Prime War Development

It's now been a year! since starting (mostly) daily updates, and things are better. Just looking at the post count for this blog - which is almost exclusively daily updates - I missed about half of the days, which sounds about right, given that three whole months were basically nothing, and I've been trying to give a day or two a week where I don't think about this.

While I finish the Blockdown scenarios and make a playable version for not-me, I am gonna try to do a character card per day. I think this will help keep things fresh and also find the holes in the system that still need to be implemented (I didn't actually evaluate advantage until this past month!)

The new list as it stands (somewhat in order):

The other Two Blockdown Scenarios

make a downloadable version to play/test

Add a character selector/main menu

At least Blockdown scenario 1

Multiplayer/network play

UI upgrade ~in progress

Single player/multi-character play

Controller support

Progress P.R.I.S.M., Parse, Luminary, Beacon, High Fashion

Preservation

Conquest

Glory

Gloomworld

Terra Forma

Antibodies

Outbreak

Dragon's Cerberus

and here's the update of yesterday's stuff:

new Boost card: Awareness

If You'd like to see someone specific next, I thought we could have a little poll about it.

in upgrading move_board_token_action, I think it never truly worked?

refactored targetIdentifier to store/use the metatargets for faster access

started Black Frost

Added new target Identifier Adjacent Self (Hexes adjacent to your token)

added new event hook: Movement Resolved

fixed some movement math with distance moved

fixed Target Radius Self returning tokens instead of targets

realized we need a more robust rewind/checkpoint (barrel through can move people, haka can start over movement, but that only resets him)

fixed some ambiguity about tokens, targetable tokens, and targets in the targetIdentifier

realized I am not handling target managers and character managers correctly for minions/targets

Black Frost is next! should be pretty quick, his main gimmick is Root and pushing, which are both already implemented.

caches still not tripping correctly?

found/fixed target ongoings weren't set active when introduced at the start of the scenario

found/fixed listenerActions weren't getting the correct characterName when instanced

found/fixed side decks not being added to searchable deck group

made a sneaky way to just activate any ability for debugging purposes

finally got draw card working!

shuffle side deck on creation

correctly reset total moved distance when starting over a move action

corrected events publishing the objects name instead of the character_name associated with it

got "show Deck" button working!

added scenario token display to scenario details display

added support for scaled setup values (i.e. s-2, s+4)

hooked up win condition: All Trophies removed

added end of round remove trophy token if sky-scraper was undamaged, additional remove if any sentinel invests a boost

found flaw in actions with selectable values (spend focus, exert), where the base value would be overridden when players selected a value.

added new action: Adjust Scenario Tokens

added new targetIdentifier: Play Area, Sentinel, Card, Hand, Keyword: Player areas of sentinels with any card containing the keyword in their hand

added check for if less than the total number of candidates needs to do an action (invest)
