• GD Update

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Fri Sep 8 10:39:42 2017
    Hi guys,

    I've just pushed an update that adds a basic banking feature, and reworks command ship components.

    The bank uses fixed interest which is calculated each day, we can make it more complex later with fluctuating interest and what not but I'd like to take small
    steps and make sure things are working first.

    Command ship components now cost more depending how many you have, my plan is once you built this ship you win the game. However, I need to make sure it's really expensive and hard to do, so the current values are tests.

    I will implement more features you have asked for, just want to take small steps :)

    If possible, perhaps BP or Gary could host a test version that's not interbbs which we could test out the game play? I would host it myself but I think you guys get a bit more traffic than me :)

    The latest version is on build.magickabbs.com or just checkout the latest from git hub.

    Thanks again for all your feedback,

    Andrew

    We're not gonna get rich on those interest rates... ;)

    I really is more expensive. I like that idea though.

    This might have been mentioned before, but maybe the command ship could increase both offensive and defensive for the player, depending on the percentage completed...

    No problem. You've got a great game. I'm enjoying it. ;)

    but I think you guys get a bit more traffic than me :)

    I've got it up and running here. It's on the Main Menu, along with the IBBS version.

    I'm not sure I really get much traffic, other than you. ;) I do have a user that will probably join the game as well. He's on here on a fairly regular basis.

    Thanks again for all your feedback,

    Be careful what you ask for. I might end up giving you another list of
    ideas... ;)

    Haha, nope but you won't lose credits in the bank if you get attacked.

    This might have been mentioned before, but maybe the command ship could increase both offensive and defensive for the player, depending on the percentage completed...

    That's not a bad idea. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before or not,
    but between Magicka and GD I've had tonnes of suggestions, I'm not
    suprised if I forget some lol.

    I've got it up and running here. It's on the Main Menu, along with the I BBS
    version.

    Cool thanks a lot, it's probably a good idea that both you and gary are
    running it as you're linux and he's windows. Already found a bug in the
    windows version :)

    I'm not sure I really get much traffic, other than you. ;) I do have a u that will probably join the game as well. He's on here on a fairly regul

    Haha, I do tend to log on a bit don't I? I think it was your BBS or maybe Agency that was right next to the entry for my bbs i was testing, so
    whoever it was got a few more logins than intended due to mis clicks. LOL

    Nah, to be honest, you and Gary probably know the game better than I do
    you've both played it a lot more than me so I think you'll have keen eyes
    where I don't notice things.

    Be careful what you ask for. I might end up giving you another list of ideas... ;)

    Hehe, lets maybe work on this current list for now, but by all means keep
    them in mind :P

    Very true... :)

    It's a good thing when you have suggestions coming in. There are times when
    you can't think of what else to add to a program, but someone else has a
    great idea. :)

    Cool thanks a lot, it's probably a good idea that both you and gary are running it as you're linux and he's windows. Already found a bug in the windows version :)

    I hope it wasn't anything serious... I haven't seen any issues so far, other than a screen format adjustment needed. It's the price for the command ship
    on the menu. I'll grab a screen shot and send it to you tomorrow. (I've
    already used my turns for today...)

    It's not a problem. I'm just glad the 'bot' logins have scrolled off of the last caller list finally...

    Nah, to be honest, you and Gary probably know the game better than I do you've both played it a lot more than me so I think you'll have keen eyes where I don't notice things.

    I'm actually playing it while looking for any issues. I'm trying to be a good tester for you. ;)

    Nothing serious I think, just the Windows version was displaying the
    interest rate at -0.0000% whatever it was. I think it has to do with
    Windows C Library that MinGW uses doesnt support %lld which was the one
    before the interest rate.

    I think I know what you're talking about with the command ship price, i
    did notice that, but forgot about it. I'll fix it in the next version.
