Hey guys I tried to mod C:DDA like a couple months ago with nil experience and recognized I was in well over my head with the projects I tried to set out for. Now I’m currently learning LUA (specifically in ROBLOX since it’s so dang easy there). However I’m def a slow learner when it comes to memorization. Since coding has a LOT of that it’s taking me a while to get anywhere.

Introduction aside, after I get rolling on my current project in ROBLOX I was thinking about possibly working (on the side) on porting C:DDA into ROBLOX.  
This won’t be anytime soon, probably a year away at the minimum before I come back to this topic with any kind of seriousness. But I want opinions on this idea from the community. Thanks for your time! (I really love C:DDA and porting it, even only the bare minimum of mechanics, would help to bring more people into the community which would in turn help the core game grow _probably_)

Forgot to add this part. It won’t be a 1:1 port, it’ll be a port from the current C:DDA 2D into a 3D ROBLOX version (It will/would not be LIVE [unless something changes] it would be turn based)

I suggest you to start working on your port and make an announcement when you have somewhat functional demo.

Oh man, it’s gonna be a while. Since my plan for the so-called ‘port’ is absolutely _not_ a port lmao. I do have some questions that I’ll drop on this thread, once I am sure of how to formulate the questions that is lol.

I have a potentially ridiculous idea that may be completely worthless. Feat:MyLackOfKnowledge.

So I’m currently using plain models to frame what I want to use as the tile system. Using octogons that are phased halfway together rather than using squares. I feel like if I go this far I may as well not make it turn based buuut. I want to push the envelope a little bit. Any opinions?

Alright so I think I’ve got what I want conceptualized properly in my mind for what I just mention above, I’m gonna try to code it. Emphasis on the ‘_try_’.

Be back in like… a week at the least
