Even more non-related models!

<t>Why hello there. I see you have clicked on this thread. There is no escape now. Prepare to view.... even more newbish attempts at modelling! Witness the; PF-L1 "Podfish" Personal TransportA gigantic luxury shuttle, though hardly worthy of the title. In fact, it's more of a frigate, or gunboat ...

Star Traders RPG

<t>Thought I might post this one, since it's defiantly worth a look. While it might not exactly be a space sim, it's a general open world space trading game all round with a nice slew of features. Found it during one of my aimless App Store safaris... Link: [url]http://www.corytrese.com/games ...

RE: Starpoint Gemini...and a Question About the Sequel...

<t>Yes! That's exactly what I thought of the game! It has rough edges, of course (and that's all the reviews seem to target), but the gameplay is gold. Personally, I like the 2D plane movement- it's unique and makes for an interesting gameplay style. Another game I thought seemed awfully similar was ...

RE: Pirate Galaxy

Hm... yes, I remember seeing that a long time ago. Wasn't too shabby. I honestly hate the whole F2P style, most games don't get it right... so I'm curious why now the developers aim for a KS.

RE: Galaxy on Fire 2 for the PC

<t>Eh, the graphical aspect has been stepped up alot. But it still just looks like the mobile versions, and I doubt it'll have enough depth to be enjoyable on PC. I've got the HD version on my iPad, and it seems almost identical. Combat has always been... slow, and too simple, in my opinion. And ...

RE: Some more model attempts

<t>Thanks! I'm working on experimenting with this thing called... eh... greebles I think... with another ship. I think my designs are too solid though (as in one giant body). Perhaps I should use concept images for once instead of making it up as I go along. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral ...

Some more model attempts

<t>Been awhile since I experimented with 3D, so I thought I'd post some models that I've done over the past few months. Nothing spectacular, or anything... I have this problem of not using proper techniques to model so my models end up rather odd and messy.Alliance Hawk Class CruiserAlliance Serpent ...

RE: FTL - Faster Than Light

I unlocked the Engi ship accidentely on my first playthrough, and have been using it ever since. I usually stock up on lots of crew members, keeping humans for controling systems and hiring a few ...

RE: FTL - Faster Than Light

<t>This game is pure epic. Been watching it since the kickstarter. Love how it gets across the feeling of controlling both a ship and crew. Certain things could be improved, of course, such as the lack of difficulty options and the unfourtunate problem of simply running into the same event over ...

RE: SpaceBit

<t>Sounds like a mighty interesting project. And unique, too- I'm not sure I've heard of a top down building game before. So would this have some simularities to our beloved block building game? :)The concept of building and flying spacecraft is also pretty enticing, how are the dynamics of such a ...

RE: Space Conquest "REMIX" WIP

<r>Thanks again. Construct is hating me at the moment- so I'm using really simplistic methods to do things. For example, the "interiors" or ships are simply an overlayed sprite with special collision masks. The "Player" object simply has special objects attached to certain areas to give function to ...

<t>I just finished the frame of the new "Interior Mode". I came across the idea by accident, when I was experimenting with dynamic zoom levels. Now, you can press the Switch Modes key (Q) to have the camera zoom into the ship so you can see the interior. This activates the Character Movement, and ...

Yea, it's a crappy name, but it's meant to be a remake of sorts of the first game I ever attempted to make.Righto- onto the game. The game ...
