belated happy new year everyone! :-D

I am still working on the beta, and I am considering running a second (shorter) beta test 2.0 with a few people. The beta feedback has been 90% positive, but I am working hard to improve the o...

RC4 Beta Update and Teaser

Beta testing is still progressing nicely! About half of the testers have finished the map, and based on their feedback I have made a large number of (mostly small but meaningful) changes to the map. For instance, I added this little guy at the Nex...

Ragecraft IV Progress: Beta Progress

The beta testing is progressing nicely! The first tester has already finished the map after roughly 50 h of play time. There aren't any huge issues reported so far, but there are many small adjustments that I want to make over the next couple of w...

Ragecraft IV Update: Beta, Baby!

It's finally time. The closed Beta phase has started today!

Big "Thank you!" to the 8 Beta testers, some of which are here on Patreon.

I expect the Beta to take 1-2 months, unless there are MAJOR issues with certain areas that require ...

Ragecraft IV Update: Alpha-Testing completed

After several weeks, I managed to play through the whole map. I had a lot of fun, which is a good sign I guess.

Right now I'm working on fixing a bunch of balance issues and technical bugs which I found during testing. Then, I'll either play...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #20: Possibly the final teaser ...

I've managed to place almost all of the remaining spawners and loot in the map. I still need to finish some smaller mechanistic stuff (e.g. the monument, and a couple of area-based mechanics), and some areas need additional polish. Once that is do...

Progress :-)

I've been making some pretty good progress lately. The mob overhaul is almost done, and I've already placed about two-thirds of the spawners. In parallel, I've been working on finishing the crafting system together with suso. Once the loot and the...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #19: Progress update and short teaser

Good news: I have now finished 100% of actual "construction work" on all areas and sub-areas, aside from some minor aesthetic fine-tuning. I've also made quite a bit of progress with the datapack, finishing most of the item system (aside from plac...

Quick Update ...

I just wanted to let you know that I am indeed still alive, even though I have not posted anything in almost two months ;-)

I have been extremely busy with (real) work over the past couple of weeks, and I have not found much time for mapmaki...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #18: Potions, Debuffs, and Synergies

Over the past month I've been working on boss fights, but I won't spoil any of those. So instead, here is another teaser about item mechanics because someone asked for it :D

Similar to RC3, there are "infinite" splash potions in RC4. Unlike ...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #17: Custom Mobs

I know it's a bit late for that, but happy new year everyone! :-)

I'm almost done with custom mob design for Ragecraft IV. So far, there are over 100 custom mobs, many of which have unique abilities ranging from on-death effects to special a...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #16: Skill System Update

The holidays are coming up, and you know what that means? Time for family, and more importantly: Plenty of time for mapmaking :D

I've made a lot of progress revamping the skill system over the last few weeks, and I wanted to post a short tea...

Ragecraft IV Update: Getting closer ...

I'm happy to report that I have finished building ALL the big areas in the map. Aside from some small side / bonus areas, all of the actual "construction work" is done.

The next big task is overhauling the item system and finishing the craft...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #15: Next milestone

I have finally finished building the LAST area of the map, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm not going to post a teaser of the last area, so here is a screenshot of an early-game area instead ;-)

For transparency, here is a li...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #14: Going deeper

Another late-game area nearly finished, another step closer to the finish line!

"As you descend deeper and deeper into the abyss, mysterious creatures are lurking behind the thick brown mist."

A reminder: If you are a Creeper or Blaze ...

Progress Report

The last few weeks have probably been the most productive in terms of RC4 progress. I'm currently working on areas 15 and 16 (out of 16). After that, the only areas left to build are the first area, the Nexus, and a bunch of smaller stuff. So I'd ...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #13: Good progress

I've made some very good progress lately, nearly finishing two more areas in the last 4 weeks. The screenshot shows the "prelude" section leading into one of the new areas.

I recently switched to 1.19, and I am loving the new blocks. Bonus p...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #12: Black and white

Hey guys! I know I haven't posted anything in a while. I started building a bunch of areas to replace the huge chunks of the map that I had to scrap, but I hadn't finished any of them until recently, so there wasn't much to showcase :D

Fortu...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #11: Hell is not empty

I mentioned a while ago that the super-large open-world caves were causing major lag, so I had to rework most of the map and downsize a bit. To make sure there is still enough content, I am increasing the density of "stuff" that you'll find in the...

Ragecraft IV: Quick status update

Hey guys, sorry for not posting anything in over a month. I took a break from mapmaking, but I've been back at it for a couple of days and I am more motivated than ever.

The first "section" of the map (containing almost half of all objective...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #10: Just hanging around

I've made some good progress lately, and I'm starting to get to some of the later-game areas. Looking out through a broken window in an abandoned building, these ancient hanging structures in the distance look quite menacing.

Bonus points if...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #9: Winter has never really ended

After focusing on mechanics for a while, I have been working on areas again over the last few weeks. With the Holidays approaching, I thought I'd share a small teaser of a nearly finished winter-themed area. Overall, I've build about 50% of all RC...

40!

I just saw that we have reached 40 Patrons today. I wanted to take the chance to thank all the new supporters, and of course all those who have been Patrons for some time!

THANK YOU! :-)

I'm thinking we should do something special if w...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #8: Fire in the hole!

This is a much smaller teaser than the last one, but I still thought I'd share it because I have had a lot of fun playing around with custom potions recently. Offensive potions in Ragecraft IV are all infinitely refilling, and they have no adverse...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #7: Crafting System

Ragecraft IV will have a unique crafting system that allows you to design your own items by adding enchantments (prefix), special abilities (suffix), and attribute upgrades (not shown here) to base items. You can add all at once or one at a time, ...

Ragecraft IV Teaser #6: Anything can kill you

Are you bored of dying to the same old things over and over again? Don't worry, Ragecraft IV will have plenty of new and exciting ways to kill you. How about exploding fungi?

This is a pretty basic example of a threat that is part of the env...

Back to business

Hey guys,

I'm sorry for being absent for a while. After working on RC4 every week for more than half a year, I just needed a creative break. I want to go back to mapmaking this weekend, and I already have some crazy new ideas :D

That b...
