Fork in the Road

James Sager Articles

Yogi Berra has a quote,”When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It” This means not to ho hum over a decision you might have to change direction for now or for a while. In this case, it is a two day direction redirect. My aunt came down with Lymph Node cancer and still is stoic and walking, but she is the reason why I made Battlemon, So I want her to play it in parks before she can’t walk anymore. I only have about 1-2 day of dev and we can be making park adventures.

Battlemon was made to help a Make a Wish Kid be able to say he made video games. He’s my cuz and he manages with what he got cuz he’s awesome. Quite literally cooler than me or Lar. David is awesome and kicks butt. So it will be nice to play in the park with him too!

This has to be done, and won’t take much dev time out of Starfighter. I’m still trying to restore a proper project so…. I’m actually not losing much dev time at all, bouncing between both computers devving a MMORPG and a Pokemon Go competitor at the same time.

Tomorrow’s Update: Monty Hall Daily Rewards

James Sager Articles

Hello, today, had a rough patch of experimental packages in Unity not being cool.

Tomorrow I’ll try and launch a super cool Monty Hall aka Lets Make a Deal type game when you log on for your daily. It will have randomized elements and you’ll get glimpses into the MMORPG and items you may not easily be able to obtain in the MMORPG right now… So when the MMO launches soon, you’ll be stronger than the rest. Play now, power up, invest. Its a reward for those who have faith and played the game longer… Much like those who play MMOs are stronger. Play now, be ready to be a Boss in the MMO.

Every 7 days get a cool reward too!

Influence from Agent USA: Fuzzbomb

James Sager Articles

Fun Stuff: Games like World of Warcraft shunned the idea of disease plaguing the empire in towns and from one person to another. However, we think that could be fun in some situations. We’ll be doing things like Agent USA: Fuzzbomb where you’re racing against a galactic electronic virus in ships. For those who never played Agent USA, it is an Engima that is fun, different and straight up… fun in its own regards. Play on DOS, but I liked the C64 version better: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Agent_USA_1984

Game Dev Log: We have 11 hours til Single Player MOBA comes out, so maybe tonight 2 am or so release.

Then we have about 40 hours til Multiplayer Moba comes out, which is the VERY CORE of the MMORPG engine.

Play test that for 20 hours and bingo bango, earliest MMO could be launched is early March

Music patch out

James Sager Articles

Sorry bros and gals about the patch delay. I got tripped up on a Unity issue of loading on the fly that they fixed but they didn’t have standardized. I’m a huge nerd who likes his small pieces or wire and software architect over product pushing.

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”: A quote by Abraham Lincoln

I dork way too much over software architecting. Instead of my small pieces of wire, I should send you the spaceships. So here’s a patch.

We have like 80 new MIDI music files like Super Nintendo and Nes awesomeness!

When you fight tougher bases, harder music is played. Ambiance, and victory music.

I do not have the slider for volume yet, but that will be sometime, let me know if it is a priority for you.

Next patch should be finished MOBA, but who knows.
Last patch had an issue with loading which led to this issue, now this issue is done!

The game is 2 gig larger… Expect this game to get UBER huge as we become a super gigundous game… I want you to invest 30 years playing this game and be stoooooked! So if it takes 8 TB and 100$ hard drive, people will be like,”Jim, you’re a genius!” For now its small…

Moba soon, MMORPG soon after.

I’m working research in a science company. Managing the house, the health and praying to God.

Lets get Starfighter General MMORPG out soon, but you’ll enjoy this patch if you like good classical SNES/NES MIDI music!

,Jim

One Empire’s Trash is a Picker’s Treasure.

James Sager Articles

Everything in Starfighter General is crafted by Player or NPC. Sometimes by hand, sometimes with tool desk, sometimes with tool station or tooling ship and sometimes the product to product process makes waste. A lot of time this waste is valuable, but takes up space and you don’t want to deal it. So ships can expel it. For small ships, a small amount of barely valuable waste is dropped. But very large, very powerful capital ships are spewing large amounts of barely valuable waste, so trash pickers follow em and clean space and make a couple bucks.

The ships following these big capital ships have to be of favorable faction obviously or neutral… But it does bring a weird mix of bedfellows since some of the people who want capital ship waste are not favorable to each other… Its a chain reaction… People want good standing with the big guys, and maybe standing with others, and the economy flows. Get in bad standing, well, hope you’re good at skirmishing.

Queen DarBelle

James Sager Articles

Queen DarBelle of planet Kryshaun was treated as a princess all her life, after all she was… Then when she was queen, she thought she deserved more, after all, she’s the queen now. Despite being beautiful to look at, no prince wants to be her king. She just wants too much glitz, glam and bedazzling jewels. She has a shoe collection that has its own palace. She spends so much of her country’s money on luxuries, and cares not about the administrative necessities of keeping her planet in check. So there are great crime rings, and people getting by on meager amounts. There would be revolts, but the criminal syndicates know how luxurious they can work this planet… And so the criminal syndicates themselves run a sort of secret police protection for DarBelle quelling revolts. And if they can con her into thinking some piece of bling they found is the next big thing… Well they can can get a queen’s ransom by selling it right to her. Vanity over Sanity: Queen Darbelle of Kryshuan.

I now have turret AI that leads the targets

James Sager Articles

Somehow I got DOTS/ECS Unity to extrapolate via quaternions how to aim ahead at your ship where it will be if the player isn’t actively dodging…. Like old xwing vs tiefighter.

James Sager Articles

Patch out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/658480/Starfighter_General/

From now on, patches will have some music updates too. I was able to secure 1200 music tracks and I’m organizing em as I code.

24 hours til Singleplayer Moba

James Sager Articles

Yes, that’s right, Singleplayer Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. (words, sense, make, please).

Singleplayer MOBA conditional on me finishing it.

Once the singleplayer MOBA out then Multiplayer MOBA out.

Them MMORPG.

Then no more techs, and updates happen at an accelerated rate and things rule!

Are you Ready? I am, but I need to code.

Pray for me. Love is the way.

The Cancel Cultists do not exist

James Sager Articles

You’ve heard stories the Cancel Cult exists. They are all lies. They do not censor people who talk about them. They do not silence them in other ways. Besides who told you these stories that the Cancel Cultists exist? We want to know where you got your information, because it is fake news, and we’ll find a way to teach them a lesson how to know facts. Everyone should be in line here, cuz you don’t want to worry about the Cancel Cult or what they’re up to, because that’s crazy to even talk about.

->The Cancel Cult does exist, in the fantasy universe of Starfighter General.

Will you choose to be a hero, villian, or just a mercenary out for pay who doesn’t take sides?
