DevBlog #21 - Game

     Wow, 2 in one day. That's incredible. The meeting was eventful but I can't help feel disappointed after leaving. I feel like I am taking this game supper seriously, but they are just there for the ride. It is disappointing, but expected. Although, this does mean more equity for me, so that's a plus.

    I fixed the bug that was happening with the buildings, and built in the settlement requirements into the cards and the buildings. I have no way of testing them right now as the detection system for my settlement tile control mechanism is still not working. I may have to find a different approach. Idk.

    I have worked more on the UI and the UX for the player too.

    Every time I feel like I make progress om this app, I realize that I am missing something crucial. For example, I was down stairs gnawing on chicken and I realized I had completely forgotten about the combat system. So I added it to the list. Sometimes project scale is overwhelming, but every time I realize that I am missing something, my brain then goes to work figuring out how I am going to make it work. Every struggle and problem is a puzzle to solve, and my brain loves it.

    Sorry for the ramble, that's all for this brief update.

    Thanks!

    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!
