  • On Mac I have everything maximised, so I have to drag the thumbnail on top of another thumbnail, which then splits them unevenly, so I have to fix that, then to undo it you have to understand maximize one half (and to get back to where you started at least) re maximize and drag it back I to it’s position. Plus there are the steps to take an existing tab and make it its own window in the first place.

    Compared to like right clicking a tab and “show on the side” or however it will work…






  • There is this third layer in my “phase 2” plan where you can set up defences in outpost regions and get an income from them if you can defend them, and the higher the local area threat the more often it needs defence, so it encourages you to be quiet in the associated raid map, more noise means it draws them in and threat level increases for next raid, strategy layer also gives you ways to get around it a little, like sending a team into the forest and letting off some fireworks, or destroying things in the raid itself that are causing them to gather.

    Trying to keep the scope creep… if not contained, then sliced off into phases. Paying rent will start to become an issue if I don’t get a v1 out the door on time 😔


  • Ah, yeah a lot of my past projects went that way. Just spent 2 months getting a ping pong shader system to work so you can have map level fog of war with a vision cone. Easy for a computer shader but mobile doesn’t have good support apparently.

    Road system is an achievement though, might be able to spin just that and a little more into a little game, like mini metro etc?

    Some days I’m amazed how much I can get done but it’s cancelled out by things that I thought would be quick and take weeks!
