I have goblins in, with some basic state-machine AI \u2013 they get a job, then go to work until they get tired and go home to sleep. They did get hungry too\u2026 but I got horribly stuck while making the food industry. I think probably I\u2019m tired and my brain isn\u2019t working, so I should get back on track tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I added goats! When a goblin works the goat paddock (no animation for him doing so yet\u2026 not really sure how it should look) it gradually spawns goats (don\u2019t ask where they come from) which are adorable. I love their animations more than anything else in the game. <img alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, also visible is the butcher\u2019s shop \u2013 that\u2019s the building with the dead goat hanging-up in front. But don\u2019t worry goat fans! No goats are actually harmed yet because of the aforementioned \u2018getting stuck\u2019. Currently, the \u2018work\u2019 code is the same for all buildings \u2013 in fact, all buildings are the same class with different data attached. It\u2019s pretty handy as it means adding a new workplace only means defining its cost, size, image and how long it takes to produce things \/ what happens when it produces something. But the butcher is tricky, as I need him to grab a goat, carry it back, stay indoors a little while, then come out with some meat to carry to\u2026 somewhere. (I haven\u2019t figured that out either.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/15\/end-of-saturday-status-now-playable-and-with-goats\/screenie04\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-203797\"><img alt=\"screenie04\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-203797\" height=\"443\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/screenie04-550x443.png\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a>But yes! Not sure if I\u2019ll make it an actual game in the time, because there\u2019s currently no goal or lose condition! I wanted you to be able to send goblins pillaging, but apparently making a game based on Dwarf Fortress in 48 hours is a tad unrealistic.
