| 3:07a | The Spell of Mastery Progress A ton of smaller changes, but mainly trying to tame UI into something consistent. For example, I replaced the rough squad UI with more streamlined. doubling down on the star portraits, as a metaphor. Since every unit has to be a unique star of its own. Also fixed the bug with the transparent pixels of the unit panel. They still blocked mouse input to the viewport TODO: simplifying the formation UI. Formations and facing direction for individual units are kinda important, since these mitigate the squad being ambushed from behind. Also I need some way to produce unique portraits for the human characters. Guess I will use AI to pre-generate like 1000 of them.   Current Mood:  amused |
| 3:22p | The Line Between a Game and a Simulation A game turns into a simulation when you start using real life statistical data. It is that easy. If your MtG cards distribution mimics real events, you get a simulation. Everything else, including details, is irrelevant. You can have a single variable simulation of some process, like the water filling a basin. So a game like Dwarf Fortress, despite its depth, remains just a game because its systems are invented rather than modeled from reality. Current Mood:  contemplative |
