Game
Parasite's Island

5 years ago

Hello Everyone! For the past few days I have been working on the schedule system. Not sure if this would be it or I would change it because my current implementation is buggy and laggy but here are what I've made so far


Clock

I have implemented a simple clock to determine the current time in the game. The Schedule in the game runs based of the hour in the clock. In the current implementation an in-game hour is 5 seconds in real time. This is this way because I wanted to see first if the inhabitants would follow their schedule. Obviously this would be changed in the future.

Family Roles

I have discussed about the family roles in previous updates but right now I decided to color them differently to better distinguish which inhabitant have a particular role because the roles play a major role in the schedule that they are doing

Schedule

Each role have a different schedule assigned to them. A particular activity would be done according to the schedule for a particular hour. Each activity is assigned an area where the inhabitants would operate.

Path finding Algorithm

The game is currently freezing at certain times mostly when all inhabitants are moving. I suspect that this has something to do with the path finding algorithm that I implemented. Because it apparently stores up to 40 nodes when the inhabitant would path find to a far area. The way I tackle this is to store fewer nodes instead

Hello Everyone! Yesterday when I implemented the new infection mechanics I forgot a little detail about the infection. Today I fixed it.

These are the changes that I've done for today:

Hello Everyone! in the last update I implemented a schedule system. Unfortunately my implementation causes an error. I removed it instead but I have a different implementation of the inhabitant movement in mind so look out for that in the next updates

Hello Everyone! My implementation of the path finding is not optimized and causes some lag. I decided that it is best if I use the A* Path Finding Project. Learning this might be the focus of this week's development

Hello Everyone! I just uploaded a new devlog update on my Youtube Channel!

Hello Everyone! Today I continue working on implementing the A* Path Finding Project into the game.

Hello Everyone! Yesterday, I finally implemented the new means of infection through a small panel of buttons. It took me the whole day to implement because of unforeseen errors but I finally finished it

Hello Everyone! Today I re-implemented some things that are included in the game before I changed the grid system and the path finding implementations

Here are the changes that I made today:

Hello Everyone! Here are the things that I worked on today:

Hello Everyone! I re-implemented the animations and the tile maps of the game.

Hello Everyone! Today I started implementing a new system of infecting inhabitants.
