Been a while since I updated the progress thread. Mostly because I'm working on redesigns of existing features and implementing some new ones that are not finished. I hate reporting on unfinished stuff...
So what have I been working on?
First off I implemented a new menu on the World Map named "Districts." This feature is going to allow you to select and manage multiple factories and branches at the same time.
In the District Menu you have two drop down boxes. One with Premade districts filled with countries and continents. The other drop down will have your custom made districts.
Currently only the Premade districts are finished.
Selecting a district from either of the two drop downs selects all of the cities inside the district. A District Information window is then presented with an average of all the information you find in the Cities Information window. You're also given additional information such as a list of your branches and factories inside the District.
Which leads me to managing your factories and branches inside the district.
Since I plan on doing major overhauls to many of the systems on the World Map, I have stopped at this point and switched to redesigning some of the mechanics and GUI for Factories, Branches, and Marketing.
I have completed a redesign of the View Factory Details panel and have made this the default panel when opening the factory window. I've also done some minor changes to the scrapping system. Next I will work down the list of Factory window options, Once I finish the redesign of the Factory Mechanics and GUI, I will then Implement the new systems into the the District system and move on to Branches.
I also knocked out a couple of bugs
-Fixed Engine size limit bug in racing.
-Adjusted cost declines to yearly instead of quarterly.
Anyhoo so far I find the district system pretty cool. Hopefully the changes I have in mind will roll over into this system well. It should really improve long term, large company, game play.
