Hi folks. I have good news. I am making a game.
|
|
|
|
After tinkering a lot on my game engine i thought it would be nice to have some
|
|
"real result", to be able to present the product of my endeavours. I plan to
|
|
make a talk at our local hacker symposium
|
|
"[Datenspuren](https://datenspuren.de)" and maybe even at 35C3. As a showcase
|
|
I want to present a game that is more than just a simple clone of an existing
|
|
game. I already have that. No. I want an original game.
|
|
|
|
What I came up with is a game, where you play as an intruder infiltrating a
|
|
company with your main task being getting a copy of their database. But you
|
|
have to path your way through their multi-floor building seeking clues and data
|
|
traces how to access the next floor and ultimately the server room.
|
|
|
|
For this I am starting a devlog, to show my progress as I keep on developing the
|
|
game.
|
|
|
|
So far I have my engine [affection](https://github.com/nek0/affection) as my
|
|
foundation, for drawing I use
|
|
[NanoVG-bindings](https://github.com/cocreature/nanovg-hs) and as something new
|
|
to me, I am using an entity-component-system called
|
|
[ecstasy](https://github.com/isovector/ecstasy). For now I have spent the last
|
|
month or so figuring out, how to procedurally generate sane floors for the
|
|
building and how to use the entity-component-system. So far, the whole thing
|
|
looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty neat, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
That's all for now. See you soon!
