My incremental resource manager, Farm and Mine, is now live on Poki! The web version was built with Phaser, and the sources were converted from AIR using my own AS32JS converter tool. It is also available for Android, iOS, Windows and Linux here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airapport.farm.mine.idle.ludumdare48 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/farm-and-mine-idle-tycoon/id1564694016 https://airapport.itch.io/farm-and-mine Here is what to expect in Farm and Mine: Over 60 facilities which produce resources, convert them, sell, or provide new game aspects; Integrated autoclicker: just click on the facility which you want to boost and the autoclicker will do the job for you; Unlimited offline time: having made sure you automated the production chains, you can leave your farm to return later and see how much did your citizens produce; Interlocked resource branches: agriculture, industry and population, each one depends and empowers the other; Elaborate prestige system which allows you to select which aspect of the game boost the most (and you can change your mind and try a different strategy on the next run); Human-drawn buildings and characters who work everywhere in your growing city; Feel free to use these ones to activate the timed bonuses which will speed up your progression: EUZUMQO: Time speed x10 (2:00) EPHP7UI: Clicks x10 (1:00) EO6MWON: Transport x2 (12hour 0m) The current game rating on various platforms is around 4.4 - 4.8 after thousands of reviews, so we hope you will enjoy the idle farming and resource mining, too. Have fun!

Hello, Hi everyone, I'm developing a new hospital manager game; at the moment the main engine has been implemented and numerous other functions are being developed. For now, the developed language is Italian, but internationalization is planned. The game site is univerhosp.variousdom.it I need to find some beta testers to verify the functioning and the response times; I also created a forum with explanations. In the forum everyone can insert ideas, doubts and any information that may be useful for development. The forum is accessible from the game menu.

Ben is employed in a Sheep Farm. His job is to run the farm without any hitches. Every day he must take care of the sheep and the associated units of farm. Ben must also go to the market to buy items for the farm and sell the products from the farm. Ben needs help from the players to run the farm. Feeding the sheep, shearing the sheep, buy new sheep, sell old sheep, restock the sheep feed, grass & medicines are the some of the activities involved in taking care of the sheep. The farm has got a wool cleaning unit, a yarning unit and a dyeing Unit Play HTML5 version: http://onlineindiangames.com/sheep-farm/ Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csharks.sheepfarm Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvEn59rIceI

First and foremost Guild Tycoon is a game where a player controls a set of characters, provides them with equipment, and sends them off to fight in dungeons awaiting their hopefully successful return with wonderful loot. Players over decades have seen this type of system in many different iterations from Diablo, to World of Warcraft, to, well…, Guild Tycoon! Personally, I adore games like Diablo and World of Warcraft where players can fight through battles and improve their characters to access forever expanding content within the game. However, I found that I grew somewhat wearisome of the required investment of active time to progress. My thought, and basis for the game, is that players can get similar levels of enjoyment out of an experience that automates some of the tasks that would otherwise need to be controlled directly. I wanted to build a game where players set actions for their characters, game administrators set actions for enemies in dungeons, and a server runs a fight based on a set of rules and returns the result. It's not much to look at yet, but it's taken quite a bit of work to get to this point! I have since scrapped that original GUI, which was built on DotVVM, for the not-as-popular-as-the-original version of Angular. The server is built using ASP.NET Core, and the information is stored in a Microsoft SQL database. Everything is hosted in Azure. DotVVM, Angular, and ASP.NET Core are all types of frameworks. I think it's best to conceptualize frameworks as toolboxes. They contain everything you need in order to build a specific type of software. As an electrician needs a different set of tools than a painter, developers need different frameworks specialized for certain purposes. This analogy breaks down a bit as you dive into the specifics since frameworks are usually designed to be fairly malleable. I started with DotVVM because it is a framework built on .NET. It’s specialty is building GUIs. It uses coding languages I was already familiar with, C#. Since I had never built a GUI before, using a familiar language was a comforting idea. However, I quickly found out that when I ran into issues, I couldn’t figure out how to resolve them. Most of the popular online outlets for help in the software world also had almost nothing on DotVVM. After hours and hours of frustration, I decided I should just bite the bullet and learn a completely new language and a completely new framework that was better supported, had a larger community and was vetted by larger entities that already use the framework for their products. This would be more work upfront, but down the road would eventually pay off. Before jumping over to Angular, I decided to give another framework a shot. I had heard some good things about Aurelia, and (unless I’m mistaken) it is headed by someone who left the team that created Angular. I was able to stand up the basic example quickly, but as soon as I wanted to add my own authentication system I ran into issues. I looked through the documentation and spent hours online troubleshooting my issue, but I couldn’t resolve it. This left me to consider two remaining options, React and Angular. I looked at both, but to be perfectly honest, I decided to try Angular because the “Getting Started” tutorial was pretty much my game. Fortunately, I did not have to go through as much struggle in order to decide on the right framework for the server. My dayjob already uses .NET MVC for our backend, so I knew I could stick with that. The difference is that I decided to upgrade to .NET Core, mainly because it is far simpler to implement a custom authentication system. SQL databases have been around for decades, and I didn’t necessarily want to spend more time learning yet another system for saving information unless there was a compelling need, so I stuck with the traditional approach. To communicate between .NET Core server and the SQL server I did decide to select Dapper, which is a tool that is gaining popularity over Entity Framework. The difference between Entity Framework and Dapper is that Entity Framework is designed to try to encompass all possible needs for interacting with a SQL server into a single package whereas Dapper takes the approach that each development team should build their interaction with SQL to exactly suit their needs. It's also completely open source: Front end , back end

Hi I was wondering if I should explicitly destroy all the tweens that I create? I am moving objects on screen every few seconds with one time tweens like so: this.state.add.tween(child).to({ y: prevY + this.blockHeight }, 300, Phaser.Easing.Quadratic.In, true)is it destroyed automatically after the tween is completed or should I destroy it? thanks Lior
