Hello all,

hey guys, finally nailed these damn carriers, their handling of their craft was painful to figure out and fix all the problems related to it, but i am happy with how they turned out and act. I will eventually involve a more hive-minded type of control over the fighters where it can dictate targets and movement orders. at the moment this hive mind is limited to launching and recalling fighters.

here is the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D929bS…;

i am moving to a new update schedule where i will post a video and journal entry when i make large improvements. so anyway, what are your impressions of these new ships and how they act? any ideas and/or criticisms are welcome.

Hey guys,
would anyone be able to help me out here, I'm looking for some icons to symbolize the different ship types and classes in my game, i was wondering if anyone knew of any good low resolution icons. I'm looking for something between 32x32 and 64x64 mostly for inspiration but i welcome any help with this project. i will post the new textures later this week in a single image for those interested. Also im thinking of doing a weekly update series of videos if i make any real progress on my game and will again link them here. i am also interested in any feed back i can get from you guys, good and bad it all helps.
Thanks.

Hi all,

just wanted to share a progress update on a game im working on in my spare time for fun. there are still parts that need to be improved/finished but this is just a progress update: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A56Vhw…
it is mostly just demonstrating combat with the three distinct types of ship, again the green guys im fighting are not fully textured so they all look the same, however the blue team have distinct types for each of the three types.

The ship second from the left on the bottom row is a missile ship, it fires its missiles from the gap running down the center of the ship. The ship second from the right on the top row is a rocket ship, it fires unguided rockets from its rotating turret.
Every other ship in the blue flotilla is a ballistics ship each of with is armed with an autocannon for taking out fighters and maybe corvettes.

using some clever trigonometry which i stole from the movement code the ships will attempt to predict where their target will be when the projectile reaches it and corrects it's aim accordingly, but there is a little spray on the ballistics ships to make things interesting still.

the large station can also produce more ships, but only ballistics frigates at the moment, so enjoy. i will post more updates as i make more improvements.

Thanks and Enjoy.

So i have been following this guy called QuAZ for a while, he does some awesome space art. i have given him nothing but praise for this, all of which was due. so he posts an image featuring a gas giant and a nebula, it was pretty cool... the one thing that bugged me was the planet was not round it was slightly egg shaped. I commented about this whilst still praising him for the overall image and he replies rather rudely and has deviously blocked me from commenting, giving note or seeing his art at all. was he overreacting or am i being thick?
