SkyOfSteel is a work in progress game built on the Godot game engine with C# and Mono. Currently builds with Godot 3.0.6
Contributions are welcome!
- A functioning installation of Godot Mono 3.0.6 with proper Mono version
- Currently Mono 5.12 for Godot 3.0.6. (Godot 3.1 should allow for most any mono version)
- Clone the git repo (or download as zip and extract)
- Open the Godot editor to the project and let it reimport all the assets then close it
- Open the editor again and hit "Play" near the upper right corner (play icon)
- The editor will proceed to build and launch the project
Currently not much :(
The intended gameplay is intended to be a mix of Factorio, SkyBlock, and Unturned in a multiplayer private server setting. This section will expand as more gameplay items are implemented. This should not take long as most of the ground work has already been laid.
SkyOfSteel has an innovative (and wip) modding API with full ECMAScript 5 support through the wonderful Jurassic project. With both server and client side mod scripting much can be accomplished. Servers can run gamemode scripts and send client side scripts to connecting clients similar to a webpage's scripts. In addition there is a full REPL ingame console.
The modding API is based around game events. Whenever something occurs ingame it is processed as an "event" which can be filtered, modified, or discarded by mod scripts. This allows for a great deal of flexibility even without the normal API for such things as setting player positions and the like.
All player input is routed through the binding system which depending on the input will call
a console command passing in a double ranging between 0 and 1 (up to infinity in some cases
such as mouse movement). Key input pass in a 1 for keydown and a 0 for keyup while analog
inputs such as mouse motion pass in a 0 for no movement on the specified axis and a number
greater than 0 for motion on that axis (the number is the amount of motion).
Note: This is not restricted to built in movement and player control console commands. Any function declared in the console REPL can be bound to any key or input.
SkyOfSteel is built up of a number of singleton "libraries". Each one of these libraries deals with a portion of the game's actions and has a number of public static methods in order to be called from other libraries and classes.
Beyond these "libraries" the project directory is split up into pretty self explanatory folders
which are almost like "modules" in that they (under most conditions) contain everything related
to the folder name (ex: the UI folder has alls GUI scenes, script, and textures). Note that
these folders are not self contained but instead all source files are pretty much entwined though
the folder names are a good indication of where to look when trying to find the implementation
of a specific feature.
This is an ambitious project with much work left to do and you can help!
Feel free to contribute in the following ways:
- Test and report bugs
- Much work has already been done and there are doubtless many bugs which remain undiscovered
- Test and report bugs to the Jurassic project
- While not affiliated with the Jurassic project, SkyOfSteel relies heavily on the continuing success of this wonderful ECMAScript 5 library
- Fix reported bugs by getting down and dirty with the source code :)
- Much work is left to be done and if you feel up to it you can help!
- Contribute art and sound skills
- The term Programmer Art describes the temporary art and sound assets created hastily by those untalented in those fields in order to continue the development of a game. If you are talented in with modeling, texturing, or sound design please do contribute!
- Suggest new features
- Are you an ideas man? You can still help!
- Spread information about SkyOfSteel
- All projects need good PR :)
