I Am Seb

The final milestone is now complete, and Scavenger Wars now has environmental hazards as described in the previous milestone. As this is the final build, I’ve included a web player version embedded below, as well as Mac and Windows builds.

Continuing last weekend’s mini game jam, I’m implementing the last few milestones from the Scavenger Wars design document in short sprints. Combat is now complete, as per the milestone from part 5: with explosive missiles and line of sight behaviour for the AI player.

Unity3D has a decent web-player implementation, which requires no more than a button press to deploy. Compared to working with Flash it’s almost insultingly easy. So really it only makes sense to put up a build of milestone 2 to show how it works in practice.

So click below to try it out!

Milestone 2 is complete, though it took far longer than I expected mostly due to stopping to watch films all afternoon!

A good night’s sleep, another pot of coffee, and it’s time to start the second milestone. Now that I have a working game mechanic, it’s time to add a little competition in the form of an AI player.

It’s far later into the evening than I’d hoped for at this point, but all of my tasks from the first 6 hour milestone are complete.

For those following along at home, I’ve added a GitHub repository tracking the development of Scavenger Wars over the weekend. Due to licensing issue with some 3^rd party assets I’m using for prototyping, this repository is only going to contain scripts and data that I develop for Scavenger Wars, so it won’t work out-of-the-box just yet.

It’s Saturday morning, I have a pot of fresh coffee in hand and a good night’s sleep behind me, so it’s time to get underway.

Concept:

Hybrid race / collecting / combat game set inside derelict spacecraft. 2D overhead space ships in zero gravity; small arenas with environmental hazards. Single player against AI, possible multiplayer. (more…)

This weekend is the first I’ve had entirely free for a while, so to stave off the inevitable encroachment of boredom I’m going to be making a game with the new Unity 3, and because this is the internet: blogging about it in an almost-live way.

My goals for this weekend are to complete a functional prototype (no fancy graphics, entirely placeholder art and sound effects), to implement as many of the gameplay mechanisms from the design document as possible, and to have a lot of fun.

To get started, I’ve been rummaging through my ever-expanding collection of half-done game design documents, and decided on a concept I named “Scavenger Wars” as something that is both achievable and offers enough complexity to present a decent challenge.
