I built a new game dev tool solo; Figured it might be useful for you guys, so I decided to share it
TLDR at the bottom
I've been into gamedev for a while now; for some years, I've been trying to develop a horror game that I would like to play (I dislike the idea behind jump scares, I want to build something that's both equally beautiful and horrifying), and after starting a new project this last time, I thought "how can I do these things faster?". So while I was on figma building a map and designing how the game should look, I remembered the days where I tried to make a procedural room on Unreal Engine 5, and thought "hmmm I could do an app for this - build the map in the tool, and it would make me the geometry in the engine".
After I started the development for the tool, I thought "well I could add X too, it would be useful" and it ended up turning into a quite big tool. I was big on making it useful for UE5, but after a while I thought that it could be useful to others if I added a few other things here and there, and it ended up being a tool I could use for any gamedev project. Want to change in-game item data? Well, change it in the tool and import the data in the engine/framework -- everything is JSON, in disc.
I asked a few friends to try it, but none of them are really game devs - there's a reason I'm solo, I'm an alien living in space, and unfortunately my WOW signals didn't really find anyone else. They all think the app is good (or they're really good liars, idk that yet, I'm easily jebaited) and one of them told me I should share it with others. Because of it, I worked on a video to show how the app works, so you can give it a look. It's shareware, too, so you can just download it if you want to.
TLDR: Built a design+management tool (characters, items, audio, everything except dinosaurs) that exports JSON data so you can easily use it in your engine or framework, watch video here or go to the website here.
