DevBlog #6 - Game

    Sorry for the long time between updates, but I just had to do AP testing, an I am also working on finals so it has been a log week.

    This week is not so much code heavy but is more so UI and modular related updates. I created a series of scriptable objects which house the entire system responsible for cards and techs and their impacts on the game and the board. Furthermore, I added loads of UI elements that I am working on attaching together into a fully functional tech tree, auction house, trade window, and overall UI just as soon as one of our studio members sends over their input on the design. Once I have their input I will begin to be able to program the actual system, and not just work on making it look pretty.

    Unfortunately, this is a really difficult system to setup as the cards effect every other system; building, tech, cards, units, war, loyalty, etc. This means while building this card and tech system, I also have to develop the other major systems. This is why I have handed off the nitty gritty terrain system to Olex where he will be fixing the code, and making the system more clean and efficient on memory and computing power. This will give me the time and space to build on every other system.

    By the way, the art is almost finished, just waiting for him to send it over then I will put in a picture of the game into the blog, and also film and produce our first devlog on YouTube, and will also release a meet the team video.

    In the mean time, enjoy and keep up your programming adventure.

    Peace!

    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 ...

DevBlog #18 - Game

      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...

DevBlog #5 - Game

      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!
