Rebleyama - A new horizon

Keep up to date with the development of the game "Rebleyama". It's a free strategic game developed by a bunch of IT students for their Software Engineering course.

My first animation in photoshop and of course it’s for the @rebleyama guys.

Newst in-game Screenshot

Current state of the master! A real map + mini map! Oh and Zooming and scrolling work perfectly too.

We are really proud of that current state! Go team!

More Rebleyama Icon Art

Since our creative art team has been very hard at work the last couple of weeks we have a lot to share in that department.

So here comes yet another visual preview of how things are going to look in-game!

Oh my gosh! Arthur Legend is so cute! I'm really excited to see the progress going on! Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you so much! The little blue guy loved your kind words!

Actually the whole team loved them. We will definitely keep this up - there are some plans of a programming language change since the uni course this project was originally forended yesterday and we are more free now. But no matter where the behind the scenes journey goes we will keep working and hopefully sharing screenshots, stories and sneak peaks with all of you along the way!!!

Textures

And here we go another more visual update. Here are previews of all the tile textures created so far.

I heard some rumours about deep water as well so be sure that there is more where those came from.

Update

Hello World from the Rebleyama development team!

Time for another update. You might remember the issues we had with the master branch. That bug appears to be fixed, though some calls need to be adapted to work with the fixed class. Long tech talk story short: We are finally ready to add several of our working branches to the master and therefore take a huge step towards a first game play stage.

Over the course of today the following features should be added to the main: Mini Map, Main Menu and stat bars at the screen bottom. You might recall all those features from the mock-ups we realised a few weeks ago. Actual in-game screenshots will follow as soon as a successful merge has been done.

Another update from the Rebleyama Team.

Things are starting to come together while we are working on several different aspects at once. Several branches have been opened, some already ready for a merge with the master branch, some still hard at work. 

Hopefully there will also be more screenshots of the actual game to share soon.

First look at UI

Last week we shared some first looks at the look and feel of the game UI when we published our mockups. Now a week later we really got into implementing those ideas. There is still a bit of work to be done, but things are moving along fast. 

The semester is coming closer to an end and so the development of Rebleyama moves faster and faster as well. We really hope to be able to show more and more of the gameplay as we continue our effort to release a basic gameplay version by the end of May.

Hello from the Rebleyama Development Team

We had quite a busy week implementing the first basic UI elements as well as doing some more work on the server. To keep everyone posted on what’s going on here the mockup for our UI planning. So far these are stand-in pictures for the map and mini-map, however you are getting first glimpses at the basic building and some resources down in the menu.

Another small announcement for this morning: Our amazing artist has decided to join tumblr. Her blog @chriscreativecorner is of course still a work in progress, but if you liked our cover art and icon I highly recommend you follow her for more.

[rebleyama]

Ok. To be completely 2000% honest... I totally love the idea of this game and totally want to play it. Also, I love the art for it. Notifications for this have been set too! Anyways... Can't wait for it!

Wow thank you so much ^^ I just showed your message to the whole team and we are super excited and inspired by this feedback.

We will work extra hard during today's lecture - all thanks to you - to hopefully publish a first, playable beta version soon. 

Our first SCRUM sprints comes to a close tomorrow and I personally feel like we really achieved something over the last few weeks. Unfortunately there is not much to show yet screenshot-wise, but I promise to keep everyone posted on updates and new developments.

Again many thanks for your interest in our project!

Rebleyama - A new horizon

In the year 2418, you are part of the few brave souls that set out on a journey through space to colonise a far-away earth-like planet. While trying to land on this foreign rock, your crew loses control over the craft and has to initiate the emergency landing procedure. As the ship hits the ground, the beacon is damaged and your FTL connection to earth is lost. Fortunately the ship's computer is still intact. It can synthesize a lot of technologies, as long as it is provided with the basic materials needed for their construction. You set out to to collect first resources and repair the beacon, to restore contact with earth, as this is your only chance to get more advanced blueprints and request more colonists. In the meantime it is your goal to claim this world as your own by building Farms, Accommodations and Defence systems. 

Survive and thrive, colonist!
