Pocket Planets

We now have the building system fully operational in its prototype form! Next on the list of things to do is to get it working with the rest of the machines, as well as balancing out the resources needed to craft them, hopefully, soon all of the key mechanics will have been implemented and il be able to start the long and arduous task of polishing this game up!

this week I've had a new burst of motivation and I've directed that into starting to add new functionality to the game! Im looking forward to working more intently in the future!

after the dome is filled with co2 you will be prompted to plant trees and maintain trees and other flora, these trees will be your primary method of creating oxygen.

The next devlog will showcase the work being done on the building system and how you will actually gain access to the machines shown in this video. 

All this and more in PocketPlanets!

All this and more in PocketPlanets!

 currently just has a 24 hour clock and a progress level of how much you have terraformed your pocket planet, more to come!

In the next few weeks i will be getting a website sorted out for PocketPlanets! Il keep you posted.

(side update) Work on the system has now begun, the inventory is functional from the programming side of things and ive managed to create it in such a way that it can mostly just be automated, i am now working on making the system visual and finding fun ways in which the player can interact with their inventory to make it different from other games on the market.

Nearly finished the mining system in PocketPlanets, the current inventory is a place holder.

a little video of the Terra Formation process actually working in game :)

Im so glad its finally working!! I present the wireless power generation system for PocketPlanets! Machines such as solar panels will produce energy, transfer their energy to a battery within range and the batteries will then power the near by Terra-Formation equipment, this is all done automatically without the player having to do anything other than build and maintain their machines.  

Hello! Sorry i haven't been posting as consistently as i usually do but ive been doing all of the nitty gritty programming stuff and there isnt really much to talk about. However i have just about finished creating a functional Solar Panel which can track the location of the sun, as well as coding a wireless power system for the machines in PocketPlanets! This includes being able to have your solar panels, crystal generators, and windmills (coming soon) connect up to batteries which can in tern power all of your terraforming machinery!  

been working on some GUI prototypes for PocketPlanets! These are all just rough ideas as to how you may track your progress in game. Ive been working on colour pallet and typography (fonts) the past few days and im trying to create a clear, simplistic HUD that also isnt boring or generic. 

(also possible machine overhaul coming up within the month (not made a decision yet)).
