In other news, my app-based tabletop game is nearing completion. I thought I was done with it, but took on a freelancer to build a UI to make it look “nice and pro” (ok, a bit less crap than my nasty coder art everywhere). It was ok. But not very inspiring. Then I got sent this and – although it looks a little busy as a static screenshot – it works really well.
I sent out hardware to a few people last year and spent the earlier part of this year refining the gameplay and functionality. Just when I got a final, full game working, I ripped the code to pieces and have spent the last six weeks or so re-writing it.
Here’s where it’s up to (preview from a Unity editor, not a mobile device)
So now it’s working really well and looks quite nice too. I just completed a full game – moving my minis around the tabletop and everything – against the computer! Give it another week or so, and I reckon it should be ready to make a few playthrough videos, if anyone is interested….
