Awesome news, thanks Dax! I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Daxter_06 · Sep 22, 2014

As an added bonus, I present below the full design of the Scaffolding system, and all the scripts that tie to it.

If you are keen on trying it out in your own custom map, go for it.

But be aware, it's a little buggy, incomplete and may cause crashing sometimes (until I nail down the issue)

Code:

// Scaffolding System - By Daxter
// Based on a similar system for Black and White 1 recreated for the sequel
// Scaffolding is to replace the Construction Menu of the "Toolbar" in Black and White 2

EDIT: Updated this post with the new version of the scaffolding system, which seems to no longer cause crashing (from what I was able to test)

Daxter_06 · Sep 27, 2014

Of Gods and Mortals - Alpha v0.08

Added:
- Belief System - currently at 3%
- Tribute system is making this annoying atm and conditions in the language tend to either not fire or loop with no way to clear.
- Hoping to get this working a lot better when HandsomeMatt gets that documentation down so I can figure what the problem is.
- Currently have a minor system in place for Belief that gradually increases your influence ring by a fixed amount per new villager in your towns.

Removed:
- Ship Control and Transportation
- Removed this due to it not being feasible as gameplay and extremely difficult to code for existing BnW2 systems
- Verdant Epic
- As nice as this was as a concept, I fear the miracle itself would be too powerful as an epic miracle, there is still a chance the standard miracle could go in but no promises

Bug Fixes:
- Scaffolding System
- Crashes that would occur when attempting to create new scaffolds before existing ones were released and deleted from the script
- God AI
- God AI would tend to run off into the ocean when attempting to interrupt its next action through in-game tools (deleting a building etc.)
- Fixed a few minor issues with altitude stuttering in actions
- Adjusted the speed of the god hand to allow more realism

I'm sorry there's no video for this version, it's really only adjustments to the existing systems and the belief system is not currently in a state to be shown and the tutorials will be saved for the alpha release. I'm looking to release this in Jan 2015 as Version 0.1, but no promise right now.

Also, island-based lands are still a possibility with the change from impressiveness to influence.

Thanks!

That's outstanding! Can't wait for your alpha release. It's amazing how far you've progressed, well done :shocked

Khazar · Oct 10, 2014

Yeah I really want to see the alpha version.

Daxter_06 · Nov 3, 2014

Just an update.

Work continues for the January release (Im still hoping).

The run down is:

- Belief System still has issues with conditionals causing infinite looping so it's slowing progress down right now (can't seem to nail the problem still)
- Looking to implement the tiger into creature selection but forgotten where the creature sound files are and how to see their identifiers for scripting
- Looking at the base code for the God AI to see what is obsolete or needs improving and how to merge the scaffolding system into it
- Currently can't seem to make Lumber mills for each town create their own flags for housing/civics or at least detect the building exists which is a little odd
- The Siren Epic now has issues with camera positions and synchronization utilizing the older script on my new system so will need to take a look at that
- Volcano Epic camera positions have seem to have gone out of whack as well
- Looking to add a prerequisite script for the God AI that forces actions based on a town's current situation or the result of a player's action (should help to make them more real and less routine robotic)

Hello Dexter,

I just registered to say this: wow!
I've been lurking on these forums and on moddb for many years. After 2010 I lost hope for OGaM ever being finished but I loved the progress.
I was looking again for games in the god genre after taking a look at Godus (which is heading in the wrong direction I'm afraid). And suddenly I stumbled upon the moddb page of OGaM seeing dates on the news page that said 2014... I think my eyes popped out of my head when I saw that lol.
So I made this account after all those years of lurking to say you're awesome! I love how you're planning the current work on the mod and I think it's a good idea to say it will be finished soon t/m. I love the updates so far and I wish you all the best with everything!

All the best,
Blinkin

Thanks for the support, these kind of positive comments help me to continue progress knowing it will be played eventually. But it also means a larger fan base requires more detailed work and polish and I say thanks for that.

Happy holidays to everyone wherever you are in the world. Another year has gone by.

Quick update ahead of the usual schedule. I'll be away from my PC for a weekend in another state attending a friend's wedding in early January, so this might delay the alpha release. As I stated on the moddb website, keep an eye out for updates regarding the release date as january looms closer.

Happy holidays!

Hello everyone.

We are in the new year, and with it comes new opportunities. Looking forward, I hope to get as much content into OGaM as possible but unfortunately, it's slow due to only myself working on it. Sometime after the alpha release (noted later on) I will be looking to increase the number of people working on this game by a small amount. Much like I had a team before I abandoned the game previously, I would like to do so again, however this time, I should have a more clear picture of the direction of the game and be able to provide each new team member with a section of the game to work on. More info on that down the road.

Now, for the alpha release. I had planned to release this in January (this month) because of the amount of issues I had with scripting certain elements of the systems currently in place for OGaM, providing a long date away would help suffice to solve as many of the issues as possible. However, this has only lengthened the wait time and I apologize. The latest I am looking to release the alpha is the end of January near my birthday (29th -_^) and will focus on content rather than fixes for then.

I will also do my best to outline exactly what is in the alpha release to let players know what to look out for before making additional comments or suggestions. While most feedback is useful, making sure everyone is on the same level will prevent things like "why can't I progress?", "it's incomplete and not worth playing" etc.

If anyone has any last minute suggestions from what has been shown so far of alpha content, please let me know and I'll do my best to get that in there. Oh, and don't worry, the Tiger will be a playable creature :

: just be aware that creatures may act a little dumb right now since I have not put much into their "on spawn" behaviour.

Cheers!

It's a bit late but happy new year!

It all sounds good and reasonable Dexter. Good luck with everything, looking forward to the alpha and what the future will bring.

Daxter_06 · Feb 3, 2015

Hello again. It's now Feb in 2015, just a little late of the release date of the alpha.

Just popping in here to let everyone know, I'll be looking to get things fixed up and ready to go in a few more days. Thanks for following, and I look forward to everyone's feedback on the God AI improvements and the Scaffolding System.

Don't forget to drop your suggestions into this forum for anything you would like to see changed, added or removed from OGaM when you play the alpha.

Cheers

It's amazing to hear that you'll be releasing it soon, late or not!

It'll be also be equally amazing to have a reason to launch BW2 once again. Things might really start to change again

Keep up your amazing efforts! :grin2

Early thanks for response.

Bye!

Although my pc is currently broken, I am looking forward to the alpha release. Take all the time you need, I'm sure it will be worth it... and we might be able to spot new bugs.

Blinkin · Mar 2, 2015

Daxter are you still a life? I hope you're still oke.

FunniestMonkey · Mar 3, 2015

I'm sure that he's working on it as we speak, or even if not, he's out living life! One man development team, after all.

My my my. Isn't this a blast from the past as well.

Fear not, kids. Dax disappeared for quite some time a while back, but then resurfaced. I myself am an old man as far as this forum goes (although many are much older than me!) and I remember the earliest days of OGaM.

Dax, hit me up if you ever wanna chat again. It's been a while, man.
