A bit of progress on the island.

I'm focusing on making a playable alpha version this month: usability, balance, polish, a bit more content, stuff like that. I usually hate blogposts that are just a list but here you go.

Completed this week:
  • start screen
  • help screen
  • r.i.p screen
  • worldgen screen
  • death from too little food
  • death from too much food
  • death from too little water
  • death from too much water
  • death from too little stamina
  • death from too much stamina

Remaining to do items:
  • death from being too cold for too long
  • death from being too hot for too long
  • save
  • load
  • day/night transitions
  • map screen only shows what you have explored
  • show vague data instead of exact on play screen (morning instead of 6:42, hot instead of 98 deg, thirsty instead of 100/1000 etc.)
  • message log
  • instead of consuming the entire plant, place it - or parts of it - in inventory
  • eat parts of plants in inventory
  • replant plants from inventory
  • inland lakes and ponds
  • saltwater/freshwater
  • drinking freshwater is good, drinking saltwater is bad
  • rework and balance weather
  • rework and balance hunger, thirst, and exhaustion
  • make some plants grow next to same kind
  • add plant types and stats
  • status effects form stats being too low or too high for too long
  • status effects from eating certain plants
  • remove many hard-coded worldgen parameters
  • worldgen options
  • add caves
  • add ruins

    1. Yeah, I've been busy with side projects and other things in January but I've got time to focus on this again.

      I like your design notes for StarControl (I played quite a bit of The Ur-Quan Masters) and MOO (never played the original but I'm a fan of the 4X genre). Really neat stuff.

    1. I decided to take a break from programming for a while. But then I ended up prototyping another rogulike-ish project that I may blog about soon.

    1. No, I'm fine. I just got bored with this and I'm not sure if I'll come back to it or not.

    2. With this specific project? Game programming in general? Roguelikes? Giving world great blog? I can understand boredom, responsibilities, lack of motivation. Maybe you want talk a little? I found in your posts great knowledge and inspiration. Although I never finnished anything more than a game that is a mere clone of something, to my drawer - BUT - I developed myself as a programmer thanks to you. In beginning of my carrer you were a solid lighthouse to learn few important tricks&tips and avoid rotten code.

      I don't know you, but I believe in you being able to finish great games.

  14. Do you understand there's a 12 word phrase you can speak to your crush... that will induce deep emotions of love and instinctual attractiveness to you deep within his heart?

    That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, admire and guard you with all his heart...

    ===> 12 Words Who Fuel A Man's Love Response

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's genetics that it will make him work harder than before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.

    In fact, triggering this influential impulse is absolutely essential to having the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will soon find him open his mind and soul for you in such a way he's never experienced before and he will see you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly appealed to him.
