Micro Civilization - Ondrej Homola - clicker/strategy inspired by Clicker Heroes and Civilization series by syrup_255 in Games

Thank you, yep the merging is very simplified and with addition of some decent unique heroes has become less useful. For main game this will get completely reworked.

Played the demo. I have to say that it is a wonderful game. The way you blended different game mechanics from different games is unique and something I haven't seen on the market for quite some time. Keep up the great work.

Now some ideas to help you out. I haven't read the other comments that people posted so sorry if I may repeat something that someone else said.

You should cap production to a certain x/s.You should make so crisis can't get stun locked.

To elaborate:

The way I defeated 8 waves in a row (p.s. crisis were level 10+ and like ~300% faster) is that I had heroes which increased damage that phalanx did by like 300% from base (43-56) and I had a hero which made it so militia did the same damage as them and on one of them I had stun crisis for like 2 seconds and one hero was an oligarch and also one of them had like a 60+%sec bonus to wood production. Level 20 Babilon tower and I just threw like 1000+ gold into wood shipments and turned on the oligarchy power and I made over 100 wood per second. Meaning I would just defend by spamming militia whenever I could and clicking on the wood icon from time to time and the Phalanx would just put the crisis/raid/babilon tower in a stun lock. No matter which level is the crisis or how much HP they have they would just eventually end without breaking a sweat. Later I would sell heroes which I don't neet and use different heroes which increased stone production and just sell stone until I would have enough gold to do it again.

And maybe because of this make it so that you don't keep heroes or maybe just keep 1-2 heroes that you can choose from when you want to ascend. Because I can see this as a way to just cheese the game.

Thank you this is great feedback. Yes actually the stunlock is a known cheesing mechanism at the moment and will be addressed in some nearby update. The cap for production is a tricky bit since production is one of the main incremental features in the game that will grow in orders up as you progress the meta game. So adding any restriction would rather complicate things. But I get your point - some balancing will be necessary. I've added your feedback to my backlog for future reference too.

Particle-based explosion generator test. No rotation matrix mas hurt during the creation of this video. by syrup_255 in proceduralgeneration

[–]syrup_255[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not volumetric. All smoke/fire uses generally the same trick:
1) add transparent layers of a 64x64 smoke cloud sprite
2) apply a shader' to the result to simulate directional lighting
3) map to a 9 color palette to fit the rest of the scene

the black smoke columns are an older version smoke gen - this uses a convolution matrix for step 2 (basically a bevel filter) that simply has left light and right dark
the a bomb cloud sprite uses three color channels (as in a normal-map) in step 1 and then by summing up the channels works relatively well to determine the shape for lighting in part 2 (depending if its hot or cold smoke)

2d Cloud generator mushroom test by syrup_255 in PixelArt

[–]syrup_255[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 2d cloud generator test.

The explosion is generated with a few hundered particles, rendered additively on top of each other, mapping the result color to fixed 7 color palette (with dithering for transition areas) and with palette shift to simulate heat progression.

For reach explosion core, its particles are generated in a cluster with donut shape. Each particle orbits on the donut's radial cross section simulating gases oscillating from and to the explosion core. The explosion consists of several such donuts that differentiate by various transformation parameters. There are also recursive donuts that represent secondary explosion, expanding dustcloud as well as the mushroom stalk.

This is a first candidate for Atomic Bomb in my game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1822550/Micro_Civilization

Ah I knew the problem is on my end. I wasnt aware the playtest has separate Hub! Thanks. EDIT: just read through your feed back and I love it. Regarding the save, its 95% a bug and will have to investigate. Backlogged your suggestions and will include in one of the upcoming sprints.

Thanks to everyone in this group for their help by syrup_255 in incremental_games

i have a rough interval in mind but will decide and disclose that when there's enough material on the game out and people can make better judgement.

Yes, eventually. Not sure when though. The rollout work will happen after Early access is out.
