I have changed only one thing over the course of development and it’s the config.json file. I instead created blueprint factories. The entire game config is created in code and the entire config is abstracted using interfaces. There is an IOC container config for each stage which defines what blueprint versions to pull in. Eventually I will probably move towards a custom GUI editor using ODIN. The game config built at runtime using blueprint factories straight in c# code has been good enough to get me this far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abac53770e80264efac168d/1615207064553-0QSIRLQS5XUPQV1OEZ99/2021-03-08+07_36_08-Jonk+-+main+-+Android+-+Unity+2020.2.3f1+Personal_+_DX11_.png Dev Blog - Jonk, Inc There’s a network for each area.

I split up the code into 4 threads. 1. HurricanePathFinder - This thread does a simulation by stepping the hurricane into the future n times to determine it’s future path. I tried several ways to do this but this was the only reliable way to really predict the path. The player can change the hurricane speed with abilities and the hurricane can speed up or slow down over land with abilities so it was basically impossible to do it any other way. The hurricane path data is used by AreaWorker and CityWarnWorker to reduce the dataset down. 2. AreaWorker - This thread uses the simulated hurricane path and determines which countries/provinces/states the path is overlapping and generates an active area list to be used by CityWarnWorker. 3. CityWarnWorker - This thread takes the active areas and a list of cities is generated that over lap the simulated path of the hurricane. This creates a new reduced list of cities used by ActiveAreaWorker. 4. ActiveAreaWorker - This thread takes all the processing the threads above have done and runs the entire damage simulation on the active cities. Warned cities do preparation simulations depending on a lot of factors like GDP and the strength of the hurricane that is inbound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abac53770e80264efac168d/1610579272171-4Q0PVBPSKK61P0IMZA0G/image-asset.jpeg Dev Blog - Hurricane Outbreak in 2020 The generated hurricane path polygon that’s used for intersecting with area quads. Only cities intersecting within the quad and then within the hurricane path are marked to be simulated with damage. The simulation continues to run on cities as long as there is damage applied. The hurricane can leave the area and there’s still flood damage occurring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abac53770e80264efac168d/1610578775483-9LA0NXXKK7S14KWDI3KR/ProfilerBefore.jpg Dev Blog - Hurricane Outbreak in 2020 Profiler before optimization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abac53770e80264efac168d/1610578906341-VQD7R09X7DZMQZMNZK03/HurricaneOutbreakAreas.jpg Dev Blog - Hurricane Outbreak in 2020 The expanded map with all the countries/provinces with a quad.
