YouTube video by RedMattis Drafted Auto-Combat - Showcase

Made a new RimWorld mod which lets you toggle a more reactive mode for drafted colonists, letting them use abilities and pursue foes.

Alligator (Dr. Gator) seated at simple research bench while his simpler brethren float by lazily outside.

Prevented the timeline where #RimWorld Odyssey released without alligators capable of performing pulse weapons research. With #mods.

An aligator seated at a simple research table conducting research while his simpler brethren lazily float in the swampy water outside.

They can’t?

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Alligators are of course perfectly capable of conducting pulse weapons research!

#rimworld

Oh hey, another developer making a persistent world simulation-kind of game. That's awesome! We need more games like this.

It has long disappointed me that no big open-world games actually dare commit to making a game world that isn't just a pile of pre-scripted and curated events

Best of luck! :)

Infinitely reusable aerial delivery system! :D

I usually craft tribalwear and make a 1 tile stockpile for it in the prison(s).

Warm enough and covers everything most pawns care about.

Bleh. Didn't get things working today. Past midnight. Should be asleep hours ago...

I think I'm 90% of the way to the AI searching the map for resources, extracting them, and going back with them.

Here have some random unreadable JSON! :'D

Hopefully I have something better to show next time. :)

Was busy being sick. Did mess a bit of tinkering with the shaders, renderings, scaling, json editing,...

I think the colors look a bit cleaner now, and the outline less gritty. Hope it is noticable.

More gameplay next! :)

More flash freeze than cold snap. :D

Started messing around with getting the NPC-AI to build bases and collection resources. Currently quite buggy, but it is progressing nicely :)

Currently working on spawning in AIs and getting them to build villages, etc.

I've been a bit quiet the last weekends because I got caught up rewriting questionable AI code I carried over from a Unity project from half a decade ago. ^_^;;

Not sure if my current approach is ideal either. We'll see.

Oh, and if you have enough characters they end up in formation instead

This is more than I think I would ever want to permit in group "squad", but it shows the general idea. :D

Some really nice buildings SirVan made for me (Thanks!).

Also I've made it so when you zoom in you will see the whole squad/army. When zoomed out you get represented by the most "visible" member.

Indeed. "[I liked back in the day when games weren't political]".

Meanwhile. FF7, 1997. Literally minutes into the game...

:'D

New fog-of-war effect (visible/seen/never-seen).

Intend to make super-dark area just be black or show the background. ...but that doesn't make for good screenshots. :p

Colours will probably need some tweaking though.

A house cat has 100x more ambush/killer instinct than Cheetahs, and even a feral house cat is probably more dangerous and likely to attack and injure you.

If they weren’t so nervous and need so much space to be happy they’d be pretty good pets.

Same deal as the above, but showing a character with a more expected size.

Cleaned up my scaling code for UI so it has diminishing returns.

Here is a test where I basically forced a bit over the intended maximum permitted size.

I might need to support wide portrait for monsters.

#gamedev #indiedev #ui #solodev #godot #indiegames #gameart #digitalart #jotun #worldmap

That looks amazing. Great work!

I probably need to add some more variants and make them blend better though.

Got a bit tired of Godot's hex tile system and decided to write my own so I could mess around with JSON and stuff to control the map.

I'm quite happy about how the trees and such look. :)

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #indiegames #gameart #digitalart #jotun #worldmap

That's amazing. I hope we'll see more of Sir Hiss-a-lot. :D

Suddenly it feels like an actual game.

Had the idea of making the icon fade away to reveal the character when zoomed in, but maybe I'll just make that shrink them reveal the rest of the squad..?

Redid my tiles a bit and replaced my old hill & mountain graphics.

Took many attempts. Turns out environment art is hard, and I have no idea what I'm doing. :'D

I don't want to go to crazy either since I might redesign everything later.

Oh, and by the way, the "enemy marked" characters have a red overlay which is why their colours of both faction and character can look a bit funky at times. :p

Here is an image since the video compression makes it a bit blurry. :)

Behold the POWER OF ITERATION! :D

This time there are almost no shitty ones, and the whole bunch look so much better than what I posted yesterday! :happy dance:

It's ALIIIIIIIVE!!!

The game now automatically tries to generate faction icons/colors using some pile of code to try to find colours that go well together. :D

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #indiegames #gameart #digitalart #jotun #catgirls #mice #banner #flags #heraldry #factions #icons #fantasy

Decided to try to tackle adding faction icons to the game.

These will be semi-randomly generated, so they both fit the faction, but also and unique and recognizable

Uses a custom-built shader :)

Here is an image BlueSky does seem to make the gifs a bit crunchy.

Perhaps I should try .mp4 video instead... 🤔
