CB 100mph 2 seats/ 4 seats/ 6 seats

Let's try the Tutorial

In this tutorial, there is no freedom.

It force you what to do. However, it forces in a positive way.

It teaches you how to start the game step by step.

Let's see what it's like.

first, this tutorial didn't give us an opportunity to choose which planet. The ship landed and 7 people, two robots landed on the planet.
At the beginning, it works on how to change the angle of the visual.

To pan the camera, use WASD key or place the mouse at the edge of the screen.

To rotate the camera, use the QE key　or drag the middle mouse button.

This part talks about the structure of colony ship that it only has limited supplies so need to think what to make.

As this pop up box, it comes out each topic. It gives you information of each things.

After you click “ok” in the box, at the left top, there will be a yellow arrow which directs you what you should do. As I said, there is no freedom, therefore you will need to click on to the things what they want you to click. I thought it is really kind that as you see the yellow circle in the middle, it says “place structure: Oxygen Generator – Pending” It always comes up if you did it are not.

After clicking the yellow circle on the previous picture, now you can choose which structure you want to place ( but here, you need to listen to the directions…)

Now, the structure you want to place will come out. So, since it is a tutorial, it already assigned where to place. Drag it in to the place. In the white circle, it says “use mouse wheel or RF keys" to change the size” I’m assuming that this will be an important tips to play this game.

You can speed the game by clicking the button in the white circle or press + key to do so. You can speed up until ×4

And an important fact, you will need to connect the facilities if you need to. For example, where people will be walking will need oxygen so you will need to connect to the oxygen generator directly or indirectly. In this picture, we will need to connect solar panel and water extractor to produce water by using the energy collected by solar panel. To connect them, just click both facilities one by one and there will be a mark like the one on the left

so click it and it will be connected.

Now, you will start placing objects in the dorm. To do that, first click the dorm which you will place objects in .

Then the dorm will be surrounded by a line. On the top left there will be a place to click.

Then you can choose the objects to place. If you cannot place, the object will become red. If you want to speed the game remember you can by pressing + key.

Sometimes, you will want to know what is going on inside the dorm. To see inside press tab key or menu button.

Tadaaaa the top disappeared. To put it back, do the same thing.

In this tutorial, you will be recycling the colony ship. If you click on the ship, there will be a button to recycle it.

If you recycle the ship, all the stuff will be out which is not safe. So, first we will build a Mine to store them.

After this, you will be building bio- dorm, factory, medical dorm and at last a port for another ships to land.

After completing these it is done for the tutorial.

Time to move on to your own colony.

Friday Post April 1 (late posting)

Tips

-when I want to move the motion tweet in the frame to other frame, click the motion tweet which I want to move and hold Ctrl and move it

-it is also possible to drag and copy it to other frame

What I learned

- each button needs a code

- i can make three kinds of group of actions in one layer

- however, i need to create buttons on different layers ( three button layers)

-don't forget to name the "instant name" for each buttons because they are needed to make codes for the action

-make sure to start from the same the same layer

-even though the first action is only until frame 125, it is needed to match up with all the others, which applies to other buttons too

GJ - Day 1 - Reveal

Planetbase

In the game "Planetbase" you will establish many different kinds of facility and connect facilities together.

For the colonists and to run the base, you will need to secure resources such as oxygen, food and water. You will install solar panels and collect electric power, plant vegetables in Bio-Dome, and collect air from oxygen generator. Doing those, you will expand the base and eventually build a colony which many colonists live in.

In this game, the management of distributions and colonists will be the key. There are AI robots called "Carried Bot" which will carry the materials. To make a distribution for them, you will need to think the best place to establish the facilities and to make the path. Produce materials, AI robots, space suits and so on and manage to have them be passed to the colonists.

There are 4 kinds of colonists ; workers which are good at mining and moving machines, engineers which are good at building and repairing buildings, biologists who works on planting foods and medic who maintain the health of colony. It will be important how to work them will. However, it will impossible to operate the colonists individually, they move automatically according to the facilities which are build.

In this game, you will need to survives disasters such as meteors, sandstorms or solar flares. Moreover, there are three kinds of planets, desert planets, frozen planets, gas glant moon. The goal for this game is to go over the challenges on each planets and establish a colony in a new planet.
