Hi folks, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend like I am! I went on a weekend off to relax a bit and recharge my batteries. I have been working a lot and it's not going to stop so a relaxing weekend off will be healthy for me. During this week, I worked on one thing and one thing only. Making a game with two genres and one theme. This is a huge feature, because it covers almost all aspects of City Game Studio. Starting with game creation, of course, but also game ports, remakes, games of the year, contracts, updates, DLCs... Since it involves so many aspects of City Game Studio, it involves more work up front, thinking about how to do things so that it works well both in terms of the code, but also in terms of the interface. Currently, when you create a game, there is only one genre, and therefore only one texture to display. Being able to combine genres means that there are two textures to be displayed where there was only one originally, so it affects almost every interface in City Game Studio. But it doesn't stop at aesthetics. Data also needs to be revised, where a simple game_genre field was enough, now it becomes an array. That's more things to change in the code so that everything connects well. Besides all this, I want to make the old saves compatible with the new version of the game. I don't want the game to support two save formats, it would hurt the frame rate. Instead, I prefer writing a migration script to convert your savegame to make it compatible with the new version of the game. As you can see, only one feature, but it's a big job. I hope to finish all this next week to tell you more about it. Until then, have a great weekend. Xavier aka Binogure

- City Game Studio GNU/Linux [524.68 M]
January 1975, you have created your video game company. You are renting a tight place that allows you to develop your first game. Quickly, your games are successful and you already have to move, but it is up to you to cross the city to pick up your next local. In the blink of an eye you are hiring artists to improve the visual aspect of your games. Next came developers and then testers. But a problem remains, even if your games are brilliants, you don't have enough fans to self-publish a big game to make your studio profitable. You will have to turn to video game editors who will carve out the lion's share. Combinating successes is the only way of getting rid of the publishers. Furthermore you will be able to publish your own publishing contracts. Then you will then be ready to dominate the market and buy back your competitors.
Each game is unique
Maps and studios are procedurally generated. Combined with random events and customizable studios, you will rediscover the game with each new game.
Assign the best studio
Browse the cities and choose the location of your next studio. As my uncle said "we do not hire new talents with vinegar !"
Furnish your studios carefully
Everyone is not a studio designer, yet every piece of furniture has its place in your studio, and can have an influence on the history of your company.
Publish, hire, repeat
Each game is unique, but over time new generations of consoles come out. You cannot create a bestseller alone. You have to hire new talents that will help you creating the perfect game
Game development
The development of the game is broadcast on twitch using the channel binogure.
