The Best Game Ever - WEEK 2 : Project Architecture Design
[DEVLOG] Week 2
Status
Currently, this is a basic incremental clicker game template.
Current Goal
Working on recreating a similar experience to the classic "a dark room" game.
Newest Progress
Refactored the project to the following architecture:
Having "RGB" layers inside Main node (global singletons) instead of having "RGB" layers inside composite nodes (self managed instances) feels better for now.
The SaveFile is an autoload node holding variables in-memory. The save script will periodically autosave this node to the device file system. Restarting the game will load this node from the device file system to memory.
The SignalBus node is emitting signals between the three layers in the picture.
New UI theme is a minimalistic dark theme:
