October 2022 (Week 3)

+ Flow map work continues
+ Slower units, like infantry, are now moved to the rear of the unit formations
+ Fixed speed and acceleration system so that vehicles don't overshoot their path nodes
+ Unit repulsion and interpenetration further tweaked, even when two large groups of units go through a tight space in opposite directions, none get stuck and all reach their destinations
- The trade-off is that it looks bad and there's heavy unit interpenetration when this happens. Also a vulnerability since they can more easily be destroyed in the bottleneck.
+ Faction tags added to prep for future faction split
+ New Vehicle Depot model to replace the old one (see vid)
+ Large shake-up of the focus of the game and tech tree. Vehicles are being split into three types, fixed-wing aircraft and boats will be removed for now.
+ YouTube channel soundtrack playlist is here: youtube.com/watch?v=P_pcpkLOldI&list=PLiGizc0ysx7h4_E094ete7877eo8PSN1w
+ Version 0.07 released and is available here: balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
- For those that would like to use the AGDG recap, its here: recap.agdg.io
