Procedural, Real-Time Geography, Improved Messages / Hints and a Small Favour
[ 2022-01-29 11:12:57 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi all, Today's update adds the following:
- The terrain contains fault lines through which high rock towers will emerge in real-time while playing!
- The starting positions and map geography has been reworked to be more visually interesting and less prone to "dud starts" (where you don't have enough space and/or resources and/or tribal camps nearby).
- By the way, the next update will include a map builder where you can set map parameters yourself and see a real (tiny) example map created using the current parameter set. The example map takes about 1 second to create and visualise, so you can get almost-instant feedback on your selections :)
- A new messaging system is introduced, where hints and other messages are shown in-map at the locations they apply to. An icon with heading is displayed until you hover over the hex in question, at which time the full message is displayed. Clicking on the hex dismisses the message, else it remains there for future reference. You can thus dismiss messages you've already dealt with, while keeping others for a bit later. This also works when saving and loading (your live messages remain in-tact).

Please … help us save our Turtle … it means the World to us!
Is there anything more exhilarating than your first move on a fresh map? A small band of Meeps have gathered together with enough supplies to construct a basic resource gathering outpost. Expand their skills, improve their efficiency and guide them towards guilds, societies and more advanced structures. They, and their children, are going to need these to have a fighting chance of saving their Turtle.
Find and cooperate with other bands of Meeps scattered on the map. Work with the environment to improve negative situations and affect progress without destruction. Learn about your world and push back the boundaries of physics in order to advance.
Space can be a harsh and unforgiving place, especially to an enormous Turtle. Like the Meeps, their World Turtle also needs your guidance to stay safe and nurtured. And while you’re at it, maybe you can save some others as well…
I am a solo Indie developer. I joined the Game Dev party quite late in life, and got my first glimpse of Unity almost exactly 2 years before making the first demo of World Turtles, my very first game, available. I'm amazed at the progress I’d been able to make during these two years and owe a great deal of gratitude to various tutorial channels, plug-ins and artists whom I leaned on during the development. None more than Catlike Coding, whose brilliant Hex Map tutorial series kickstarted this entire endeavour.
I have spent a lot of time polishing the task queueing and progressive construction systems, utilising different threads, UI and more and I feel the basic foundation and technical mechanics of the game is ripe for branching off into various promising directions. The free demo is a small vertical slice designed to exhibit the commitment I have to developing a good-quality game and hopefully pique some interest.
I have a good idea of the general direction I want World Turtles to head in, but there’s a myriad of possibilities available for the execution. For now, I’m focusing on a single-player sandbox-type environment. This will hopefully be followed by a small campaign and a map editor. Having some sort of multiplayer capability would also be wonderful, but there’s a lot to be done before then.
I would love developing World Turtles further alongside a group of enthusiastic real-world Meeps. Please, join me and be a part of the journey!
