Obsession of the month: gardening
And I thought #Culdcept was dead! After 10 years, a new entry and remake of the first game, which never released here in the west, both arrive this July.
At the moment, from the publishers website I would conclude the remake on Switch only releases in Japan, while both Steam releases and the Switch/Switch 2 version of the new entry get a global release. Weird.
Looking forward to it, Revolt on the 3ds was... silly in how serious it took itself, only to clown around.
Slow and steady!
I can now create differently sized boards divided between 2-6 players,all of which will get the same amount of tiles.
Is it obvious I am working on the framework since I am already lost on how to even start implementing strategic gameplay? Figuring out how many different territories exist with their own treasuries like in Slay seems such a hassle, maybe I'll use shared resources instead.. or maybe I will pretty up the tiles next...
I love watching #Barry play the Ace Attorney series on Twitch.
This clip was only slightly edited.
So...I was kinda expecting this to lag horribly, but in hindsight, if modern computers can work with a 30000 polygon toothbrush, an unoptimised algorithm finding connected tiles of the same colour won't make something unplayably slow.
Simply by doing things I am getting ahead of the past me that was too overwhelmed to do anything, even if I now walk slowly and triple check every step.
But I will have to look at some deeper tutorials on these TileMapLayers.
I thought about making a game inspired by Sean O'Conner's 1995 game "Slay" (way better than its 2016 remake) ever since I was made aware of it a few years back, but gave up after realizing I had to both learn hex coordinates and how to program an AI to play against.
After watching 3 tutorials and reading the documentation on 1 afternoon, I am fairly certain I know everything I wanted to know about hex grids in #godot .
Time to make my first game!
