Design Document - Version 2

Time for a small update! Today we are releasing Version 2 of Konrad's Design Document for Update 7 - Combat.

Once again, the information and designs in the document are all subject to change and Konrad is tweaking these designs daily.

Design Document - Version 2

The second iteration of the document we’re releasing features 'Phase-1' of a '3-Phase' combat implementation. This document focuses on Warbands, March Mode, Controls and Unit Generation

This time it's a 35 page PDF file and once again, it's probably isn’t going to interest everyone, but feel free to have a look over it and tell us what you think. We'll release another next week!

Keep an eye out for a video featuring Combat related questions answered by Konrad coming next week.

What have the team been up to this week?

Over on the 22cans official website we post our Daily Dev Activity which showcases what the team are doing/programming/breaking/tweaking every day. Here's a brief rundown of what the team have been working on this week:

 

Konrad - Design

• Continued design on the structure, rules and flow of combat scenarios. ​
• Refining basic warband and combat mechanics and formulas. Basically getting the maths right.

Andy - Production

• Clarified some design decisions for Bugs that Richard is working on.
• Tasked up a load of stuff for the next Godus update and plugged it into JIRA.
• Talked to another new potential Godus artist.

Fabs - Programming

• Bringing back some of the old code from before the mobile builds became a thing, which might lead to being able to zoom out further (no promises yet).
• Worked on the top secret project a lot more.

 
 
Richard - Programming

• Fixed an issue with more than one story fragment unlocking at a time.
• Investigated some more text display issues.
• Fixed an issue with gems on Android.
