DevBlog #12 - Game

     Hey guys, sorry for the long time off, I wanted to take a brain break from the project and relax for a bit. I also had finals and a bunch of things happening in my life on a personal level. However, I am back, and roaring to go with a major update.

    I have just completed the MVP code for the tech tree. The tech tree now allows you to research almost all of the techs (Just have more busy work, dragging and dropping to actually complete). When researching it takes into account the current era, what you have previously researched, the amount of gold you have, etc. Then once you research it, it adds the cards to the deck to be "shuffled". Which really means storing the game objects in a large array and randomly picking them based on buffs/debuffs from either having or not having a form of government.

    I also made it so that the color of the tech display changes based on what the scriptable object says the card color should be. This will keep everything smooth as changing the color for an entire card/tech will just require changing one field and the rest of the changes will propagate throughout the system.

    I know it doesn't sound like a lot was accomplished but this took a bunch of time for the logic, and completing all of the busy work. Please stayed tuned for more updates as the pace of the game should be progressing quicker than ever now that summer has pretty much started and all finals are finished.

    Thanks, good bye, and keep dreaming.

    More progress has been made, and I feel like a million bucks because of this game.     1) Tech Tree Restructuring: I have switched my 1D list to a 2D list so that I can store all of the data about the branches and their different techs in each era. I have made it so that you can smart scroll through eras and through each tech category. Once researching the first tech, settlement, you can then get access to all other tech categories (Military, religious, education, industrial, etc), and each tech in that tree for each era. At the bottom, you can press a button to increase or decrease the era that you want to view. However, you can only increase up to a certain point, either the max of era 3 or the furthest era that branch goes to. This makes the tech tree feel a lot more advanced and less crowded.     2) Auction House: I have now got the viewing system working for all of the cards in the auction house, as well as the system to reassign who it is that is ...

      Today, I spent 10 hours working on the ability for a user to select a card, then a tile, the hit the card again in order to use it if it is tile specific. However, this idea sucks, and I don't like. Tomorrow I am going to go back and change the entire system. Instead you are going to drag the card to where you want it to go, then release it on the tile you want the effect to take place. This will then apply the effect to that tile. This way it is one click and not 3, and is also more interactive for the users. Furthermore, I wont have to convey to the user that certain cards are tile based, and some are not.     I also rewrote the terrain hex map generator script. I made the script completely modular, meaning that in the editor you can create an object to spawn on the terrain just by clicking a plus. You then plop in the model, the name, the description, the spawning frequencies, and the tiles that it can spawn on. Then for each tile that is generated it c...

      Hello, found out a solution to the problem that I was having yesterday. I have discovered the fabled perlin worms. We will use them by starting them off on high terrain values, and going to low terrain values changing every tile it touches into water tiles. This will create the effect of rivers.     Easy money!     Thats all for now, bye!
