Evolution of Game Development

The developer began programming at a young age, initially experimenting with an old computer and simple programming languages. This early exposure led to the creation of games and inspirations drawn from notable roguelikes like Angband. After receiving a cease and desist letter, the developer transitioned to a more original concept, building a world that aligned more closely with their vision rather than existing IPs like Tolkien's. This pivotal moment led to a unique narrative structure for Tome 4, enabling the developer to fully realize their creative ideas in a cohesive setting.
