Culture Centres

Advanced on adding native settlements. Made a map for cultural centers for these pre-columbian cultures:

  • Fort Ancient
  • Missisipians
  • Aztec
  • Huastec
  • Mixtec
  • Maya
  • P’urhépecha
  • Totonac
  • Zapotec
  • Cañaris
  • Chachapoya
  • Chimù
  • Inca
  • Muisca
  • Tairona

Also added native tribes:

  • Artic Mammal Hunters
  • Hunters-Gatherers
  • Fishing people
  • Plains Bison Hunters
  • Maiz Farmers

Still some work left to do to leave them working…

Advancement!

  • Configured different terrain food modifiers
  • Fixed refresh bug on the jcurses version
  • Ship movement is now facing based instead of orthogonal
  • Added Wind currents
  • Ship speed is determined by its sailing point (which depends on it’s heading and direction of the wind: Beating, Close-Beam-Broad Reach, Running)
  • Forest and mountains now block LOS
  • Storms are now generated and can grow or shrink, they are also displaced by the wind and block your LOS
  • Storms destroy your ships and make you get lost
  • Special points of sail for storms (On Poles, Surfing)

Expedition: Days 25 and 26

Advancing towards a graphical UI, SERF is being updated with a simple reusable gfx layer dubbed “Oryx-UI”. Implementation goes on.

I also corrected a small but kind of stopper bug, which won’t allow people to travel back into Spain :( may be it’s worth a release.

Pixal: Day 242

A simple shoutbox (Yellbox) has been implemented; it wasn’t too complex using JQuery!

One thing left to enhance would be checking for the last update time, in order to save bandwidth. (later, i’m tired :) )

Will release tomorrow!

Pixal: Day 241

Phew! At last I implemented Battle Suppressors, so that there can be safe zones where your expeditions are protected from evil players :)

The world data model scares me… I wonder how it will work when a big scale world is deployed…

I also feel I’m a bit stranded about the purpose of pixal… going full scale with an extensive world seems overkill! May be I must go to the basics, fighting and stuff… I must really implement item depreciation and reduce the inflation caused by the tournament prizes…

Anyhow, must just add chat to complete what was planned for v0.1.16 and rest for a while… Expedition needs some attention, then CastlevaniaRL :)

Pixal: Day 240

  • You can now loot gold from defeated expedition, I decided to simplify this, so you can no longer steal the items from the expedition. This will also help the friendly nature of the game (bandits are not fun for those whose items are stolen, specially newbies)
  • HP has been scaled accordingly, only hundreds of fights will led to balance
