pods produce vapor trails now

Honored to have commissioned "Slimygoo", one of my favorite artists, to bring some coolness into this project. Super excited for this one!

You will find his art here:

(btw: in the concept you can see a space-pod pilot taking shape)

next space craft in

radioactive ring weapon

Complete custom 6DoF AI mechanics. No Add-Ons, plug-ins or any of that kind.

Next up: Pick-Up items

37 DVDs of backing up graphics, sounds and project versions. For a game that is only 76MB in size (so far).

Who else uses optical to back things up, I wonder?

4 minute test play of ALPHA 02052023

Marks almost 2 months of development. Proud moment of "I've made a thing!"

Whoever wants to test the game, be my guest. It's on itch.io (and can't be found , lol).

Started working on a custom AI.

So far the pods know how to choose between different possible paths and patrol them.

Can't use NavMesh... 6DOF AI from scratch = Nightmare!

Testing some audio for the first time.

The annoying shot sound is currently for the only weapon avilable... lol

Started working on the pick-up item mechanics.

The one from the screenshot is a simple energy re-filler.

more stuff to come...
