Salvation – Income Rates and the code for happyness
Man was I feeling bummed out last night – all my complicated stuff was working fine but I had a ton of minor bugs around which was annoying me to no end. Also the way Unity uses its Setactive-ness is beyond annoying in my opinion. Anyhow I desided to spend 5 hours sleeping, overslept by like 2 hours but I still have 14 hours left.
Not started on assets yet, but I’ve decided that I’m done adding features to what I have thus far. It’s now a decision between what my game can do – and how my game looks. So I gotta choose looks as I think it can do a fair bit 😀
The sleep helped, and I added Income rates into my game. So building a factory won’t just give you flat out money but also an income rate very X amount of time. at the moment this time is every second, but I need to do balancing once i can acutally sit and play my game for a bit.
Happyness now also has this. So the happyness rating is working properly now, apart from balancing. I would have liked to have more factors include this happyness functionality. As at the moment it just leaving refugees (-) and security buildings (+)
I need to rework the code for happyness, it’s pretty messy at the moment.
– Improvement ideas –
- Make more use of happyness rating, if I make an events system I should then use it in there as well.
- Fix how the happyness works, it needs its own class. Perhaps then I can add other factors in easily (such as hunger/sickness etc)
- Tweak how my income rate is repeated. There’s a more efficient way of doing that…it’s on the tip of my tongue!
