David Stark / Zarkonnen: prototype
- Shooting
The code reorg I mentioned in the last development update is now pretty much complete: the editor has been relegated to a sub-module, and work on the combat mode is underway. Right now, you can spawn two ships who will shoot at one another, doing damage, but the damage has no effect yet.
- Crew
The airships are now crewed, and the crew move around and fetch things. This has involved introducing a whole lot of things like time tracking, crew, pathing, and a job assignment and execution system. - Building airships
Since the last installment, I've been mostly concentrating on improving the editor and the ship visuals, including windows, an outside view mode for editing armour, and even smoke.
- Concept and Project Setup
In this post I'm going to talk a bit about the concept of the game, and also go about setting up the project with CatEngine. - Rope BridgeA quick game about crossing a rope bridge, part of an experiment on how to make adventures exciting outside of fighting.
- SpaceGenA generator for pulp sci-fi settings inspired by How to Host a Dungeon and the Dwarf Fortress world generator.
- UFO GameA game prototype about abducting people with your flying saucer. Scheduled to be the next project after SE:SS.
- CamSketchpadA modern recreation of Ivan Sutherland's seminal Sketchpad program. It's a 2D drawing / CAD program with support for geometrical constraints and the inclusion of instances referencing other drawings.
