News Sim strategy

Hello Elpidoforos_Gkikas,
In my opinion your system with reporters and their levels is good and easy to understand. And for the work time, I assume you should stick with the shifts and not the 24 hours mode.

Hello nEz yes I believe shifts will be more easier for user to understand … Thanks a lot for say your opinion.

Hello I done an idea to change the starting buildings that gives to user, by have to buy them, I done for start for see how is to not have the tv station and to have to buy it with 50000$ for example. Sth I think will make the player to try gain this money. Same I want to do for the building of internet.

Hello dear defolders I make the logo screen, mainmenu and campaign screen where you choose through photo for profile and where you choose campaign from 80s to 90s, or 2000s and 2010s (I want to be more on real events and more historical) or if you want to play sandbox. The player choose his name and profile for the owner and manager of newspaper. I don’t know if I put stats he to choose too. I have still as idea. I put down photos for you to see them.

I manage now after 1 hour and half read at forum because I was doing wrong to have keyboard input and to can write the name of newspaper and the name of player at screen of campaign. Now must learn how save such values and keep them for the game and also keep them after game close as saved file. I have used module for change and keep values when running but never done a save file before. But I m not worry I m sure I will find answers at forum. Thanks I put a photo you to see

Hello dear defolders I pass from campaign menu the values in level of 80s campaign. If you see in photo has a change with sign which says the value you write as your newspaper. After does not change but maybe can give this possibility to player. I want to do it also as saved file. But I am on learning process as this is my first real project and now I try learn things so development goes a bit slow.

I put photos for you to see

Hello dear defolders with help of forum and by asking also britzl I manage to do a first save of game and load. Actually one save that keeps only the saves (names) and one the save of game. Right now the player saves as: save 1 , save 2 … save 5 but I want to change it he to write the name and maybe put also time and date of save to seem.

Hello dear defolders, can you please tell me if this simple way of writing the save, like save 1 or save 2 is very simple and not nice, and would be better make a way user to write and gives info of time and date? Because even simple save 1 I kinda like and game will be 5 saves not more need I think. One other matter I have to solve is with render camera which in smaller windows of 1920x 1080 makes problems to game. With render width and render height fix a bit but still don’t know how make render better in window mode. Thanks I hope you reply to me with ideas. Thanks again

I don’t think you need to let the player name the saves if the save names give enough info about the game. Time and date is good, but perhaps also some additional info about the game so that the player knows which game the save is for.

Ok thanks britzl you are very helpful I think all in this forum can agree about that. Thanks

Hello dear defolders, after also britzl proposition about the save, I put the player who is owner and manager of the newspaper, and the save takes the name that player gives at campaign menu at profile, also stores the date and time so the save game looks like the photo down.

thanks. I hope you put more comments and thoughts. I want now to make more the logic in turns of a week writing the events in newspaper and publish the first newspaper.
Thanks for hearing me

Hello dear defolders, after much search because at start could not understand what happen I manage to put the gooey scroll like I wanted for a test of saw the employees. I thought sth I was doing bad at script and didnt saw. After I saw sth happening with layers. After much search I found that clipping of stencil does not work with the many layers like I had in menu of personnel, where put down in other layers the rest of menu and brings up which you press. When I had clipping I didnot saw anything. So I done a second gui with the scroll where had clip stencil which I put render order 1 and I put to show with msg.post when press personnel at other gui which I put render order 0 . So after 3 days I manage to see the result I wanted. I put you a photo to see :smile:

menu personnel of manager

I hope you have some comments for me. Thanks for hearing me. Be well all
