Genesis Network™ | GAME ECONOMY - WORK IN PROGRESS | (8.8.2020)

• Had recently economy significantly extended (4 additional resources, 4 new classes of upgradeable unit abilities) - some UI wiring/Code mirroring still needed;
• Complicated issues were made first - training, upgrade queues, save.load, dynamic UIs
• Simple issues were left for last and are currently unfinished - main UI animations/configuration. building placement, construction sequence, procedural structures;

SPECS

• 100% Blueprints;
• ZERO Event Tick/UMG Bind;
• On demand cycles, most timed at 1s, few at 0.02s, manual UI updates;
• Minimum size for save/upload packages - data is translated and only the essential, non-retrievable information is saved; Per Class Box: ID = item/instance index;
• All game progressions - numeric, text, textures, actors - are csv spreadsheet imports;
• Flexible architecture - after replacing core components, only a few days are necessary to get back to full functionality;
• All interfaces are dynamic, all items are buffered and recycled, even between different menus - no accumulated garbage;
• Modular, reusable, versatile, multi-functional components; easy to refactor, change, extend, replace;
• Everything on the map is props, all data is processed in less than 15 specialized modules; they can handle hundreds of in-game objects;
• Custom/Dynamic Day/Night/Environment controller;
• Unified architecture - similar modules have similar design;
• Procedural structures using instanced meshes for repetitive items for accurate placement/performance;
• Cryptic Gallery™ - Physical art, integration as digitized media;

MOST NOTABLE FEATURE

• Extremely long game upgrade timeline - more than 400.000 upgrades to perform.

ROADMAP

• Game Economy (GE) → Combat Systems (CS) → Server Structuring (SS) → Game Ready (GR);
• Multiple gameplay modes, from simple to complex;

AVAILABILITY

• We are making a game and sharing our progress;
• Bridging the gap between multi-functional engines and turn key projects - it takes a tremendous amount of time to build large projects with minuscule teams;

STUDIO

• Made by 3 people, 2 working full time on the project for 3 years;
• Very difficult to achieve - poor architecture leads to infinite branching, infeasible to maintain and extend;
• Fully self funded to date, but extremely limited in resources capping overall potential;

Many thanks to Epic Games and the amazing game development community sharing information and tutorials. This is for all of you.
