Dynamic Spec Draft Complete!


Just finished the first draft of the spec.... printing as we speak(damn it took a while). I wrote up constructables tonight, which is the system that will cover constructing buildings, wagons, heavy weapons, and mines. The only really new thing people might not have heard of here is the blueprinting system for construction.

Blueprinting allows people specified by the tribe leaders to create plans for structures which mobs will try to complete, and players will be able to see and help work on as well. I really noticed during the prototype phase that group construction was hard if there wasnt very very low level micro management etc so this should help.

The spec is 61 pages at the moment. You can see it zoomed way out in the pic with this post. Ill be revising this over the month of January, and ill be working on finding the best system to design dynamic on in terms of programming language and other supporting architecture. Ill be reporting here as normal. Dont expect to hear from me until finals finish, time to buckle down. C-ya guys then.
