Global Game Jam @ 2019 January 25 - 27 with Friends


A 3 day 2 night game development event, Global game jam and held at KDU Glenmarie. With a team of 3 people, we haven't done our game until the end but we learned much on the development. Such as modeling, coding, designing, editing using software like photoshop, magicavoxel, unity. Due to inexperienced we doesn't allocate work properly and lastly only done modeling & some mechanic part like health, damage, team check. But still many mechanic haven't done like taming, spawning and more. Sadly doesn't meet our expectation but really enjoy when developing in this event, KDU's student also very friendly to we. Thanks for the all participate for sharing in this event.

Event & Game Information

This global game jam event title is about "What is home means to you". So we have come with idea bring characters ( player ) back to home, or with defensive feature also dialog chat. Lastly we decide with Realtime-Strategy Defensive Game ( RTS Defensive ) about a stone age human want to defend his forest and fighting with the one who coming for chop down tree ( enemy ). In this, we would like to implements timeline feature about changing era from stone age until future age ( mobs will keep upgrading and become stronger & also enemy is human will become high-tech mobs ).


What it will be at start, will like this 2 human is incoming for attacking your home and player controlling mobs to attack the human. The house beside the tree is about mating system when have 2 mobs has going for mating will produce a small new mobs ( age system ).


Sometime besides of human incoming attacking, they will stop for a time and when that time you can go for outside for taming mobs. They are neutral mobs, they will attack player's mobs & enemy's mobs.

Different mobs have different skill & attributes so this is the way we extends more strategy on defending and the goal is defend as long as you can. The mobs also have their own AI about pathfinder goal.

Software


MagicaVoxel is a free to use modeling program. As you have seen all of the our models is look like cube, it's created by MagicaVoxel. In their official website also have many wonderful art, you may go for a look.

What we have planned is if we are free enough, we would like to continue development & target on mobile phone as who is interested can come to pm me hope we work together well. Thanks for your time.

Local Development | LAN [ Local Area Network ]

Before an application, website, backend server, frontend app or any application required to integrate with another platform, how you work with your friends? Put all in one computer for testing?  Upload to a free hosting for testing like Heroku ? If your team able to work in same place, i would suggest hosted own local network for testing at least faster then using other free platform like Heroku. As of improvement of technology, nowadays network interface card ( NIC ) would have a feature about HostedNetwork. You can host your local area network ( LAN ) for your friends and they can access your works and testing at their own computer and fix would faster the development. In Windows You can use command prompt and type "netsh wlan show drivers" and check is "Hosted network supported : ". If supported you can create your local area network by using command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode= allow ssid= YourAP key= YourPW ". YourAP  = Acc...

Backend Developer & Development [ Part 1 ]

Backend developer is a develop who maintain the work users /  clients can't see such as processing transaction, data structure, data transfer. These works would contains in a API server and API server contains many endpoint that can call by anyone but only success when fulfill endpoint requirements so it is secured. API Server also know as REST API ( Representational State Transfer ). It's processing like client request to server & after server process return response to client. API Server is develop by backend developer and this api server can be many type and different language, different framework such as Ruby on Rails ( RoR ) using Ruby Python PHP ( Laravel & Yii2 ) Java ( Spring ) C# ( ASP.NET & NancyFX ) Node.JS ( ExpressJS, SailsJS, HapiJS, NestJS, FeatherJS ) Different framework have their own advantages and can be used on different projects based on their features and usage. In the development not only choosing frameworks also need to ch...

Async / Await vs Promises

## Node.JS In node.js, asynchronous operation able to done by two ways. They are async/await codeblock or promises. What different between them? ### Promises In promises, some of them call it `callback hell` because of the syntax keep repeating callback like and until the end of the async operation. Here come with an example. ```js samplePromise: () => { var promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => { try { // async codeblock resolve(result); } catch (e) { reject(e); } }); promise.then( (result) => { // result is returning and async operation run complete. }, (rejected) => { // rejected something wrong when running async operation } ).catch( (error) => { // unhandled error occurs when running async opeartion } ); } ``` With this example, you able see that promise code block is quite long when running an async operation, try to think what if more complex async operation required to run, like you need to get data fr...
