Video Diary week #7

This is the small summary of week 7 of work. I did almost no coding this week, since i needed more design stuff.
I would say codewise my game is ~80% done.

• I worked a lot on the Medieval Age Units & made alot conzept work for the other ages too.
• I also changed some UI-Textures to hopefully more user friendly Buttons.
• I worked alot on the Logo

Video Diary week #6

• I added 3 fooliage sets with stones and leefs.
• I changed the ground and ground-textures.
• I worked alot on pictograms to make buttons more userfriendly, still needs more work.
  
• I added a new Egypts-Age Unit "The Mummy".
• I added a Textfield for error output like: "Not enough Money!"
• I fixed several bugs.
• I worked on a logo to get some ideas for a final one.

Video Diary week #4 & #5

• I changed the GUI a bit more to reduce more drawcalls (so it's almost done)
  
• The player and the AI can go up to the next age and the geometry changes accordingly
  
• I added geometry for the stone age and the eqypts age.
• I also added new geometry for the meteor and the trees.
  
• I added 2 new units for the egypts age which are mellee and range(player only at the moment)
• I added healthbars for the bases and for the units

Video Diary week #3

• I got rid of almost all old GUI code and use the new Canvas GUI system, to mainly reduce drawcalls, but also to use the new functions of the system.
• I modeled a new Unit which is Ranged to complete the Stone Age Units.
• The AI now make use of all 3 different types of Units.
• I changed the damage system a bit to make the gameplay faster. I still work on the balancing, but i think im pretty close.
• I also tested the game on a tablet specially because of the GUI, and it works fantastic.

Video Diary week #2

• The AI can now build up to 4 towers, depending on the AI-exp. Maybe i change the rules later.
• The AI can build the first turret, based on the exp as well.
• The AI-exp grows over time and by killing player units.
• The Player can now use a Special Attack in the Stone Age called Meteor Shower refresh Time = 30seconds.Duaration = 8seconds. See Screenshot.

Age of Boxes

The Idea: The Game is inspired by the Flash Game "Age of War" and will have around the same and maybe more/other features. But the core features will be the guideline at first.

The Goal: I want to finish a whole game by my own, since i have started alot but could'nt end those Projects. So this Game is also a learn experience for me.

The Style: I want to keep everything simple for now. So i will keep at first a box-ish design by just using cubes in Unity and later on i will do Modeling and Texturing.

Project Start: 07 April 2015

About the Game:
- A Strategygame where you have to defeat the Computers Base
- You upgrade your basetower to open slots for turrets which you can buy and sell
- You can send different Unit-Types (Melee, Range, Big Mellee, maybe later Flying)
- You go through different Ages to be able to build better Units with higher damage and hp
- Each age has better units and turrets
- there might be 3 or 4 Difficulties later on
- As Score might the time be measured

Devices: Priority are Android systems.

About me: I'm 3D Artist(3Ds Max) with a bit of C# knowledge.

Feedback: I am always happy when i get some constructive feedback, ideas and help of course.
