Added Different Line Of Defense Variants. Purely Aesthetic Change.

Summer changes

Hi there!

It's summer (wow!) which means i'm not studying. But this doesn't mean i'll develop my game more often because i want to rest like a normal person.

Before the release of 1st interim i spent every day developing to release it as soon as possible. Now i'll rest more but try to maintain a frequency of one post per week.

I also thought i'll learn javascript to create a web-site for my game and multiplayer based on it. But now i realize more likely i'll just rest: walk outside and play games (maybe even read books!).

Have a nice summer and good luck!

It would seem - nothing new: just added more useless settings

But this is pre-beta 1.0 pre-1 and it means that i'll pre-beta release the game soon

So i made my discord server public to everyone can test my game

... And i decided to name my studio Mantyi...

Renaming blog

Hi

I decided i want to rename this blog and my studio from Nava and Mantyi respectively to Chapa

Why? Because it's my nickname in some online games. It's familiar to me and i think it sounds better than Nava or Mantyi

In the next few days i'll be renaming this blog, my itch.io and github account and creating a new youtube channel. I already renamed my discord account

Now i'm CHAPA

Also i'm going to release beta 0.0 next week

New links: itch.io, github, new youtube channel

Today i forced myself to work on the game on friday evening, and now i'll show you results of this work:

Now the bot can calculate distance from border diagonally too. This means the work on this algorithm is complete and tomorrow i'll work on building construction algorithm. Hopefully, i'll have its first version by the end of the weekend so i can publish a second post this weekends

PS: yes, there is a bug with an uncalculated green cell. But let's pretend the bot isn't very smart and it also take mistakes 🙏. So it's not a bug, it's a feature!

Hi!

The old logo looked a little asymmetrical, so i added a gradient to hide that:

Now you can drag and drop cursor in text fields

PS: while i was doing it i often regretted i using defold... because it doesn't has nodes ready... it's so scary...

Added the control section in the settings menu, but it's read only. I added so little content because i'm currently optimizing the game.

I plan to add a background music, so if you're good at making music, let me know so your tracks can get into my game

Added pause menu

I've added players stats. Now buildings generate growths which, in its turn, generate scores. But I have problems with the text.

I may not publish a new post next week because I'll be busy with other things and the workload, that I want to do, is very big.

it's very nice to know there are people who like my work!

Thank you everyone!!! ❤️
