• Lets talk about patch 28

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  Ok, so patch 28 for gratuitous space battles is out, bringing the game to version 1.28. Hurrah. Lets take a looky at the two big new things ( in addition to the major crash bug that was somehow still in the game, and is hopefully now hunted down and killed ). CUSTOM CHALLENGES This is a big deal. If you go ...

• Scenario Editor

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  I’m a big fan of modding and game editors. people love to tweak a game they way they want it, and I support that 100%. So with this in mind, here is a work-in-progress screenshot of the custom scenario editor. The idea is that there is a new way to launch a challenge (maybe from the challenges window), rather ...

• Fixing a single GSB bug

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  Step 1: Where is the game crashing? it crashes here: void GUI_TitleBar::SetTitle(std::string str) on an assert GASSERT(Width > 0); Width is clearly not set right when we set the title. Cue lots of hunting through every window that uses that code to check that they never set their title when they are yet to set ...

• Online integration fun

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  You know what’s missing in GSB? Yes, yes I know you want a big 4x style campaign game built around it. ONE DAY maybe, but certainly not by the end of the week. One thing that is not quite so huge and unwieldy for a short term project is the area of online community. Player A reads a forum post by player B, and ...

• Nearly finished supply limits

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  The long talked about supply limits stuff is all done and nearly ready for the 1.27 patch. That patch has some other stuff like a challenge fix, increasing the taunt to 256 characters, some balance changes and introducing a hidden, not very supported ability to manually edit the maximum zoom out distance. Anyway, as ...

• Tweaking Supply Limits

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  I’ve been doing lots of stuff around the release of the Tribe expansion pack , so I’ve got behind on work for the next patch. I ended up taking some time to re-balance a few of the least-used weapons, and do some admin stuff, like tweak the challenges code so that it doesn’t show you older challenges in the ...

  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  Ok, so it’s finally here. The long awaited invasion of the space tree-huggers* is upon us: THE TRIBE!!!!!!!!! bwahahaha Video! I’ve never released an expansion pack for a game before, but I think GSB was the perfect game to do so. I have no idea how it will sell. I hope to at least pay back the art costs (which ...

  Here is some more information on how the supply limits stuff will be presented This first image shows the choose mission screen, after I hit the new ’supply limits’ button for a specific scenario. (The button only appears if limits have been defined). Only modules which are actually limited are shown in the list. ...

• Supply Limits

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  One of the naturally occuring design conundrums with GSB is preventing there emerging any single killer strategy that always wins. I’ve put a lot of time and effort into avoiding this, both before and after releasing the game. One way to do this is the conventional Rock Paper Scissors design, where there is a ...

• Challenges and Mods and Expansions

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  One of the arguments against expansion packs for games is that they ’split the community’ It’s a real fear, and it’s one that Company Of Heroes solved cunningly by patching the content for everyone, but only letting purchasers play with those units. That might work for GSB, allowing people to fight against ...

• Testing new stuff…

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  I’ve been play testing a bunch of battles today. It’s scary how many times you need to play a scenario to even be sure it poses a proper challenge. I think I’m maybe half way there, in terms of the two extra maps. When I make the scenarios, I try to put together a fleet that will put up a bit of a battle ...

• Expansion pack underway

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  There will be an expansion pack for GSB, and it’s still a little way off, but I did some work on it today so it’s fresh in my mind. Before I release it, there will be another mainstream GSB patch, mainly to improve the modding support to tidy things up and make mods more manageable. After the pack, who knows ...

• The Cellar of Death and Expansion packs

  
  Cliffski's Blog — Authority: 418
  Eventually there will be an expansion pack for GSB. I have the mental plans for at least 2 major add-ons for the game, plus tons of little cool things that need to be improved and added, time and sales permitting. I’m currently working 50/50 on bug fixing and tweaks versus support for expansion pack stuff. The ...

  I’ve been watching big battleships shoot each other. It’s what I do for a job. cool huh? The interesting bit is that despite doing a future-tech sci-fi war game, I find that the images and footage that is most appropriate is WW2. There is a darned good reason that so many good games are set in WW2, and this is it: ...
