My preference is definitely the full freedom of three dimensional movement, but I don't think it's a good idea to force that on the player where it's not appropriate. Space games on a plane can be good too. Drifter is a recent release that does this pretty well.

GOF1 :p

Thanks for the reply, I will have to check out Union and Mandate as those slipped under my radar.well, what was it?

<r>This was quite interesting, but also difficult. I experienced an error where I landed on Earth and could not relaunch, every time I tried to launch the game instantly told me 'you have landed on Earth' and I was returned to the mission setup screens. Enjoyed what was here, looking forward to ...

<t> Hello voxel, do you mean you can't target them at all or have tried to and it didn't work? I have been using Unity4 and haven't needed to do anything special to make the game work on older devices. The game is really simple in terms of graphical eye-candy though, there's no fancy shaders or such ...

Tech question for you georgeD, did you build this with Unity 3? I'm using Unity4 for development and I can't target older Android devices like you seem to have done according to Auryx's post

Just played a couple of mission on my nexus 4, and I'm astounded by the level of polish you've managed. This is really impressive stuff. Normally I really dislike space games that are locked to a 2D plane but this is really impressive stuff. 

What kind of help are you looking for? Art 2D/3D, audio, extra coding pals?

Pinged @celsiusgs on twitter, promising unlimited* sales if he weighs in on the discussion here. * counting on you guys to provide the unlimited part here

What I can't delete my own posts now? That should be a REQUIREMENT FOR ALL FORUMS. How else would we be able to observe your incompetence?

As a random aside I played a couple of rounds of Quake 3 on a raspi and it was very good after adjusting the graphics settings. Certainly enough horsepower for games of that era - assuming they're ARM compatible

Not sure why everyone is so surprised at the RasPi's 'power', it's the product of British Engineering and open source software*waves a little flag*

Fun times. The ship battles are surprisingly fun, wish the radar had a bit more contrast on it though so I could see it while the ship is getting knocked around all over the place by enemy fire and my bad piloting

Any updates, DarkOne?
