The Dead Universe - Design

I wanted to give glimpse of the game The Dead Universe gameplay and design thoughts of the game as what I am currently working on

When I first conceptualized the Dying Universe I thought it as a Single Plane being Stretched for eternity, and in that Universe every nook and corner is filled with Empires and there is some friction between them always, so how will it be a 4X Game when the whole Universe is already explored or exploited?
the simple answer is the new Universe is in altogether different Plane.

It is in a new Map/Plane of the new Universe where the Empires have some sort of Outpost or the colony except few races or Empires which start in Red Dwarf 

so here's the Excel extract of how the Map will be.

Old Universe New Universe Red Dwarf
Not Explorable(Your Ships might never Reach Destinations) Explorable Explorable it's sandwiched between these two spaces
Cannot Colonize Planet Colonizable provides colonization speed boost if the space and time in both Universe is entaglable Can be Colonized but not all red dwarfs have habitable Planets
Time and Space rip already started its effects so it is already Dead The New Universe will never die because of its constants The Red Dwarf will have Such a big life span that it is assume to live till eternity
So in simple when you Understand about Multiverse in the Game you should understand like a book being folded and Red dwarf are in the book margin and the dots on the plane are starting positions of the new empires in the game.....
see the image below for better Idea
Exciting isn't it?...Stay Tuned for more Updates on Game Design and Technical details of The Game Dead Universe

Traits Design - Inspirations and Design The Dead Universe

Ok Let me begin with the the inspirations for Traits and Tech Traits I really like the Stellaris Ethos it has the following. these Ethics are ingrained in how you want to play the game and it's really awesome The  authoritarian - egalitarian  dichotomy looks at the worth of an individual.  The  xenophobe - xenophile  dichotomy looks at the acceptance of foreign species. The  militarist - pacifist  dichotomy looks at the merit of War. The  materialist - spiritualist  dichotomy looks at the nature of being and reality in general. for more you can see in Ethos  of Stellaris which is pretty awesome as to how the Game of Stellaris is thought out. So the above Ethics based Empire Traits might not be applicable to the Dead Universe but it's dual theory of either A or B appealed to me very much So when I created the 3 Traits based on them Traits for the Empire's I thought it them in the following The Objective - Relative dichoto...

Introduction to DirectX and Creating the Main Game Loop using DirectX11

Image
So when I first began developing a game I found DirectX easier compared to OpenGL be it online tutorials or Support that I got online mostly from Microsoft so what is DirectX then ? Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. The name DirectX was coined as a shorthand term for all of these APIs (the X standing in for the particular API names) and soon became the name of the collection. When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology. The X initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), whil...

C++ and HTML as UI?

Ever Since I saw the post Raman Sharma: Building Metro Style Apps with C++ and JavaScript  I wanted to create one such Hybrid app, after seeing the disaster the Win32 Resources look with it's pixelated resource file and Headache of a UI maintanence, I wondered if such an hybrid app could resolve some of those issues? The blog actually mentioned many motivations as to why we want to have such an hybrid app and the following stood out the strengths JavaScript Web Dynamic and Responsive UI C++ CPU/ GPU access and usage Image/Audio/Video Processing Compression/Encryption Prasers useful in Statics/Finance He also mentioned about the advantages of such Hybrid Apps but for me the following stood out Code Reusability Reuse of Complex and powerful C++ Native code and make a Dynamic HTML UI Creating one such interoperability between the HTML and Javascript can be explained by following figure we need to create a C++ WinRT Layer for an existing C++ code  ...
