Queen's Game : to v0.6 :)

[Borkenone]

did a quick chick,
my thoughts are in the team discussion E-mail.

->epoxymoron
I am glad that you like our project, and thank you for your feedback.
the 7 random events are those which end each turn.
Yes, it is exactly what we intend to do. The storyline at the Palace is part of a scheme of betrayers to overthrow your government.

PS : does "epoxy" refers to the resin ?

->Borkenone
I saw your e-mail, and I answer you as quickly as I can (this is quite a big one ^^)
I worked on an arduino project in recent days : I am creating a remote-controlled car !

haha nope just the weirdest response i heard to "what are you stuck on stupid" "fuck you, i'm an epoxy moron"

this was back in the 1990's so i doubt resin was involved, and i mean what were the different seven events, i know the one with picture of a rat, and the slaves, and the one with the beggar

[Borkenone]

and i mean what were the different seven events, i know the one with picture of a rat, and the slaves, and the one with the beggar

the original two: one with the pile of jewelry, and one with lots of picture.
and there's one that nothing happens. that makes the six of them.
though I have yet to encounter the 7th one.

Hello there !

We are now working on v0.6
More precisely, we are working on the board game played by elite people through the world : the Queen's Game.

Here is the concept :





Do not hesitate to feedback

[Borkenone]

before anything, I think maybe you should clean the opening post a little, like put older changelog in [spoiler] box. it's kind of getting too long.

question: does playing the game within the game has any effect on to the game itself?

[Ekoj]

yes you are right.

it has. It will be a means to conquer ennemies territories, getting interesting trades or other things.
and why not having a effect on character stats.

[Ostinious]

So are you still working on the game? Is everything alright?

[Borkenone]

From what I know, Ekoj's internet has some problem recently.
We had some discussion over e-mail, there's some progress but I don't know when he will be able to upload the update.

[Ostinious]

Hey are you gonna update it? Or have you droped the project?

[Ekoj]

The project isn't dropped; even if it seems to be ^^
Let's say I was annoyed by technical problems, and I felt bored working on the project several hours per day without success.

The game is still in the back of my mind.
Yet do not expect a quick update, I have got some priorities currently.

I am glad you asked some news, I thought no one cared about this project

[phantomdemon2]

Lurker here. I tend not to reply to stuff but I enjoyed your game. My biggest problem was that there wasn't a whole lot of content. I hope to see more in the future though.

[Dead2112man]

I think sometimes we just let developers do what ever they need to do, even if it is done by going silent for a while.

[Borkenone]

Hum, since you didn't seem very enthusiastic in the last team discussion mail.
And that you didn't send any more of them. I though you abandoned this project.

[Ekoj]

phantomdemon2 -> yep, lacking content is my major problem. I need to find a way to create content faster, because it is too much time consuming.

Dead2112man -> that's right, I do the same. For instance, I am patiently waiting the new update of supermother, the game by Tropic.

Borkenone -> sorry for the silence. Once I work again on the project seriously, I'll tell you

phantomdemon2 -> yep, lacking content is my major problem. I need to find a way to create content faster, because it is too much time consuming.

I don't know if this helps, but when it comes to content i find that a random event generator is a good way to fill in the blanks. In essence you need a generator that takes a few generic variables and spits out a scenario. The generator itself does all the work for you. Depending on how complex you decide to make your generator it can spit out thousands more scenarios than you could ever programme.

In my case i have created a battle generator. It requires the type of terrain, number and strength of enemy armies and any requests for specific terrain features. What it spits out is a complete battle instance complete with map and armies ready to be run. For the time it takes to write 1 string and five or six numbers i can create a specific tailored scenario, or i can just run it without feeding it any variables and allow the randomiser to select the perameters for me. It comes up with a unique configuration every time and is lovely and easy to upgrade.

[Ekoj]

evildumdum ->
that s exactly what I was thinking about
I'll probably do it with Python; it should be efficient.
thanks for the advice

[Destriss]

I find the game really good, to see what it will give once finished, my biggest regret is that we have different images regarding the queen, If there are events with several women Different I would understand, but here for the same person we have several images, I think we must work on this!

[evildumdum]

I main in python as well. Give me a bell if you hit any roadblocks and i'll see about helping out.

I talked with Ekoj about that issue already, but that's the direction he want, so, oh well.
