Space shooter with realistic Zero-G physics

@m4nu3lf said: As always, the development is taking longer than initially planned, but in the last few months, I have changed and improved a lot of things in the game. I'm now working on a new procedural system to generate rooms and place objects/enemies.

The system is based on CSG, but rooms are also aligned so that I can use portal culling. Objects are placed in 2D grids defined on flat surfaces. The algorithm automatically detected these surfaces.

This reminds me a lot of the old game Forsaken. :)

I wasn't planning on starting a dev log, but Dev-logs can happen. I'm still figuring out how to properly edit and record the audio, so be patient (feedback is appreciated).

My game has a more hard science tone, and I used rigid bodies and forces to simulate the ship realistically. So, true Newtonian physics in friction-less space?

I don't know if this is something you are looking for, but I'd be interested to playtest this when it's at that stage. It does remind me a little of Descent.

Good luck with your continued development!

Yes. The ship has various flight modes, though. One is without any damping, so you accelerate, and the ship keeps moving in the same direction at the same velocity. With damping, the ship slows down, but it does so by using thrusters and consuming propellant.

Thanks!

I'm considering switching to toon shading and more saturated colours. Wdyt?
