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.

DevBlog #4 - Fintech Platform

Progress Update (Life): 1) Just a quick update, nailed my forensics test (Monday) with a 93%. 2) Nailed my Calc exam (Applications of Derivatives: 92%, Function Analysis: 82%) 3) I have my AP Macroeconomics tomorrow with AP Psych right after that. 4) Next week I have finals for AP Mirco, AP Calc, AP Psych, AP Computer Science A, Forensics, and Langauge Arts. 5) What this means is that progress updates are going to be taking place at irregular intervals until everything settles, so sorry in advance. Progress Updates (Fintech Platform): 1) I have the connection to MongoDB established and have data being added to the DB from the signup forms. Data is taken from the forms, encrypted, and then sent to the database for storage. At the moment only the password is encrypted but I might change that. This means that I can begin moving to the next thing. At least once I fix a small little bug. Currently, it goes to a test DB and not the DB for this current project. I am going to have to figure ou...

DevBlog #23 - Game

      Today, a lot of cool things happened that have a drastic effect on the game and its systems. You can now add several effects to a single card. Each effect has their own duration, amount, type, requirements, etc. All one incredible system. This required me to rewrite a bunch of the cardEffectController script but was worth it. I now also have cities seeing and recognizing their effects and the buildings effects on them too. In addition to this, I also added the population growth system and the population feeding system. This allows the cities to grow and prosper.     I have added some more cards, and have been adding in all of the effects that the cards have on the world.      Pretty neat stuff.      I am going away to camp for 3 weeks so I don't know if I will be able to post or even work on it, but I will do my best to keep you updated on the game and on any changes as they come.     Thank you so much, bye...

DevBlog #19 - Game

      Today, I made a huge amount of visual progress. However this visual progress was easy to implement, so very little back end progress, as I had built it in a way to easily implement this new feature.     I have made building possible. I have also made all of the buildings and their effects happen in the game. It is response, and works very well in the MVP demo. However, I am going to change how it looks from a system where you drop the card and then your done, to a system pops up and allows you to build it. This system will show you a green, transparent, ghost game object for you to place, then once it has been placed it will turn int the real thing. You will also be able to drag and drop from the UI bar at the bottom the buildings that you an construct from the card you have chosen. This will look really intuitive and pretty, but will be simple and easy to implement.     This is a pretty big day as now I can actually do things on the...
