Follow a man and his daughter on their quest to develop in Unity

Hello,

This group is dedicated to the friends and Alpha and Beta testers of an upcoming, yet-to-be-named game that we hope will blur the line between Traditional Roguelikes, crafting, village foundation and relationship simulation.

My daughter and I have always been gaming buddies and now we want to turn decades of gaming and software development into putting out projects of passion. This group is for those that want to follow the process and potentially take part by offering unique insights that we feel fellow gamers have to offer.

We want a place for fellow Steam members who want to possibly assist with stuff like Alpha and Beta testing as well as video content creators to collaborate with us on this adventure. Dani Dino, my daughter and I Motivia welcome people interested in joining us on this adventure.

While this is geared towards game development we will also have areas for off-topic discussions. While we intend on this being a fun place to learn and maybe teach others thinking about getting into gaming and welcome discussions, we will moderate closely for people just wanting to be agitators. If you are looking for a place to demean or stirrup trouble you will be banned.

While we will have as mentioned off-topic discussion threads we will not tolerate racist, sexist, bigots or people who judge people for their lifestyles. This is not a safe haven for bullies or harassment.

For everone else we hope to share our insights as Indie developers. We will cover topics from Art selection to Zebras. Ok maybe not so much on the Zebra front but they are cool animals so who knows maybe the final boss in the game will be a Zebra who is a high horse.

Hopefully will professional we can still can all have a good laugh.

Latest Update for week beginning 3-17-24

I figured that I would make a quick update as tit o the current progress. I hope to be posting some screenshots of what the current layout looks like at the moment.

As the current look goes, the screen is broken into a few parts.

On the upper left side is a window that allows you to view character stats, skill tree, and inventory. This side also has a tab for overall game stats and system settings.

The upper middle and right of the screen is the view of the map, with payer character, objects and so forth. Currently I only have traditional roguelike ASCII representation on the map. I hope to add the toggle this week to switch between it and a top-down view. The original idea was for 2.5D and this may still happen. We are playing with what works better.

The bottom right has your character displayed with armor and weapons that should reflect equipment upgrades and so forth. Under the character is the HP, Mana and/or energy bars for said character along with bufffs and debuffs that are in effect.

The center bottom will display you skill/spell/potion selection.

Finally the bottom right will display your enemies along with their health, mana, buffs and debuffs.

Long the very bottom will be a running log of what all has occurred.

This is just the current design and is up for change but I feel like it is a decent layout that provides a good amount of visuals and information to the player.

We should be ready to unveil this by the end of the week depending on my health. I look forward to letting everyone see what it looks like but want the first impressions to be as good as possible thus the delay as we add finishing touches to the player screen.

It should be noted that we are overhauling the background system. So currently we will not have a video that shows any gameplay.

Mission Control we have lift-off, sort of.

By now, most of you know me well enough to know that I am constantly changing things up, and while I am big on planning, as the saying goes, “no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.”

I had thought about temporarily setting aside Dani and my game to work on a platformer that I had thought about. I hadn't done a ton on it as I had that week of bad MS symptoms and then a week of IV Steroids while I was also still fighting off my acute bronchitis. Then this week, I had another infusion, and between migraines, Dani being sick, and having a little extra time with my lovely wife than usual, not much was done.

Last night, I started thinking that I would hold off on the platformer until another Game Jam, which is what I had intended it initially to be for. I got back to thinking about this game and have a new direction that, if Dani agrees with it, would still be similar to our original idea but with some differences in UI and game-wise.

I will post in the discussion thread here in a few minutes about the new direction and gauge people’s thoughts on it.
