DevBlog #40 !!! - Game

    More things have been accomplished today, and I am feeling really good about it. Here it goes:

    1) Mine V1: I modeled a little tiny gold mine in Blender (as best as I could, art will get better with time), and added it to the game. I then added the functionality for its production, cost, placement conditions, and more. Making it fully functional and expanding the game's current playable state.

    2) Card Effect Manager: I have added more advanced control features for the game that allow me to enable more accurate and in-depth controls for each effect a card can have. For example, there is now a global check box, that will apply the effect to every city. A new check box on the effect to discern if it needs a settlement, and a list area for you to list tiles the card should have effects on. All have been added to the game, and now it is just a matter of going through and adding in each card and custom effect.

    4) New Cards and Techs: Added some more cards, and fixed the tech color bug. Now when you open the tech tree, all tech buttons auto-change to the correct color and have all of their other settings set up for the color (hover, active, deactivated, clicked, etc). I also added techs and cards to the tech for the first generation of industrial and agricultural techs. You can now research and get these cards added to your hand for playing.

    5) Network Functionality Expansion: I have now set it up so that the players are added to a list when they log into the game, and then that list is synced across all players. This way when a player wants to interact with another player (war, trade, but/sell, etc) they can do it through this method. Just reference the list, and get connected to the player. Yay!

    6) Play Test Realization: I have played a version of the game with the basic cards, techs, and buildings (settlements and mines), and realized that certain things will need to be balanced to make game play more fun and enjoyable. On the bright side, it was a lot of fun to be able to actually play the game. I thought it was enjoyable, and I simply can't wait for the game to get even bigger and better.

    Alright, that is it, good night, and good bye!

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...
