## About the project


Ages of Lige is a game, where the player has to lead his civilization through ages.

The main goal of gameplay is progress. The planned features are:

- Technology tree

- Building

- Entire diplomacy system

- Disease handling

- Full logistics system

- Terrain generation

- (Possibly) Space exploration

- Production handling

- Non-linear Story

- (Possibly) Natural Disasters

- Scenarios


The project is open source and is available on [gihub](https://github.com/DragonGamesStudios/Ages-of-Life). The plan is to enable sponsorship, although

Patreon site is not launched yet because I have basically nothing to offer to

supporters.

## The team


The entire developer team consists of one (hobby) programmer (me) and one composer,

whose name I won't give (yet) for privacy reasons.

## Devblog


Hopefully I'll be able to release a new devblog post every saturday around 7pm (19:00) UTC.

## Current state


The game so far hasn't got much, but it should change soon. Right now I'm planning

to redesign GUIs and recreate them using Agui. Afterwards, I will take care of actual

game, beginning with technologies.

## History


The Ages of Life project is actually about 1 year old. It was first developed in Python with Pygame. Later, after encountering severe performance issues, I switched to Lua combined with LOVE2D engine. After that, when thinking about the project's future I decided to once again recreate the project, this time in C++ using Allegro library. I went quite far in Lua, so there's a lot of work to redo, but I will also have an opportunity for grand refactorization. Every piece of code will be planned carefully, so it'll be expandable, readable and well-optimized (at least I hope so).


I am a young (quite very) hobby developer with about 5 years of experience in programming, so there might be sometimes some serious issues with my code. Also, sorry for my English - I'm not a native speaker.
