Playing around with #Unity new graph toolkit stuff to build out a tool for defining my 'expeditions' (choose your own adventure type system). Seems pretty good, but missing a fair bit at the moment. Hopefully 6.4 sorts a lot of it out.
Happy to say that The Fire Must Grow🔥 is taking place in the #MidwinterSpirits steam event! ❄️
A great celebration of current and upcoming games that celebrate the cosy start of winter!

Damn, everybody trying to buy Devil's Derby today have crashed Steam. Crazy stuff. Guess I'll play #Silksong instead.
This game is over 10 years old. Still looks amazing. Arkham Knight.
Added a table UI class. Supports dynamic column/row changes and sorting. Editor and runtime support. Here it is tracking total existing resources. Will help me add various stats windows. Quite neat.

Basic farming system done (sped up). Villager plants/maintains/harvests crops. Crop can fail, be affected by weather, temperature etc, which can effect final yield. Needs some UI, but quite happy at the moment

Just updated this and my resource system to use "IResourceAttribute". Effectively means I now raise request for any attributes (IsEdible, IsBurnable etc) rather than specific resources. Resource itself is a IResourceAttribute though, so you can still do that. Much more flexible. #gamedev
I wrote up how I designed my logistics system in my next game.
It's not a complete in depth post, but just a general overview of how it works at the moment, and the classes/objects that it uses. Hope it is helpful to some people.
#gamedev #madeinunity
Reworking my logistical system right now- easily the most complex part of the code so far. It gets complicated fast. Have to be strict with your abstractions, and don't design yourself in a corner with no room to expand. Lots of edge cases! Might do a little write up when I'm happy with it #gamedev
Devil's Derby is 20% off in the Steam Summer Sale! Give it a go if you like fast paced shooters.

Some early WIP of UI/gameplay. #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegame
Swear 50% of #gamedev time is just save/load edge case bugs and UI fiddling. Losing my mind.
Happy with this at the moment, some optimisations to do still. Hope to share more about the game when I can! Thanks for reading!
This gives us the lightmap value! If this is above 0 we just use that, if not we fallback to the regular lighting value. This gives nice separation of areas, a nice falloff into darkness, and also allows partial lit areas to create fully lit areas. Very good.
Shaders to the rescue though! I create a 1D texture of the lightmap values. I already have a way to give each hex a unique ID in range 0-numberOfHexes so mapping each hexes lightmap value to a texture was simple. Then in shader, we calculate the fragments hex, and ID, then map to UV.
But the main con for this actually is I want partially lit areas to be able to merge into a fully lit hex, if their lightmap value reaches a certain threshold, and this can't do that easily. In fact it doesn't read the lightmap value at all- just mimics the area of it. So not the solution.
