DevBlog #39 - Game

     A couple of things have been worked on today, and here they all are:

    1) Auction House: I have started the process of creating the auction house, this will be a bit more difficult as I have to do it in multiplayer, dealing with everything every other player has discarded too. You can discard, and then scroll through pages of discarded cards, and filter by category or by player. This might be useful if you're looking for something in particular or have trade deals/sanctions with someone. I want to also add a way to search for cards by name, but that is going to come later once the system works.

    2) Multiplayer Integration: I have now added some code to make it so that cards now remember who originally dealt them this way it can be used for the auction house. Additionally, I also added the system for syncing the cards in the auction house across all clients and reworked some of the map gen. I hope to beta this weekend on another computer, but I am scared of the outcome, and kinda keep pushing it off :). Oh well

    3) Settlement Placement Checks: I have now added in a system that makes it so that a settlement can not be placed within the influence of another settlement. I also worked on settlement income generation (taxes), and added some more things to card dealing and the checks involved in that process.

    4) Cool Steam Thing: We are almost at 60 hours of beta testing (3,500ish minutes at the moment, and at an average of 1.5 minutes per test that is 2333 times playing this game, damn)



    I would like to thank all of you for following me along this journey, I know progress has been slow, but I hope you will all be pleased with the results of my blood, sweat, and tears. Good night, 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!
