Game
The Aqueduct

First alpha build uploaded, and some API work


I’ve been working on The Aqueduct a lot in private, but finally uploaded my first build to Game Jolt. It’s not much more than a tech demo at this point, but it’s a nice mini-milestone.

In addition, as part of the development of this game, I’m working on a new Python Game Jolt API library. There were features that weren’t available in the existing Python library that I wanted to have. Specifically, this new library is completely asynchronous. All API calls are non-blocking, and return Futures where applicable. This all runs in a seperate process, for minimal impact on the game loop. In fact, API calls generally only take a fraction of a millisecond. Another useful features i’ll probably add is automatic session pings in a background Thread. Finally, I’m using the nice lru_cache module for caching the url creation. This avoids wasted CPU on hashing signatures. I’ll be making this available as soon as it’s further along.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
