MapNav update, v2.2

Leslie Young — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 19:08:42 +0000

I’ve update Tile Based Map&Nav to version 2.2.
This new version includes a sample of how it can be used with a dungeon crawler type game. There is also now an option to tell the path calculator to spend more movement points if a unit wants to move onto specific tiles, which can be useful lfor games where you might have units move normally over flat terrain but need to spend an aditional point when the unit wants to move onto a forest tile.

Battlemass 203

Leslie Young — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:50:45 +0000

Battlemass build 203 is now available on Desura.

Battlemass is a turn-based strategy game with both single-player and multi-player support. A match is played on a map consisting of tiles, and in turns of 3 phases – combat, harvest and build. The goal is to destroy your opponent’s Base/City Unit. One of the cool features of the game is that you harvest the map/board’s tiles for resources but in the process destroy the tiles, and any unit on such a tile.

The new build includes a totally rewritten multiplayer mode and a new game server which performs way better than the old version. There are now also a Tutorial to help you learn how to play the game, Singleplayer and Hot-Seat modes. The game rules have been tweaked to provide for quicker matches and better experience overall.

The editor could be used to streamline development or by your players to create maps. There is a sample of saving and loading to/from PlayerPrefs. Maps are saved by simple string encoding. All code is done in C#
