- Making It Delightful - DevLog #3 - 6 March 2022
Building video games is more than designing game rules and logic;. It’s critical to make the player feel connected to the experience, and feel their impact on the game world. UX designers have long called this “delight” and that’s the theme of today’s DevLog. Traffic One of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve gotten is to add more life to the world. As well as a compelling puzzle, the player should become immersed into the world. This is where creating delight serves us well as developers, as each detail enhances the experience in an intangible way. Every road tile is modelled as a set of waypoints, or “path segments” as they’re called internally. We had some fun traffic bugs along the way: When vehicles spawn, we use a well known computer science algorithm called a randomised depth first search to construct a list of waypoints for the vehicle to drive between. When combined with a que…

- Spring Devlog #2 - Energy Policies, Voltage & Transformers/Substations - 1 May 2021
Hi-voltage & transformers In the April DevLog, we shared a preview of the transformer/substation tile. This has finally made it into the game, along with the concept of hi-voltage and lo-voltage. Some buildings, such as factories or other industry, require a hi-voltage input. This means laying power lines, probably with a substation somewhere to step-up or step-down the voltage. Diving deeper, voltage has some interesting properties. Hi-voltage lines are much more expensive than lo-voltage lines, in both upfront & maintenance. But on the flip side, hi-voltage lines are more efficient, with only a 5% energy loss. Lo-voltage lines can have as much as 45% energy loss. Depending on the problem you have to solve, the trade-off might be acceptable. Energy policies Policies such as impact the choices you have to make in each level. Players can craft effective strategies, as well as challenge t…
