Seeing this thread for the first time, just wanting to say, looks very nice - lots of love in there.

Keep it up!

Glad you're back. The last few shots look promising for sure.

Like, there's micromanagement that allows you to build elaborate structures, but you also have automation for the mining and such. The perfect scope for a building game.

This is really beautiful! Do you have any plans to have ramps/slopes (like in DF) to make the terrain smooth?

You may wish to check out MonoGame, it seems like a fairly straight-forward way of porting XNA based projects to many platforms.

BACK. OFF. Bleak only gets to have ONE creepy stalker-ish fan, and that's ME. BITCH.

I've been working on drastically improving my GUI. Writing a widget system from scratch inspired by the Qt system (which I use a lot at work).



What I have so far:
  • Widget hierarchy
  • Basic layout management
  • Events for clicking, hovering, etc.
  • Buttons
  • Checkboxes
  • Sliders
  • Combo boxes
  • Group boxes
  • Radio buttons
  • Skins
  • Window animations (tweening,etc)
    • Screen transitions

    I've also pixeled all the widgets myself (to save my artist some headaches). So I hope it doesn't look too bad!

Wow, how did I miss this? Or have I missed really it (it's quite a massive thread)...

...maybe I ignored it though because it's XNA, which is evil, evil, imo since it locks you in. No Mac or Linux version.  Cry

Either way, regardless of how neat it looks, it will live and die (beyond its hardcore fanbase) by the intuitivity and accesibility of the user interface. I still haven't played a game like this which has nailed it (and that includes Towns and Gnomoria).

The graphics are the most impressive I've seen so far, though (I personally didn't enjoy the final look of A Game of Dwarves). Let's hope the UI will match it!

Awesome.  I've been working on my own set of GUI-widgets recently so I'd be interested in hearing any details you care to give on how it all works.

One critique:  I really can't read that text.  Well, I can, just about, but it makes my eyeballs feel like they are trying to tear themselves out of my head.

The stroke makes such a small, thin font look messy. Maybe it's made worse than it actually is by the screenshot being scaled down, but all I see is "Frogneas Bar".

I put my GUI to good use and made the world generation screen slightly more interactive. You can see a bunch of different layers which contribute to the overall world, and set the random seed. Here, I've chosen to view "Faults" of the world, and have chosen the seed "Bleak":



I've also made some pitiful debug enemies that I call "dark dwarves." Incidentally, they are the first enemies in the game, and the first way that dwarves can die. They just sort of run at each other and hit each other with the mining picks until one or the other is dead (this just involves the guy disappearing in a puff of smoke right now). To do this I had to implement sensor callbacks and allow dwarves to decide when something is "threatening". Dark dwarves are always threatening. I mean, just look at them.

No way, you code for 7 years only? With such amazing effects? Epileptic
And you can add so much in such little time? Who, Me?

Implemented barrels today:



General containers were actually pretty simple to implement. They are just another kind of "zone" (like stockpiles and rooms) which are attached to an entity rather than a voxel or set of voxels. So the AI already knows how to get things out of barrels and stock them in barrels. The only complication is that now barrels can be inside stockpiles (and in fact any number of containers can be nested inside other ones). This actually creates an interesting paradox where you can put barrels inside other barrels, and keep doing this forver, storing everything on one tile. I will fix this exploit at some point.

Will the final barrels have those numbers on them? I think it doesn't look too good, and it'll be confusing with a lot of barrels.

It's a debug thing for me. Soon I will implement tool tips. It will show data about whatever your mouse is over.
