Take your time

[vital wadi]

Maybe we can go back to the old waysTM for a bit

[covert leaf]

Gonna redraw the characters for fun

[flint ivy]

Yeah, go ahead and do some games, maybe that'll get me inspired

[foggy mural]

[vital wadi]

I'm working fulltime now but I'll try to backport the new events

The ones that can work

[oblique anvil]

Congrats on your job by the way

[clear mist]

Could try helping with that if i figure out how, got a bit too much time in the last few days

[covert leaf]

And this too

[flint ivy]

It is time,
I have decided to rework our rainy games simulator.
The current code base is a massive 2k line long mess. And I have learned much about streamlining programs since I last worked on it. And I feel it would be easier to renake it from scratch, as well as in a game engine. (I'm sorry Simon. It's just a lot easier to work with in unity, and it has a lot better of performance, it also works better for a new format I plan on using) I plan on having all of the characters simulated by simulating their positions, and movement. As well as this, I think it would be cool to make it so that you can sponsor tributes by paying in words

[covert leaf]

👀

[clear mist]

Good luck!

[flint ivy]

Thank you, I'll try not to die to scope creap, and get this done Simi fast

[vital wadi]

If positions are too much to handle, persistent items were pretty solid by itself

[vital wadi]

Would you be reorganizing event syntax?

[clear mist]

Oh god

It'd probably require rewriting either way to adjust for the new system but i can only speculate

[flint ivy]

with how im planning it, im not sure how you would be able to make events like we have been, due to events needing a lot more things to happen, and if an event needs specail conditions, i would need to program those condition/effects in

but if i do find a way to have it, yes, it would be VERY different

[clear mist]

Yuuuup here we go rewriting events /j /silly /lh

[flint ivy]

I also plan on trying to stream some of the development

[clear mist]

[flint ivy]

alright, gonna hop in #297219247992733696 to stream, feel free tp hop in

[clear mist]

Damn, midnight

[flint ivy]

dang we really that offset? its 6 pm for me right now (5 pm when you setn that)

[rigid sierra]

Re-simulating and damn i cant believe i got the most true statement ever-

[flint ivy]

this is Arti's dream day (dont think about it too hard)

[foggy mural]

its just a bag of rocks

[flint ivy]

Day1 update:
Made the basic Item and Creature script, gave Creatures basic AI; random movement, run from predators, hunt prey, and run to a shelter when nearing the end of a cycle. Also made turn order for all Cretures. Also added some sprites to creatures (see attached)
Attached: Bob army

[clear mist]

Europe

[flint ivy]

Bob Army destroys Red Lizard (low res so can post on discord, I will explain everything that's going on later in development, tho you can prob get it out of me if you pry)

[vital wadi]

Man went like

[flint ivy]

Day 2 Update (early, gonna go see the minecraft movie) today was pretty much only creature AI, changed the combat from just "predator eat prey instantly" to now creatures fight by taking turns, have different behaviors based on what items they have (a lizard bite or a vulture's harpoon are considered items/weapons for simplicity) if a creature has no item, they run, if they do, then they can approach if its a melee or back off if it has a ranged weapon. No functionality to pick up items yet.
Also added relationships between creatures, when attacked, a creature will call for it's allies to help it (as seen in video above, Bob's army teamed up to fight the red) cooperative creatures will auto team up like yellow/orange lizards.

[covert leaf]

[flint ivy]

Day 3 Update: made a little animation for attacking creatures, and creatures when they get hit, started work on item pick up and dropping (its harder than it looks)

[covert leaf]

👀

[flint ivy]

Day 4-5 Update:
finished Item pickup functionality
added a mode to skip over NPC turns while still doing them
made creatures able to take more than one action per turn
gave creatures that can't pick up item able to eat food items on the ground (for creatures that can pickup items, they have to pick it up and then eat it)
started work on "Memories" where creatures can make Memories on where things are, like a spot with a bunch of food. or a loot stash
made a few Items' functions, like the rarefaction cell doubling the speed of the holder

[lilac wind]

this is becoming more and more like an actual game and not just a hunger games simulator

and im all for it

[covert leaf]

[covert leaf]

Let Dusk and Scraps sweep the game, Blor

[lilac wind]

dusk is dying on day 1

that little guy won't do shit to anyone

[covert leaf]

NOOO IT CAN'T BE

[covert leaf]

He would do shit as he can place himself into the top tiers

[lilac wind]

his only feat is blinding and killing a scavenger

what would he do against someone like apex

[covert leaf]

Tricking a numbskull

[lilac wind]

would he like

[covert leaf]

They may have the feats of a great hunter but easily can be outsmarted

[lilac wind]

use his cuteness to distract them

or something

[covert leaf]

Maybe, as long as they aren't that hungry

I remembered an art where I made Apex swallow a Rivulet pup

[lilac wind]

what

[covert leaf]

[lilac wind]

uhh

[covert leaf]

But don't worry, Apex will get outsmarted as always

As long as they aren't in the Songs of Alcenta au

[flint ivy]

oh to complement the more andvanced AI, the stats that are provided are also more in-dept

[covert leaf]

[flint ivy]

Day n/a Update:
Made players able to propose alliances, and the possibility of one backstabbing another
Backstabbing happens in the shelter
Added most items that I can bother adding
Started work on the map

[flint ivy]

Bumpdate: working on other stuff, have a convention coming up that im making a thing for that is first in priority, sorry. will return to the simulator after

[vital wadi]

Convention?!?! Good luck

[covert leaf]

👀

[flint ivy]

bump

[clear mist]

[lilac wind]

rain games...

[flint ivy]

I know rainy games stocks are low, but when I release the new rainy games Sim, the stock will go up, buy now while low! (Totally not a pump and dump sceme fr fr)

[covert leaf]

I still stand with the rainy games

[lilac wind]

bump

[flint ivy]

Uh, almost done with the project for the convention, but there is other stuff, still got art attack stuff so there won't be any progress until at least June

[flint ivy]

the convention grows nearer, the poject grows complete

(bump)

[clear mist]

[random shadow]

[covert leaf]

[foggy mural]

cant wait for rainy games chat to follow in the footsteps of skong

[flint ivy]

Update: convention complete. Shoulder pet project worked, but did break halfway through, got to meet a friend through so outing was positive

[covert leaf]

[cerulean glacier]

Woa

[tough crane]

@upbeat garden

[flint ivy]

wasn't Epoch already in this thread

[tough crane]

Shh

[flint ivy]

well thank you Crippycoop (read status/prn), you have inspired me to continue working on the rainy games sim by reminding me that this thread exists
(time to read my spaghetti code i haven't looked at in months )

[tough crane]

Yay !! we are winners

[flint ivy]

I must ask tho, what does everyone think a good cost would be for sponsorships, cause it would be interesting to be able to Sponsor an OC but a cost would be needed to make sure that someone couldn't just give an OC a million spears and food
I know story poker nights used words that you were "supposed" to write, but not sure how that would work here
feel free to give yall thoughts

(if no one likes the idea, then i can just scrap it)

[lilac wind]

i think a hard cap could work
for example you could only give an oc maybe two spears or a few pieces of food, and once you do that you cannot do it again for the rest of that round

[flint ivy]

i was thinking maybe a money system, where everyone gets some money, and then thy use it to buy stuff for their ocs, and any leftover gets saved to the next rainy games

[vital wadi]

Word debt

[flint ivy]

day 2.56 x E14 Update:
added the ability to give Sponsorships, a button to go through turn order
Added perception and stealth
Added a few more creatures such as Vultures, Scavs... checks notes oh, thats all of them.
uhh....
added a trade item type, but no trading is done yet
worked on the OC submission fourm
here you can submit your OC now just because

[fleet pine]

Interesting...

[clear mist]

"Fuck it, singularity bomb times two, i'll write a 100k oneshot"

[covert leaf]

Oh boy

We going word debt again

[flint ivy]

is everyone fine with the (very nice and respectful) peer pressure of writing?

[fleet pine]

I think it's fine, though we should probably cap it off.

Like, maximum of "x" points spent per session.

[flint ivy]

Bump cause progress stopped, writing shaders is too much fun

[fleet pine]

As in Minecraft shaders or the general definition of shaders?

[flint ivy]

In general shaders in unity
Their application is far wider than just graphics, which make them entertaining to make

[flint ivy]

Fineeeee, ill dig the rainy games out

[covert leaf]

👀

Timer reset

[foggy mural]

i implore everyone here to look up the woolly chafer beetle

[flint ivy]

No way! They're like the beetle version of a slik moth!

[flint ivy]

alright, i think i can come back to this, im gonna leave this behind, its been too long, and I think i could do better with something else
I wont give out my ideas so that I can just do stuff without putting a expectation on me

[flint ivy]

Update: have gotten the basic program down , it can take in Player data and creature data
and then place them on a grid based map to run around

[fleet pine]

I knew it. The Bob Family has been gathering too many members.

It is becoming too powerful.

[flint ivy]

about that...
its all Bob

[fleet pine]

Oh god.

Bob has infiltrated this corner of stories. It must be sealed off to prevent further damage.

[flint ivy]

oh no! CeleBecca has fallen down a well and can't get out to tell anyone about the Bobs

[flint ivy]

Clare! get your large ears off of the Text!

[flint ivy]

Bump: Please hold, brain is being manic

[red falcon]

Wait, what?

My Winner is the... wait the baby!?

[flint ivy]

the rot got the rot lol

[red falcon]

Lol yeah.
And the first logical and in character thing I saw was Arificer killed Scavengers with a spear! XD
Then later when I did another run, the first thing that happened was 3 people ganged up on Inv. XD

We should see if we can do the Death sprites for those who die. You are able to also custom their death pictures. Perhaps using the Death Slugcat icons from Arena mode.

[lone shale]

Here's a cast list for the Rainy Games, now including Watcher creatures

Naturally, beware of watcher spoilers

[lone shale]

Plus a version with even teams

[red falcon]

Awww. Monk just being a good scug!

This would be a fun thing to see get animated.

As soon as the canon fires, Artificer, Hunter, Lizard and Scavenger turn immediately turn towards Inv.
Inv: owo;;;

Watcher: As soon as the games begin. ._. Vanishes.
No one sees Watcher in the games again. XD

[red falcon]

Pic 1- Sibling rivalry. X3

Pic 2- For some reason. I think it was Saint's idea.
Pic 3- "That's not fear. That's Respect!"
Pic 4- Inv has went through hell and survived!

[gloomy yoke]

3ije

[quartz bison]

do you think five pebbles did it on purpose

[timid sail]

fact: five pebbles made up his backstory so people would feel bad for him

[hollow quartz]

[quartz bison]

Fair reaction

[red falcon]

[foggy mural]

oh hey its the animation that got me into rw

[covert leaf]

He waa'd

[red falcon]

Survivor Waaaaaaaaas.
Monk Waa... waaa... waaa...
Hunter ROARs
Inv... ... ... does that thing with their eyes.

[covert leaf]

Yeah, I know the animatic

[red falcon]

The brothers win!

Survivor got 3 kills and Monk got none, he's a good banana.

[flint ivy]

This is getting to fanfic levels of inactivity

[red falcon]

I still play around on it a few times. XD

[random shadow]

Bumping this

Late merry Christmas Rainy Gamers!

[flint ivy]

merry rain-mas

[red falcon]

Happy Wawa Year!

[languid monolith]

anyone have a save game code for the rainy games? (no ocs please, just canon characters)

[languid monolith]

Do you have the save game code? :3

[red falcon]

https://brantsteele.com/hungergames/classic/r.php?c=PchUsQ68

[languid monolith]

tysm!

[red falcon]

The King just signed his own death warrant. XD

And the Slugcats forgot to give the Slugpups food also.
