This game is over 10 years old. Still looks amazing. Arkham Knight.

Added a table UI class. Supports dynamic column/row changes and sorting. Editor and runtime support. Here it is tracking total existing resources. Will help me add various stats windows. Quite neat.

Basic farming system done (sped up). Villager plants/maintains/harvests crops. Crop can fail, be affected by weather, temperature etc, which can effect final yield. Needs some UI, but quite happy at the moment

Just updated this and my resource system to use "IResourceAttribute". Effectively means I now raise request for any attributes (IsEdible, IsBurnable etc) rather than specific resources. Resource itself is a IResourceAttribute though, so you can still do that. Much more flexible. #gamedev
I wrote up how I designed my logistics system in my next game.
It's not a complete in depth post, but just a general overview of how it works at the moment, and the classes/objects that it uses. Hope it is helpful to some people.

Reworking my logistical system right now- easily the most complex part of the code so far. It gets complicated fast. Have to be strict with your abstractions, and don't design yourself in a corner with no room to expand. Lots of edge cases! Might do a little write up when I'm happy with it #gamedev

Working on "the next thing" which is all hex based with a lighting mechanic. I wanted clearly defined hexes of fully lit (where player can build), partial lit (risky to build here), and darkness (big no no), with a nice fall off at the edges. But how did I do this in Unity? #gamedev #madeinunity

Moved back to Unity for this project. Not because I didn't like #godot, but, as this was a Unity port, realised I spending too much time rewriting core systems instead of finishing the game. Also having to implement systems I use asset store assets for. Already missing certain parts of Godot though!
