DevLog: HPA* (hierarchical pathfinding algorithm)Hello :)
I've only been working on the implementation of a new pathfinding algorithm (HPA*), more efficient than the old one (simple A*).
I still have some work to do before it's 100% operational, but as it stands, the performance gain is already quite impressive.
With the old one, on a 200/200 map with hundreds of enemies, FPS simply dropped to zero. Too many calculations. Characters had to constantly recalculate paths, and the impact on performance was enormous.
With the new implementation, under the same conditions, the impact on performance is minimal.
Here's a short video demonstration for those interested!

See you next week :)
[ 2024-12-15 17:59:36 CET ] [ Original post ] King's Keeper is a colony simulation and base-building game set in a medieval fantasy world.
Context
In a world where night is permanent, your King and his “workers” will have to survive, fight and build what may be the foundations of a new Kingdom.
Features already available
Procedural generation: The map is randomly generated with each new game.
Job system: miner, woodcutter, farmer, blacksmith, craftsman, clothier and more. Configure each profession on each character using a priority system.
Raids: Enemies such as Goblins, Cyclops and the dreaded Night Walkers will regularly attack you.
Tower Defense: Build powerful towers to repel raids.
Base building: Building a dormitory or bedrooms would be a good start...
Needs and sanity: Take care of the needs of your “workers” and your King to prevent their sanity from plummeting.
Game Over: If your King dies, the game ends.
Craft: Harvest and craft resources for your base and equipment for your workers.
Skills: Each task performed by a “worker” will earn him XP in the associated skill, and he will become more efficient over time.
Light/Dark: A worker will prefer to sleep in the dark, and work with light. Some enemies will be invisible in the dark...
And many more :)
Upcoming features
Reproduction: Short of manpower? Select your 2 best workers and have them reproduce.
Trade: Export surplus production and import all kinds of goods
Prestige: Increase your prestige by upgrading your base, which you can use to unlock technologies or improvements, which may also attract attention...
Quests: Your King will have demands. He's the King, after all.
