Since moving into Alpha last week, a full code review of Imperialist is underway, to put the code of the game into a good place for moving forward.

It might not look like much but every meg of RAM saved, every FPS drop minimised, is a bonus for players!

Meet the Merchant, who buys tribal tiles. Improve them for your profit.

Builders can "Industrialise" a city, for every 4 of a resource it collects, the city will produce a free processed commodity.

And with that, Imperialist is now game feature complete!

When recreating the Empire the sun never set on you ... invade Poland in 1505AD of course!

Tactical combat is now fully integrated into Imperialist, the 4X strategy game about Colonisation, Industrialisation, and becoming the world's first Super Power!

National Identity in the 4X strategy game Imperialist is important!

I've started to add national identity throughout the entire game. Nations now have names! Currently showing on tile tooltip when hovering over their cities, and on the diplomacy screen.

What is Imperialist, my 4X TBS strategy game all about? I'm glad you asked!

Check out this video where I explain what Imperialist is about, explain the main parts of the game, then walk you through 10 turns of the game.

This last week I implemented my first ever GOAP AI! Yah me!

As a first pass I'm happy where the AI is at. AI ensures food production, prospects, improves resources, allocates workers to factories, moves armies, and captures neighbouring provinces.

Lots of map generator improvements, provinces, and UI improvements.

Take a first look at Imperialist! This is a very early development stage of the new 4x strategy game I'm working on.

In this video I take you through the tutorial.

Another week on Redcoat Chess. A very basic AI with limited knowledge of Napoleonic era tactics! Also added, a basic Help system, and some sounds so the game isn't so empty.

Another week working on my turn-based tactical combat game, Redcoat Chess! Lots of refinement on the game loop, and as mentioned last week, the capture-the-flag style victory. Here you see a battle unfolding, with victory to the blue player. Generals next.

Continued work on my Redcoat Chess turn-based tactical combat game. I have a complete game loop! Woohoo! Units battle it out, with their own unique abilities. This next week I at least want to have the "capture the flag" component finished.

I've finished my first video game, a lifelong dream! OK, it's a simple timed word reading game for my elder son, but I'm proud of it 😀

I've got some design kinks to iron out before making it public (I suck at UI design). I'll open source it once it's cleaned up.

I know full well I'm going to end up in the Egyptian sha-en-ammu.

Cities Skylines 2 recently increased their recommended hardware quite a bit. There's lots of posts asking if all manner of PC Configs will run the game.

So I did a shout out to my Gen Xers....

Was at Pax Aus today. Awesome day!

Lots of fantastic games on show being made locally here in Melbourne. Really proud of my fellow Melbournians.

Met the amazing Meena Shamaly who put together the sound track for Old World.

Some simple math ......

Up at 5am and hitting bed at 11:30pm yesterday;

Up at 3am today for company meeting (that's US midday for those playing at home)

Feeling a bit burnt after a few weeks of intensity getting ready for Old World Pharaohs of the Nile release next week. But it's a long weekend and Melbourne International Games Week next week so hoping that helps with revival. 😁

Woohoo! I can finally show off what I've been working on for the last year. 🥳

Pharaohs of the Nile is the new DLC for Old World. Old World is a turn-based 4X strategy game from Mohawk Games & Hooded Horse. #gamedev #indiegames

Don't you hate it when you're busting to say something, but have to wait another 24 hours before being able to say it?
