Namespace

The latest match of Primodium is being played in the Pri_11 namespace. When calling core game functions for the latest match, you must prepend the function call with the namespace. For example, to call the getAsteroid function in the Asteroid table, you would call Pri_11__getAsteroid. The ABI should already have the namespace prepended to the function name.

Changelog

v0.11 is our biggest update to date. We've changed and added the following:

  • New leaderboard scoring format to highlight two core gameplay loops: conquest and economy.
    • Primodium: Capture asteroids and volatile shards to claim Primodium, which increases your conquest points.
    • Wormhole: Sacrifice specific resources into a wormhole to increase your economy points.
  • Volatile shards are proto-asteroids that can be captured to quickly claim Primodium.
    • Be careful! They are known to explode after existing for a certain amount of time and destroy all units in orbit or traveling to/from it.
    • An exploded shard will respawn in a new location.
  • Wormholes demand specific resources to be sacrificed at different times, and randomly rotates between the different resources.
  • The match now ends when the unit death counter has reached its limit!
  • Colony Slots are introduced to the game. They are occupied by each owned asteroid and Colony Ship.
  • Colony Ships now have a fixed training cost, but require a free Colony Slot.
  • You can now abandon an asteroid in order to free up a Colony Slot.
  • Asteroids with basic resources now generate resources and droid defenses over time. They can be raided for extra resources!
  • Only one starmapper can be built on an asteroid at a time.
  • Improved objectives to guide players through the game.
  • Increased building level maximums across much of the different types. Main bases can now be upgraded to level 15!
  • New Command Center interface to help manage your empire.
