Audio work continues to be the most impressive part of your work Kairo. Love that foley. First time you went "in game" to test the frigate, I was alt tabbed and just heard this glorious CRACK of the jump drives. [edit] Everyone who can watch this should, its amazing.

Is this game still going on strong? I can't seem to find game additions just reviews on his web page , Did he change his webpage or am i blind?. When was the last time this got a nice overhaul? My issue is that it looks like it'll be a sweet game but i have a habit of buying in too early, burning out and moving on. Rather wait this time.

I don't understand what it is for this game to be "still going on strong." What is it for a game that's not out to be going on strong? Does it need constant "game additions" on the official website? What in the gently caress are those, even? Plus, being worried about buying in too early when that is literally impossible at this point is an interesting worry to have.

Hey guys. Just checking in to say that the lack if DLC is just killing the replay value. I can't even find a customer support number on the company website. This is a real slap in the face to the ES community.

I swear I saw something about donating towards this for some access a few months back when he was doing Squadron chatter update. I'm just being a retard  right now because the "Development log" doesn't lead anywhere anymore so that's why I was asking if it's still progressing forward nicely.

The game is still in active development and every stream so far has shown off some cool stuff. You can watch both the arcived streams here: http://www.twitch.tv/marauderinteractive/profile/pastBroadcasts Worth having on in the background as they are rather interesting. So far we can't throw money at the game yet. Sadly. But its progressing nicely and Kairo, the developer, is active in this very thread and happy to answer questions. Keep an eye in here for developments because either Kairo himself will post them, or TychoCelchuuu will beat him to it - Or maybe one of the many other spacenerds (myself included).

Hey all, running the stream in about 10 minutes. Working on visibility/LoS routines, mostly in regards to hiding ships in the nebulae. May be brutal since I'm updating old code that I wrote on a plane a few months ago and this stuff can be tricky in general. http://www.twitch.tv/marauderinteractive/

This game looks so goddamned good. I love how the fog/smoke/whatever lights up with weapon effects. This may be a stupid question but how will your UI handle multiple resolutions? Is there some kind of scaling going on or will everything look relatively smaller as resolution increases?

It's a reasonable concern to worry that an indie dev might just up & stop development entirely; or claim to be still developing while moving, at best, at a glacial crawl. E.g., Cortex Command. Luckily, in Enemy Starfighter's case, that fear is very far removed from reality. But it's reasonable in the general case.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Perfect end to the stream, Kairo was so busy watching his pretty cloud lighting he smashed his fighter into the side of a frigate. That was fun. I actually love the Twitch chat because everyone has a good time gets along, and I can focus when I need to without worrying about answering stuff all the time. The concept book links are super helpful too -- already have a few new books in my amazon cart. The visibility stuff is going to be rough because it gets expensive. I'll have to find some way to divide the work up into chunks or generally make it speedy for a lot of units. I'll have to do that off stream through, because it will probably involve staring at my code/articles and cursing.  But now that I can hide units from each other, I can do things like ambushes. Space stuff is fun, but without terrain it's a lot like Napoleonic/Civil War tactics (line up and shoot). There are nuances to that for sure, but not the kind I want to put in this game. I want to make the space version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqg8p_rzVrE Myth 2 is probably my favorite Bungie game, and made great use of terrain/unit mechanics.

Giggily posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnvEFFCjSCw I like this, will just have to figure out how to model humongous pieces of geometry that look good when you fly close to them. Also, Unity also supports stencil buffer access now, which means I could potentially have Doom 3 shadows if I can buy/create a good implementation of that. Self-shadowing ships and wrecks like that would be so hot. Edit: Also, how bullshit is this? http://www.tomshardware.com/news/DOOM-source-code-depth-fail-john-carmack-FPS,14079.html Speeding up these shadows using depth-fail is patented which is why the out-of-the-box solutions don't do it.

Holy gently caress if you could do that with the shadows that would be insane. Imagine fighting around a slowly rotating wreck that's bigger than a fleet or something.

That works for Legend of the Galactic Heroes (which was mentioned in the stream*), but that is also a very different sort of space combat than what you've got going. * And a series I'd recommend, though its got a huge arching story across 200ish half-hour episodes and a large cast of characters (it employed practically every male voice actor in Japan when it was made). The story is less about crazy pew pew ship fights as it is a character and political pseduo-historical drama. The Napoleonic line battle-esque ship engagements set to classical music just make an awesome backdrop. You'd probably like how many of the ships look, they've got a similar style to the ones you and Homeworld use as an influence.  Also, I didn't even realize you could patent a chunk of code like that, very weird. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Nov 2, 2013 |

Those cloud effects are great. They remind me of some of the development stuff I read for Guns of Icarus Online about the way they handle clouds and visibility. That's another Unity game and I know they have some sort of patch system running through Steam. Actually, here's the specific post I was thinking about.

Is it going to be pretty much mission arenas like all the classics? In my space game I keep telling myself I should make (no stealing), I imagine engagements starting from way way beyond firing and visual range where you can use tech stuff (jamming, spoofing, passive vs active sensors, going quiet, space AWACS, etc) to try to mess with your opponents. But that's almost an entire game in itself and may not lend itself to your vision.
