DR Newsletter - June 2024

Hey there 👋

What's new?

• NPCs and Buildings spawned from Player interaction, will have now the same Affiliation ID as the current Player. 
• The same goes for enemies:

  
  

  • They will have other Affiliation ID, different from the Player's ID, and that will make them be from different 'teams'.
  • AI stills doesn't build and train troop. For now, and for testing purposes, there are Player vs computer 1 only. I plan to add more AIs to the map later (computer 2 and computer 3)
• Both enemies and Player would be able to attack each other (characters and buildings now). 
You can check the video below:

• Small improvements on BP and C++ logic (crash & bugs fixes, optimization, etc.)

What's next? 

There are some improvements on the to-do list, such as:

• Related with Combat:
  • Changes to UI to be easier to understand which NPC/Building belongs to the Player and which is not.
  • Improve Combat animation to be smooth
  • And add a few sounds/visual effects.
• Add a new dynamic building (e.g. tower defense)

And that's all !

Don't forget to follow me, here or in any other platform, to stay updated.

 Thank you! 👋
