Building units every turn can be tedious. Why not queue them up?

The last time I felt so good was when I was considered "hot" on hotornot.com ~20+ years ago
(yes, it also meant nothing)

Recently I had a spike of new players in #tinygenerals. They started games but often dropped on the first turn without any movement. I thought they didn’t like it or didn’t know what to do. Today I tried the game on my old phone with slow internet and discovered the loading progress bar is broken 🤦♂️

Early version, no graphics yet and I don't know if I will manage to polish it but I made a simplified spinoff on one of the upcoming features for #tinygenerals and my hope is to make a version for the #commodoreamiga #amiga classic and AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS.

I've been under the weather and progress on #tinygenerals and @postreads.co slowed down to a crawl. But new updates are coming for both. TG will get an update tonight/tomorrow, postreads "when it's ready". TG gets also an update of help portal with modding info.

#tinygenerals got a new landing page. The starting page for the game is no longer a list of rooms, and with that I think I migrated all the pages to shadcn and can start building a design system for the future. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Not yet auto-tiling and no proper graphics, but finally worked on the new roads implementation. Previously roads were tiles like forest point. Now road is an overlay/modifier - it modifies the terrain values. Railroads and rivers likely coming soon

I... I.... lost.
Yes, I gave AI the chance to exploit my position - didn't push early for resources, allowed it to gain economical upper hand and... it used it. Recently I spent time on #ai in the game. it's far from perfect but can be a challenge.

Trying to be serious to write a better AI for the game. Wrote myself a debug overlay which shows the influence map and decisions by AI - transitioning to behavior tree for easier debugging and maintenance. (e.g. current AI is too passive - heals too often)

TinyGenerals two factions face to face.
Alliance heavy rocket launcher vs Federation assault tank.
Slow progress on units and terrain pixel art - I hope to replace placeholder units and terrain graphics until end of February

I had a block and burnout but got back. Working now more on the mobile experience. Changing battle screen. Was vs Is. Looks better?

Making games should be as fun as playing them. #tinygenerals just got a working (?) chat and I decided to do something fun (at least for me). When adding AI Bot to the game, they also send a message to the chat...
You may need to be my years old.

And managed to write off one of the points I wanted to do in January for tinygenerals.com - login/register/link with Google and Discord will soon make it's way to production. Just need to test a thing or two. #tinygenerals #indiedev #gamedev

While TinyGenerals won't be (likely) a true 4X as the eXploit part will not be so robust, one of my strong inspirations and nostalgia which drew me to start building is Colonization from 1994 which I played on the Amiga. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtPh...

@petersome.bsky.social gave me this interesting idea. Updated water tiles behavior. The water "waves" towards land mass. Making slow progress on the maps editor #tinygenerals #gamedev

Some days ago I made an entry on my Facebook and now I rewrote it and started a devlog for #tinygenerals - tinygenerals.com/blog/02-ai-j... - on some of the explorations on making an interesting, competitive AI and hopefully a playable online game.

What I'd want to do well in #tinygenerals is AI. The core game should be #pvp (nothing beats scheming humans) but I want the game to be fun to play alone as well. And I get mixed joy with sadness when the new iteration wins or tries flanking (I'm blue)

I made a mistake in #tinygenerals - I want roads but I implemented them as terrain. This means that I'd need to draw each variation of the road (~64 tiles)... for each terrain type (*6). Now with wang tiles and layers I can have roads but also rivers and terrain transitions.

#Tinygenerals -ception. First run of desktop thin-client (Rust/Tauri). When I get there, the first release of apps will be rather thin-client/native wrapper as the core game changes too often for me to maintain parallel dev

#tinygenerals just another update - better battle room, bigger tiles with placeholder graphics and first working version that is playable (!= optimised) on mobile devices. Feedback welcome.

I spent a lot of time on rulesets and factions in tinygenerals.com. And I just fixed a massive bug: I forgot to test how the game works without factions selected. It doesn't. It starts the battle and immediately announces elimination of both players. 🤦
