Something New...

Hi there!

I hope you (unlike me) remember about the poll where i asked you how to rename attacks stats (ground attacks (left), air attacks (left))

Let's look at the results:

Tumblr (2 votes):

. . . . user variants: 100%

. . . . . . . . Variants:

. . . . . . . . . . 1. attacks left -> attacks

. . . . . . . . . . . . attacks -> attacks will be

. . . . . . . . . . 2. attacks left -> attacks

. . . . . . . . . . . . attacks -> attacks production

Discord:

. . . . 'this' and 'next': 100%

We see that the "'this' and 'next'" variant won. But i think players' variants from comments are better because they don't have a prefix to attacks left stat. I think the 1st player's variant is the best because it's little shorter than the 2nd. It looks like this:

But you can still suggest your own variants

This weekend i'll just be fixing bugs so i may not post a devlog

Beginning of development

Hi all! In this blog I'll tell how I develop games.

From what it began

From the beginning of this year 'til the end of July I was developing my game and by the end of July it was full-fledged and playable. But I became notice bugs I couldn't fix.

I wondered what the problem might be. I realized the problem was I wrote my game on Python, this language isn't intended for it.

Then I decided to learn a new programming language. It was originally supposed to be C#. But I couldn't run my code in the new language. I tried to do it for some days but eventually gave it up. Then I started searching the Internet for programming languages for games and came across on Lua. I learned it in just a month and started searching for an engine for it. In the Internet I knew about Defold. I'll rewrite my game exactly on it.

But I think I must introduce you to the original game first.

Initial game

Entering the game we see the main menu:

When we press the play button we see this:

I'll label the interface elements so you understand:

In construction menu players select building they want to build. Its description will appear on the right. Players can build it on the game field. Buildings affect on players stats. After enemies' turn ends player gets different points. Players can also attack each other:

Players can capture enemy buildings:

Gameplay can be very intense:

To win, player must capture or bankrupt enemy:

So I can to start development.

Interface creation

To Understand the size of game field, I drew it in Paint:

Its size - 436x220 pixels. I created the project, set it up and set size like a field in Paint but with padding around the edges:

I added a simple main menu and made the game opens when the button was pressed:

It's time to make the interface. I spent a lot of time on it. Since the system font only supports English, I added my own Noto Sans based font. It's what I made:

But whet I opened it full screen, I saw this:

Yes, I didn't add anchors on purpose, to interface elements don't blur to different directions.

My first post ends. If you have any ideas for improving the content, write them in the comments, I'll read them.

Goodbye!

The tutorial is done! It turns out just writing a text and taking screenshots is long and difficult (it took me more than 3 days (including the previous week)). Also added a scrollbar but it only shows progress, i can't use it to navigate the page.

Hi

Now bots can visualize their work (show which cell they select) and take breaks between actions. Also added new settings for bots

I'll post this release (interim-2) on my discord server

Happy New Year!

Added the control section in the settings menu, but it's read only. I added so little content because i'm currently optimizing the game.

I plan to add a background music, so if you're good at making music, let me know so your tracks can get into my game

Hi there!

I started developing new version, i decided to number it beta 0.0 (i know, it's weird version number)

I renamed attack stats:

attacks left -> attacks

attacks -> attacks will be

Also renamed 2 buildings:

Line of defense -> Defense line

Air defense system -> Air defense

And fixed bugs:

I can save player name if it's incorrect

After shooting/bombing cell the attack cost doesn't change

I've created the construction menu. But it has a lot of bugs yet. I've also added fps and mem statistics.

Now i'm playing through this game

I like it. This intricate game has gloomy vibes

It could be hard to play this game but it's worth it!

Irredeamable is out!

About Irredeamable

Irredeamable is my latest project, a semi-linear action-adventure game, where you control this little bundle of anger and angst in her quest to recover her lost powers and bring forth the end of the world.

Join Irredeamable Gamejolt community here! Follow me on twitter here!

The game has a heavy emphasis on combat, with a bit of platforming, and a whole lot of boss fights. There is also some mysterious lore to be uncovered by those willing to brave the world's deepest, darkest depths. My main goal with this account is to spread awareness of the game as i work on it. I'll post threads about the game content, characters, and world, with occasional distractions such as my unhinged game design thoughts and ideas. Don`t hesitate to share thoughts and engage, i love nothing more than to talk about writing and game design.

It would seem - nothing new: just added more useless settings

But this is pre-beta 1.0 pre-1 and it means that i'll pre-beta release the game soon

So i made my discord server public to everyone can test my game

... And i decided to name my studio Mantyi...

pre-beta 2.0 will re released July 28 at 18:00 - 19:00 GMT

PS: while i was creating this trailer, i realized that in fact i added only 1 menu and 1 language (but on 2 dialects). yes i've been developing this update for almost 3 months. i'm very productive :-{)
