The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Spent a week so far working on the turn based adventurer combat system. Getting fancy effects to function is a pain in the ass for sure. Stuff like afflictions/maladies propagating to new entities, localized time manipulation, various stacking stuff, bonus effects from multiple effects on the same e...

https://axiomsofdominion.substack.com/p/playing-as-an-adventurernon-landed https://axiomsofdominion.substack.com/p/portal-fantasy-and-magical-adventuring Two posts about the tactical rpg adventuring/delving aspects of Axioms. You can do these things with landed or political characters although more ...

Got a bunch of work done on multithreading. Roughly 80% improvement in speed for AI Planner plus it runs on player turns.

Wow haven't posted here in over a month. I got a lot of work done over the last month. Specifically in the last 3 days I've been optimizing stuff. First for RAM, cut the RAM usage on the primary source of RAM bloat by 93%. This was the class that tracked Opinion Modifiers between two characters. It ...

I've written several posts, and also some nice code heh, since I posted here last. There are several posts on magic, a post on the mechanics of the intelligence network/intrigue/spying system, and a few posts on social interactions. Think of Axioms like Kudos 2+Academagia+Crusader Kings plus a few e...

https://axiomsofdominion.substack.com/p/decadance-decline-denouement?r=i2fsj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web I wrote a commonly requested post about how Axioms represents the rise and fall of empires. Basically to get a system that is both realistic and fun you need quite a bit of simulatio...

Thanks. God so much chugging. 50 hours a week for like 50 weeks. My poor fingers.

So still been doing stuff the last 3 weeks. Got a pile more design posts and some other stuff.

Been working on social occasions, getting the basic military stuff working, and agreements between characters. The goal is to get basic functions out and slowly layer mechanics on top till it is all done.

https://axiomsofdominion.substack.com/s/axioms-development-blog Have a new more development focused section of my substack. Don't quite post actual code but get pretty close. Also been thinking about what to do after Axioms. Either a Majesty1+++ game or an open source turn based party rpg depending ...

https://axiomsofdominion.substack.com/p/magic-and-politics-fantasy-religion?r=i2fsj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web A post about religion in Axioms. My goal is to make religion both a detailed and integrated part of gameplay. Just as you can substitute diplomacy or intrigue for military pro...

These are just working visuals except maybe the icons. I plan to finish the UI skinning and other art type stuff once the code is finalized. Debugging some stuff: https://imgur.com/a/23cnnra A Randomly Generated Map: https://i.imgur.com/pJGGiKy.png Unique colors for province detection on maps: https...

Just wrote a blog post about the RPG-adjacent parts of the game, somewhat high level. Planning to do more focused ones with details in a couple months.

Kinda shocked this project didn't finish. Imperialism is a very simple game and the art assets wouldn't have to be intense either.

Axioms Of Dominion is a project I got about 40% through and then had to let go for life stuff. Now I have roughly a year where I shouldn't have anything else to do so I'm hoping to release in late 2022 or very early 2023 if I run into serious issues. I'd advise reading the wiki for a broad overview:...

I've been considering the title topic for the game I've been developing and I figured I'd go somewhere with tons of modders to ask if they had any interest in the feature. Of course I think it would be nice if all strategy games had such a feature, and I'm here to discuss it and not my game itself. ...
