I Created A Logo For My Studio (it's Called Mantyi). More Likely You Don't Understand What It Means And

I've finished the construction menu: changed it a little and fixed bugs. I've also added a new tool and the ability to select tools using keyboard.

Added players customization window, now you can set players names. I've not created any icons for save and customization buttons yet, so they are just green.

Now bots can attacks each other (more precisely, use shellings and tank battles). They decide what cell to attack based on the importance of cells (the cyaner or yellower cell color is, the more important it is (but the color changes non-linearly to make it easier to see the difference))

Bots decide how to attack building (use shelling and then tank battle or tank battle only) depending on what variant is cheaper

But they can't storm because i myself don't use this type of attack. The same situation is with landings (i don't use them too). So i ask you: when should bots storm buildings and use landings? I really don't, so please help me.

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!

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!

pre-beta 2.0 will re released July 28 at 18:00 - 19:00 GMT

PS: while i was creating this trailer, i realized that in fact i added only 1 menu and 1 language (but on 2 dialects). yes i've been developing this update for almost 3 months. i'm very productive :-{)

Results of the year

I started developing this game in early november. During these two months I managed to do:

Game interface

Build mechanics

Game localization system

For now, the game confirms the word "economy" in its name.

All gameplay at the moment:

My plans for the first half of next year:

Add attack mechanics and confirm the word "war"

Add pause menu

Start alpha game test

Add main menu and settings

Add sounds and ambient music

I'll try to spend as much time as possible developing the game and post to tumblr as often as possible.

Happy New Year!

pre-beta 2.0 interim-3: bugfixes

Just compare:

I'll post this interim release in my discord server within the next hour

PS: i had to edit this video because i can't insert 2 videos into 1 post

War & Economy

"War & Economy" is my first big project. It's the game about two city-states at the war with each other. Nobody knows the reason for this war. For their rulers, it's just very exciting game. And you act in the roles of these rulers. But nobody thinks about habitants of these city-states...

pre-beta 2.0 pre-2: buxfixes

Now it's very important to test the game, so if want to help me, pls go to my discord server 🙏. And as always i'll post in it this pre-release within next hour.
