"The Blackout Project" game : better controls with Enter/Exit volume split, more data about volume on each item. More details required ?

Sometimes people wonder if maths are required to code video games. Well, not all the times, but sometimes it happens.

In "The Blackout Project" game, energy source sites now display stocks - but as supplier only, in a simpler manner. Do you need more details to manage it ?

Local transportation sounds simple until multiple producers target the same consumer.
Distance, throughput, warehouse capacity, and timing all interact.
Player would have many option to solve the pb
How would you approach this?

Little improvement of the day in "The Blackout Project" : now companies stocks mix energy sources - wood, coal - and production- here bread.

In "The Blackout Project", players need clear vision of things. We are working on "layer views" to display education sites, energy cons./prod., per type, wood, oil, coal. More are coming.

Coding a civ/city builder game. What the player sees - for the moment - and a partial view behind the scene.
"The Blackout Project" - check on Steam

A possible implementation "The Blackout Project" of "Stock Ownership". Companies buy items, stored on the map, as in Eve online. Purchase orders instead of transportation will define the access priority.

You could wonder why showing a so small and innocent field in in indie dev city builder "The Blackout Project". But it hides a lot of changes in the simulation game for how energy source sites are working now. And managing stock is a requirement for transportation.

After education system, let's start now a master piece : the transportation system. Step by step, concept by concept, piece by piece, it will take time.

In "The Blackout Project", each education slot triggers its own workers requirement. Be sure to satisfy them if you do not want to face students anger. #CityBuilder #IndieGame #GameDev #PCGames #indieGame

A basic school, a pro school and a master school of Management and Urbanism : this city could become the city of knowledge in "The Blackout Project". Ready for the future! #CityBuilder #ColonySim #ColonySimulator #SimulationGame #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #PCGames #indieGames

For the game "The Blackout Project", i am studying something, trying to figure if it can help me for a part of the game. And so i heard for the first time about the Knight-Pigou-Downs paradox. Do you know what is it ? 🤔#CityBuilder #SimulationGame #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #PCGames #indieGames

In "The Blackout Project", you'll have to select fields of education slots in Pro and Master School, to fit companies requirements.

It will be better with the video ;-) to explain in "The Blackout Project" you can pilot your education system to fit economy expectations ! #CityBuilder #IndieGame #GameDev #PCGames #indieGame

A strange adventure to implement river capability. Bugs in TGS, wrong info from ChatGPT. My proxy grid helps at least to validate engine code. TGS is full of surprises. Things ran better as i created a tool to study TGS.

The more i use it, the more i ask myself if it worth. These last days, i lost more hours than anything else trying to get informations about how things are working. The real answer is the 0 is at west vertice, and it turn anti-clockwise.

Visualization of hex grid (debug build) using code provided by ChatGPT. Any resemblance to rivers, highways, or modern art is purely coincidental. Should i pivot to modern art instead of game dev ?

And in the middle of the path, i was asking myself "why am i struggling with hex grid geometry ?" Oh, yes, to draw the rivers !

With a little more tuning, i think it could be an acceptable solution for rivers in The Blackout Project game. Not sure the stylized texture is the best rendering. Sometimes simplicity is perhaps the better. Any opinion ? #CityBuilder #IndieGame #GameDev #PCGames #indieGames
