Update: Animals, Children and More



Wazzup Guys! I want to apologize for not being able to update a bit sooner. For some weird reason my video editor software just went bonkers and won't just render the video. I will try to fix this issue fast or maybe update some gifs for this update. Again sorry for the inconvenience. Added more features and improved the game a lot. Here are the monthly updates:

Features:

 1. GameSpeed - Now the player can select in what gamespeed he/she wants to play in. There is a sub-menu with game speed buttons that plays the game in x1, x2, x3 and x5 times or pauses the game. Also the player can use the 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 buttons to control the speed as well.

2. Animal - Added animals to the game. For now added just deer. Makes the world feel alive. Deer moves around in a herd. Like citizens they eat, sleep etc. They have their own sleep time. The animals give birth as well. For now added a vfx which shows when a new animal is born.

3. Pregnancy - Now after marriage the female citizen can get pregnant and give birth to a child. Once a citizen becomes pregnant a sign will popup in the Citizen UI stating that this citizen is pregnant. Also added a genetic calculation which determines how/who the child will look like.

4. Child - Finally added children to the game. So once the citizen gets married they can have children. There is a calculation which tells if certain married couple can have children or not. For now children moves around the town. If school is present then they will go to school from 07:00AM - 03:00PM. Children have their own sleeping time which is around 08:00PM. Like adults they will bring back food from the storage if there aren't any food at home. Once children reaches teenage age(13) they become teenagers.

5. Teen - Once the child becomes teen it grows in size. The teen can help the adults with gathering materials but they are not allowed to work in production building. Teen sleep time is same as the adults. When the teen becomes 20 years old it becomes an adult and moves out of the house and starts its new life.

6. School - School is place where children goes to study. For now only added schools for children and not Teens. This is also the place where citizens increases their Intelligence attribute.

7. All Citizen UI - Added a new UI where the player gets to see all citizens in one list, separated into three different groups, Adult, Teen and Child. Clicking their names here will take the camera to them.

8. Event Log - Added another new UI. Now when any major events happen like child birth, death(not added) or finish building all these events are added to the event log and gives a glimpse of what is going on in the town. Clicking on them will take the camera to the target.

9. Intelligence - Added a new attribute, intelligence. The higher this attribute is the better/faster the citizen will work.

10. Farm Type - Added two new farm type, cotton and apple. Now the citizen can grow cotton for cloth making and apple for food.

11. New AI Type - Added 3 new AI type, Child, Teen and Animal.

Notes:

    Again all the models, sound, UI etc are place holder but I am kind of liking the animal models that I got. Will think about to keep them or not. Will try to add the 3rd person feature but if it does not go well then I am thinking of not adding it. Need to add Save/Load, Start screen, temperature, hunting and season changes by next update. Stay tuned for more.

K Out!

3rd Person Update

Image
So have been working with the 3rd person aspect of the game. So far it is going good. Finally got done with the combo system. Got the model and animation from the asset store to test out and will be replaced later or developed upon it. Was also working on the visual effects on the combo system. So far looking good, will try to do the movements as well. The Effect: 1. The ground rocks -  For the rock particle effects I used mesh as particles and made them have collision enabled so that they don't go through the ground and instead stays on it. I also set "Gravity Modifier" to 1  and "Velocity over life time" between (2, -10, 5) to (-2, -1, -5) to get the ground shatter look. Enabled the "Size over lifetime" and messed around with it till I got the perfect look. Also there are like 5 of them and each one is in-front of another and I used "Burst - Time" in Emission to tell when they will be activated so looks like the ground is shattering

More updates and features

This week it was more about UI improvement and features. Features: 1. Tooltip 2. Material UI 3. Citizen UI 4. Road Improvement    1. Tooltip: Added a tooltip feature. Now when the player hover over the UI elements it shows what that UI element is. So for now it shows tooltip for the build buttons and the stat menu.    2. Material UI: Ok before adding the material UI, I added another material which is the stone material. Needed that to see if the UI is working. So any way this UI shows how much materials can be gathered and what are those materials. So when the player selects the gather all and drags over the materials it will show him/her what is being gather and by how much.    3. Citizen UI: This UI shows all the information of the citizen. It shows their name, gender, age, energy level, health, what they are carrying, the amount they are carrying, their thoughts etc. Also the UI has a follow button.
