I’ve written around 2000 lines of code and made a single sprite (3×3 pixels) so far.<\/p>\n
I’ve finally made the producer-consumer network functional to some degree (“all it needs is content!”), but I’ve noticed that the people spend a hell of a lot of time around a single location to sate a need. I think I’ll make all resource consumptions one-shot fillers (so instead of getting a\u00a0meagre\u00a0+3 energy from eating, you get a full boost to 100%) to increase the speed of gameplay instead. However, I’m trying to think through how this affects penalties (badly treated crops will fully restore energy). Maybe simply tweaking the values to be a bit larger (they’re working on a 100-scale right now, perhaps a 10-scale would fit better) may help. Regardless, I need the AI to work on its own before I can introduce the actual gameplay.<\/p>\n
We’re closing in on the 24-hour halftime line. Gotta get some interaction!<\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 1:50 pm","title":"Overestimations"}
