Building the First Crafting & Progression Loop for an MMORPG (UE5 Dev Log #16)

One of the most important milestones in MMORPG development is creating a gameplay loop that players can naturally progress through.

Dev Log #16 completes the first version of that loop in Magickness™.

Players can now:

Gather resources from the world
Craft tools
Equip those tools
Unlock access to additional resources
Earn experience
Track progression through skills

The current progression path looks like this:

Gather Stick + Vine + Stone

Craft Stone Hammer

Mine Rocks

Gather Flint

Craft Stone Axe

Unlock Future Harvesting Systems

XP is currently awarded for digging, mining, and crafting, with progression visible through the Character Skills interface.

This is the first time multiple gameplay systems have connected together into a complete player progression chain.
