SANDS OF SODIS is undergoing transition to a purpose-built propietary engine.
This repo has been archived.
SANDS OF SODIS is built atop an advanced Unity framework, inspired by the code structure of PSX/Dreamcast-era JRPGs. We employ DarkMoonSharp to harness the power of LuaJIT, creating a flexible and high-performance "kernel" replication around the core game logic. The C# codebase within employs ECS modules, which are optimized with Burst compilation at runtime (DOTS). Our performance and stability is benchmarked against hand-crafted C++ engines akin to Valve's Source, and nothing less.
Below is a detailed look at our robust Quantum Console-based interface, which we use internally for balancing. You can access it from the Dev Room. Additionally, we'll soon be integrating a Lua-based modding interface, allowing you to create your own weapons, units or gamemodes!
Commands used in the in-game console are structured as follows:
command argument1 argument2 argument3...
Use the help command for a list of enemy types.
help enemy
Start by using the create command, to add an instance of a certain enemy to the kernel.
create enemy ['enemyType', 'chosenEnemyName']
Optionally:
create enemy ['enemyType', 'chosenEnemyName', level, STR, RES, AGI, DEX, VAS]
Use the list command to query the current instance.
list enemy
This should display the enemy you just created.
Use the check command to print an instanced enemy's level, stats or equipped gear.
check chosenEnemyName level
check chosenEnemyName AGI
check chosenEnemyName gearset
Use the modify command to update an instanced enemy's level, stats or equipped gear.
modify chosenEnemyName level 10
Setting a level imposes a default set of stats, for an enemy of that type and level.
modify chosenEnemyName AGI 16
modify chosenEnemyName gearset [headName, bodyName, legsName, ringName, mainHandName, offHandName]
The enemy's now registered in the kernel. We bring it into the field by creating a battle:
create battle [mapName, chosenBattleName, normal, chosenEnemyName1, chosenEnemyName2...]
The first parameter dictates starting positions: normal, advantage or disadvantage.
list battle
Use the spawn command to instantiate the battle, in the form of the leading enemy.
spawn chosenBattleName
The enemy will behave as it does in the main game, actively searching for the player.
Use freeze to stop all enemies in their tracks.
freeze on
freeze off
This is useful if you'd like to spawn multiple battles, to simulate chain encounters.
Use simulate to run a comparision of stats and simulate a battle, outputting it's result.
simulate battle battleName
