Reddit reviews Emergence in Games (Charles River Media Game Development)

Divided Kingdoms

I've been very busy at work, so development time was limited this week:

• Added health bars above NPCs with their level
  
  
• Containers are now working; it is possible to add and remove items.
  
  
• More work on the item generation algorithm; items now have levels, prefixes and suffixes with stat modifiers working. I still have a ton of work ahead as I only have a few modifiers in my data files and they don't really make sense yet.
  
  
• Inventory list view now only displays categories that have at least one item
  
  
• Fixed blood particle animations after migrating to party system
  
  After reading a book on AI (Behavioral Mathematics for Game AI) and a book on emergence (Emergence in Games), I started reading Game Design Workshop; it's a great book so far. I want to read Designing Virtual Worlds next.
  
  See you next week!
