This blog is about a new game-in-development, in which physics based constructing, wandering and surviving in an endless, unique world is the basic scene. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25769009-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Plans

At some point of game development delivering the product to the customers has to be thought. For Clover that time is now!

We've been planning that the first release will be a tech preview, an alpha-like version which contains only essential features and tools for modding and content creation. It'll be updated with relatively stable features and gameplay content. Storyline and that kind of features probably aren't added to the tech preview.

We'd also like to accept prototypes and mods built by users because it's hard to get all the great ideas by yourself :p So forums or similar can be expected sooner or later after initial release, depending on response.

All that for free of charge of course, although there'll be a voluntary funding at some point if people get interested.

50 000 lines of code

Yay, there are now 50 000 lines and almost 500 source files of C++. That should be reason enough to make a new post :p Without further ado, here's a small peek for the things we've done during the past months:

Resource system has been refactored to be more automatized (with templates and traits). Now adding a new resource type is much easier than before. Also unloading and reloading resources during the game are supported for every resource type.

Physics system: collision filters, -callbacks and materials

Minimal inventory implementation

Next to-do:

Resource editor in which models, materials etc. can be modified during the game. There'll be a video update of it when it's usable.

Refactor world entity system to be component based, which will make iterating faster with less bugs. World entities should be able to be created at runtime in the editor.

Node-based animation system

Also, our audio guy Niko is doing some background ambient tests, one of which you can hear in the latest video.

#game engine

A collision sound system is quite ready; physics objects have their own materials, which form material pairs which in turn have their own collision sounds. (Only one sound used for now.)

There's also a simple world generation in operation.

Dynamic saving, loading and physics optimization

A few new features are ready:

If you wonder in what kind of situations those connections mentioned in the video will get tricky, a case in point would be teleports. Teleports have a connection to each other and if only one of them is loaded in the world, teleporting to other is impossible and that isn't supposed to happen. But that's an issue that has already been solved and needs only to be implemented :P
