Ancient Factory City should have been a mix of citybuilding and factory management. Unfortunately its just a prototype, because I didn't have enough time to flesh it out properly.
IMPORTANT: You need a working Java8 JRE or SDK to run the game. Unzip the archive - it probably wont start out of the zipfile. The game doesn't explain anything and is in a really early prototype stage, so you probably will have to read this, to understand whats going on and how to control it!
To make it count as a game I smacked in a goal at the last moment: Try to make as many houses "operating" at the same time as possible. If a house is supplied with a bucket of water and three apples, it will consume these items and count as operating for about 20 seconds.
Controls: (current program state is shown in the top left corner)
q - select next building blueprint
e - select next interaction mode (only building and wiring are useful)
r - rotate direction for new buildings
t - select next logic type (only for logic units)
How to play:
-Build an apple farm to produce apples
-Build conveyor belts to transport items to other buildings
-To get water buckets, you need stone from a quarry to be transportet to a mason, which will chisel it into a stone bucket, whick can be filledwith water inside a well
-Try to supply as many houses as possible with apples and water buckets
The logic system:
-Screenshot 2 shows a logic setup
-Logic components are sensors, logic units and switsching belts
-Logic components need to be connected with wires (wiring mode)
-Logic components are either active or inactive
-Sensors are active, if an item is in front of them (keep in mind, thes have a direction, they look at)
-Logic units are active, if their logic function is fulfilled between all connected wires
-Switching belts are active (they change their direction), if any of the connected wires is active
-Keep in mind, that wires are directed
I would love to read your opinion in a short comment! Thank you very much for playing!
