Welcome to the WebHexPlanet wiki!


This wiki serves the main stop for information on development of the game. All brain storming and discussions take place on /r/Metasim , and anything that moves past the idea and brain storming phase will go here. The goal here is to create a good place for new people to start developing, and for the team to stay focused and keep the fountain of ideas, organized.

Phase Plan

  • These are the Phases and Items that we are working on. Phase Plan sounds better then "Project Plan" Game Concept
  • The entire concept that we have for this game. What is does, how it plays, etc. This is based off the the original post by ion-tom, that outlines his ideas for Ideas for the Ultimate Strategy Game. We have broken that post down into is pieces and they are here for your enjoyment!

Technical Implementation

  • This is a Web Based Game (at least initially), This page breaks down each area and component and explains how it works! We outline the libraries, technologies, and other technical details about the game.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Metasim is a very vast range of modes and rules to be thought about and every action you make has consequences in the game world.This section will give you the basics of how to play and succeed at playing metasim. There are several main stages to the game each stage is gone into more detail [Here] (https://github.com/rSimulate/WebHexPlanet/wiki/Stages). Each stage outlines the behavior of the natives of the planet you are observing/interacting with.In the earlier stages the actions of the natives cannot be seen from teh space view. To view and interact with natives in these stages you need to zoom in to the surface view.In the later stages almost all gameplay occurs in the space view so it shouldnt be any issue to play from it.

The native populations are randomly generated creatures with randomly generated needs and appearance.Every native needs food however and how they get that food usually shows which stage they are in. Each native has a set of skill, that are listed [here] (https://github.com/rSimulate/WebHexPlanet/wiki/agents%20skills). Each skill decides how good they are at some action and how likely they are to develop a new technology in their lifetimes. (INCOMPLETE)
