Long time no see..

I've took a break for a while and are now starting to work on Trails of Suebia again. Today i've implemented fields for gathering crops as a food source! It acts as a special building that has some unique mechanics!

A massive battle took place inside the prototyping environment. Hundreds of units clashing, ragdolls flying everywhere. Really happy with how smooth the performance holds without melting my computer.

dead units everywhere, chaos on the field.

First look at the basic AI in my RTS game! Villagers roam, buildings puff smoke like they're in a steampunk BBQ competition, and the forest isn't gonna chop itself.
The AI gathers, builds, and pollutes... just like real civilization.

There it is — the Warhall building I started yesterday in Blender, now placed in the actual game. Always satisfying seeing assets come to life in-engine.

Back to 3D modeling again. Loving the break from the IDE lately—feels good to focus purely on visuals for a change.

After days of fiddling around with different artstyles & workflows i'm finally happy with the look of Trails of Suebia. Extreme Cell-shading it is! Love the cartoony vibe. As a side-effect i do not have to put in any work into texturing!

I've been developing the 3D-Pipeline for Trails of Suebia lately. Have a sneek peak from. Blender -> Substance Painter -> Unity.

The current state of the prototype of "Trails of Suebia". You can do pretty much anything you'd expect from a Real-Time Strategy game. The Rogue-lite features are also already in there. Now it's all about content... 🫠

Look at this dance-party of the first ever Trails of Suebia Playtest! It went quite nice and we’ve encountered no major bugs. It took 33 minutes exactly. Feel free to contact me if you are interested!

Happy Easter everyone! Here are some impressions of the Camino Portugues that I did with my brother the last 10 days. Hiking large distances and meeting so many people every day is always an incredible experience.

I've had worse places to come up with new mechanics for my game.

Just worked on the Interface a bit more. Im quite pleased with it now. Had to rewrite loads of stuff under the hood to make it behave like that and started using the xml-based UI Toolkit instead of the legacy UI System of Unity. What do you think?

So, i'm now finally happy with how the unit-production queue looks for my RTS game. What do you think about this super minimal approach?

My RTS running on a handheld running Linux at 120fps. Not that it is optimized or any fun to play without a mouse..

I'm quite pleased with how the Fog of War came along today. Managed to do it quite performant aswell (tested on integrated Potato Intel UHD GPU) using a mixture of tiling the map and a compute Shader in unity. Objects know if they've been "explored" aswell.

It's #hoodiefriday and I'm off to work on my game.

Today's feature: Fog of War. Let's see how hard it is to create in an RTS game.
