DEV BLOG #5 - Custom Unit and Battle
Hi wobblers!
In today's dev log, we’ll talk about 'sandbox' - one of core features of TABS gameplay.
In the original PC sandbox mode, there are no limits on factions and budgets, players can freely choose maps and create their own units, performing farces of melee and chaos.
Accordingly, in the current mobile version, we have implemented Unit Editor and battle customization based on the original PC design, allowing mobile players to customize all kinds of creative units giving free rein to imagination.
In addition to accessing the editor page through the [Custom Content] function in the main menu, mobile players can also check the Configure Battle and Custom Content menu directly by clicking on the setting icon in the upper left corner of the sandbox mode map when placing units.
Battle Customization
In the left menu of Configure Battle, players can freely edit the boundary of the red side and blue side, select the shape between line and circle, and switch the position of the two sides with a simple click:
Compared to the PC version where the the boundary is adjusted by holding the left mouse button and the scroll wheel, in the mobile version, players can drag the boundary with a single finger, and rotate the line or zoom the circle with two fingers.
Besides, players can also customize victory conditions - either to defeat the opponents within a limited time, or to checkmate, defeating a specific unit to win the battle.
When your “well-orchestrated” battle is all done, add restrictions on budgets and factions playable on the battlefield, and save the battle into [Custom Content] to play it later with just one click.
Custom Content and Unit Editor
In the [Custom Content] interface, in addition to battle and campaign customization, the most commonly used by players is Unit Editor. Just like the PC version, mobile Unit Editor also includes clothe changes, weapon & skill equipment, and stats editing of any unit, or even create a "human pyramid" by combining two wobblers together:
After saving your own units in the new custom faction, you can add the faction directly to the map in sandbox mode and summon your newly designed army to fight for glory.
That’s all for today’s sharing about custom content! As regards the development progress so far, our team has been recently adjusting UI and optimizing gameplay performance on mobile. Localization work is also underway for future playtest preparation.
