Spring RTS Engine

So the work on the model was long and boring, so i took a break and made a loadscreen..

So, imagine you had this one building - that represents all buildings in the city. It worked quite well for the middle eastern version- and now it will have to work for a european city. (Mostly inspired by paris). You need office skyscrapers buildings (inspired by london). You need ghettos (inspired...

So.. the civilian buildings in MOSAIC are modular - and generated. Means they are puzzled together by a algorithm from around 500 diffrent pieces. Spring can take it- as long as there are no deep hierarchys or too much moving pieces aka no matrix updates. Now the first version i did was for "middle ...

Yodawg i put a game inside of your game, so you can game while storming a house.

StarCraft2 Quality Animation wise..

It .. it could be implemented? You have a widget that collects all visible units. Then you have animations who look at a map of visible - and execute animations only if the unit is visible. If you click somewhere else, the newly selected units get called - and there animations accelerated.. But you ...

Turns out making the mini game is harder then making a full mini rts with spring :D In the picture you can see the icon- which represents the stormed house. The round bar is the timer for the round. https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?mode=view&id=11119 The icons with the cone are the unit...

Mini-Gamify all the things. So storming a house basically was a "Unit shoots at house", wait for progress bar to fill action. Very boring. So i made a mini-game. I call it snipe. You have a 2d plane, with a round length count down. Both sides place theire fighters, with cones visualizing there aimzo...

If i made some lava map features, would you add them ? Also, we need those pulsating self-ilumination maps, starcraft had.. great for energy strips, and little cracks with lava glowing pulsating below..

Needs scorch marks around lava holes for extra hotness..

It doesn't come across in the interview. But basically his approach to quality in a too small a pond genre wise is what prevented them from becoming rich. He had a great team, great vision, but they always just got barely by.

Super fascinating.. the golden years, the coin drop between frozzen yak and cave dog

The whole game is heavily inspired by peter watts Firefall Universe On raids and hive-minds They moved in this fall. Four new families, kids, grandparents, two floors of the building in total. One shy pair, she something online,he something trading also online. No violations of the Panopticon. They ...

While the engine migrates- would it be possible to add - icon models? I found it pretty neat, to model icons in 3d- the only problem is to render them not as units. Yes, yes, flat design etc. but you can do really cool animations with 3d icons- that are always sharp and clean whend rendered.. A well...

So, progress report time: Added: - New Icons - New working menues (stolen from the barbarians) - New Building: hiveminds/Ai-Cores) -> allowing to slow down time for a short amount of time - New Building: Blacksite -> allowing to build aerosoldrones, which can modify people behaviour - Raids worked: ...

Alot of those books answer the "Why" questions, instead of the how questions. And with why questions answered, you can deduce a lot of the how questions when presented with new / slightly changed software. Alot of those limtations are not choices by the programmers, but just limitations inherent to ...

Sorry, i do not understand the question..

Forking ta away from email chess was blasphemy. Only God shall view the world from up high. Repent you blasphe.ers a d heretics.

If backwards compatability goes broke, is there something else that needs breaking?

Do it.. i will bitch horribly later no matter what, but that is just me having to dig through the horrible legacy code of two "games" :D
