DevBlog #7 - Game

     An absolutely massive amount of progress was done today. I created a series of scriptable objects that will help us maintain control over our game, and make it so that all changes that are necessary are modular and can be easily carried out and its effects will require very little effort to integrate.

    I create scriptable objects for government. I then proceeded to create the 7 governments each with their own modifiers, descriptions, and bonuses. I then created a system that will take into account the card bonused and their effects onto the drawing of cards. Now the government you have will effect the likelihood that you will get certain card types. These of course can all be changed in the editor, and the changes will propagate out into the system with no errors, and 2 seconds of time (just compiling time, :).

    I also changed the way cards are used, making it so that now every type of card can be taken into account. Unit, policy, government, building, etc. All types of cards can now be used and created with incredible ease. additionally, once we have finished all of the cards, I will be able to add them to the script that will keep track of all cards for the dealer, and we will have a fully functional game. 

    Another thing I worked on was a simple one but it was good as it got my brain working again. I created a simple button that would hide or show the tech tree UI element. I am almost done with the tech tree, just waiting on Nick to send me the nonagon and the colored hexagons along with the card prefab and then I will be done with the tech tree.

    I also started a script that will manage the way that buildings are placed. It is pretty simple. It shoots a ray cast down on the game and finds the location where it hits then marks the spot. The if they played a card that has buildings on it it will loop through the array and place each of the buildings inside of it. Once the array has been used up, the card is destroyed, and the world moves on.

    That is it for today, I have finals coming up for math and physics and progress will slow down before it picks up again so good bye for now.

    Before I go, I also have to create a scriptable object for units, and change a bit of the card code to create a bool so that we can check what types of things are going to be made by the card (units, buildings, etc).

    Alright good bye for now, see you later.

    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...

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!
