Dev Blog #16 - Game

     After several meetings with the team, we have come to a decision on how the users will interact with the game, and how the UI will be built. We ended up going with my design with some minor alterations here and there.

    I will now be working on card effects and how the user will be placing the cards in game. This should be quite the challenge since I am not so good with front end visuals, but more so back end. However, I love challenges so I relish at this opportunity to grow and improve.

    Olex is also working on the auction house for the cards. He is creating a system to store all of the discarded cards, and then a way for the player to buy them, and then add them to the inventory.

    While Jeremy is working the 3D art assets for the game. The tiles, terrain objects, buildings, etc.

    While Nick is working on the UI art and polishing up the overall design while the rest of us code and model. 

    In the end, it has been a successful couple of meetings and get togethers as now we are more focused on the game then ever before.

    Well, that's all for this update, see you all later! Bye!

    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!
