Thought I’d ask again about having a separate Battle Log.
Especially in a turn-based game, there can be a LOT of events (I just got 27 and had 65 the previous turn!) so it’s very easy to skip through those and miss someone sending you tech, a player going AFK/QUIT/declaring War, etc.
I.e. it would be great to have a third tab: Diplomacy, Events, and Battle Log.
So any idea Jay when you’ll be able to get back to NP?
The last update in the “Galactic News” was April 23rd …
Be really nice to have this feature added (Chat has also been often requested) and since you already wrote the code for Blight, maybe not much work to back-port to NP?
Yep, not to much work to do the port. I added it to Blight because I knew how much NP needed it.
I’m rushing rushing rushing to get blight ready to show the general public at Pax Aus in 5 weeks.
Then fingers crossed there is an influx of new players so there will be bugfixes and feedback to respond to, but I should be able to share the love around for both games.
(just a follow up, NP right now pays about 1/5th of a salary so I think it’s only fair that it gets at least one day a week on it. That’s how I think about it anyhow)
wfmcgillicuddy: Yea, the Hulk can get a bit carried away with his SMASHING!
We’re actually in the last stage of this 32-user game … thought for sure I was going to get squashed between a couple of players early on, but one bailed … and then somehow the Big Green Machine just started rolling.
It’s an 8-tick turn based game with lots of stars and here’s the most recent screenshot - 39 events … of which 37 are combat related, 1 is finishing a level of tech, and 1 is an alliance request - a player with a single star wanted to see the carnage, so I was happy to oblige.
At this point, I don’t care too much about those combat events but be nice to see the “other” events in that separate tab. A reminder for Jay that as reported before, events aren’t sorted correctly for multiple-pages … you start at the bottom of the first page & work your way up, then go to the bottom of the second page & work your way up, go to third page, etc.
