Fixed version FoF V0.2 out now!

Hi, folks.

I heard that the previous version didn't seem to start up for some players, while it worked fine for myself, so...

I did some proper research on how this strange behaviour occurs. I applied a fix and the game seems to work fine for now, although I temporarily have to go on without my achievement submenu. This means that you still get achievements, but you can't view them anymore. Hopefully that's bearable.

I'll think about how to implement it again. Until then, I wish you a lot of fun with FoF V0.2.

Some changes I made:

- Change to get random items increased from 40% to 80%
- Added a small explaination on how to start playing

Update (the most casual title of any blog entry)

Just a few more screens showing some of the features of the game. Enjoy.

Afraid that you can't provide enough Food for your population? Have you ever thought about leaving that task to some harpy sisters who recently opened a delivery service? Well, why not.



Like ressource collecting quests? Nah? Okay, here they are anyway. The Arcane Collectors give quests to worthy adventurers. It's about collecting as many resources as possible that they can sell across the sea. Maybe they'll give you something valuable in exchange?



Can you go to war, but in a smart way? Of course. Just destroy the empty lots of your opponents before they can build upon them. Or destroy their Forests and Mines before they're able to even purchase them. Lack of resistance makes it easier for you to win.





The full game will be out soon. Stay tuned.

Der 5. Pfad becomes Fields of Fire

I finally came up with an idea for an English title for the game which I'm ok with. Der 5. Pfad will be Fields of Fire from now on.



But that's not all. As said in my last blog, many of the graphics in the game have recently been replaced during the development process.

In the meantime, much more stuff happened. Unfortunately, I've lost 2 or 3 weeks of progress because I accidentally replaced my backup folder (as well as the original folder) with an outdated version. Now I have to do several things again, but that's not the end of the world. That said, bad luck won't stop me from completing this game!

As for the positive things, I can say that proofreading is going quite well. I've also gotten some suggestions for improving certain game mechanics and I'll therefore work on this a bit longer as planned.

Hope you like what you see. Stay tuned!

We all don't like ripped graphics!

In another forum, a user told me that my game contained ripped graphics which I wasn't aware of. This mainly affects the graphics of the buildings. So what do we think about ripped graphics?

Well, I don't like ripped graphics.

You don't like ripped graphics as well.

In fact, we all don't like ripped graphics!

Well, I took three days off to replace these buildings with legally usable ones. Since I had no clue about which graphics were taken from other games, I've decided to just replace them all! It was a proper piece of work editing these graphics to fit into my game, but in my eyes, the result definitely pays off; the overall picture looks much better now. I don't regret this step and I'm quite happy that I decided to go it.



(Well, it seems like I have to edit this RTP-ship quite a lot to make it not stand out that much in comparison to the rest.)





Graphics:

• Enterbrain
• Adam Saltsman
• Beast (opengameart)


I hope you like this Update. Let me know what you think about the new look of the buildings. :)
