[Minigame] GoPlanets

I did some changes to the artwork and well I'd like to hear whether you like it or not  . I think it looks quite clean (and non-Galcon like) but I'm a bit worried that I is too colorful.

EDIT:
old pics: [1] [2]

Did some changes as suggested by K-Bal. Planets now also have a subtle glow.

Maybe you shouldn't use such intense red/green/blue contrasts. Take a look at Eufloria for example.

Might want to implement a zoom feature and camera scrolling since the solar system maps are too far out to see the numbers.  Also you could add a group selection feature like dragging the mouse to draw a box and select several planets at once.


Just a few things that might help.  Nice game though. :p

Thanks. Camera zooming an scrolling is actually present since the first release (scrolling: WASD/arrow keys, zooming: mouse wheel).

Anyway I just uploaded the final build.

Changelog v1.98 -> 2.0

• New artwork
• Added a new widget showing the strength of each player
• The winner-check-routine now takes into account the amount of ships owned by each player
• AI tweaks
• Removed the real solar systems mode
• Double clicking enemy planets will result in a global attack order
• Fixed ships getting stuck (hopefully)
• Fixed ships disappearing randomly (caused by too big rotation values)

Played it a little: really nice game :-)
I like how we can order several planets in the same time by just hovering them with the cursor. Tried it with 4 AIs with a lot of planets and I was completely destroyed in a few minutes, so I think I have to progress.

I imagine a lot of people already told you this, but multiplayer in this kind of game would make it really nice :-) But that also seems really tricky to do right...

I actually think it would be somewhat easy to do, compared to other games. Just keep a central game lobby server and have it calculate how many ships each planet has and where they're sending them. It would be pretty awesome too.

Good job with this. It was really fun and the music blended nicely

Hi.

I have discovered a bug (it repeated many times).
I have built Golang v 1.4, SFML 2.2, CSFML, Goplanets, everything is up to date.
It occurs when I change the resolution in the settings menu, and restart the game.

Here's the execution log:
