DevBlog #26 - Game

     I have finally fixed the bug that concerns the ability to require previous techs to research the next. This means that I can finally start testing some of these cards. Unfortunately, here comes the hard part now. I am going to have to create a system for the UI, troop creation, politics, etc. This will be very difficult, so I am going to break it into small bit sized pieces.

    The first thing I am going to work on is the UI. I am going to make the system for viewing information about your city, then slowly start adding on to it. This will allow me to view how the settlements/cities are working, how interactions are being registered, etc.

    This will also allow me to create the system for religion and object production, which I already have added the backend for.

    The UI will be very hard since I am going to have to figure out how to add data visualization systems like pie charts, graphs, etc. Furthermore, it has to be completely modular and scalable with the rest of the game.

    I am also going to start learning Blender since it seems that my team is flakey and not interested in working on the project. So at this point in time it seems that I may be soloing this project. This is disappointing, but fine, as it will allow me to have more creative control and will make financing and payouts much easier.

    Today though, I just added a bunch of cards and created systems for global game interactions. Furthermore, I connected these cards to their techs, and worked on making everything more readable.

    Thats all, bye!


    p.s. feeling better than yesterday. Its just tough. Its like reverse home sickness. That's all, 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...

      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!
