GOLD PETROL: JET-POWERED SURFACE MINING SIMULATOR

Cross-Platform Version Added!


Just completed a version of Gold Patrol that will work on non-Windows systems. Theoretically, the old version “should” have worked on non-Windows systems already as long as you were using a .NET distribution such as Mono (or Portable.NET, I’m told). In reality, it didn’t work because I had unknowingly used a Windows-specific function at one point (a keyboard function from the Windows Presentation Foundation, for those who are interested). I had to retool the game quite a bit to get it to work without this function, but in the process I was able to introduce some tweaks that I think are improvements.

The plane has a much more “swoopy” (not flappy!) movement now: when you change direction (up or down) it keeps going in that direction until press that direction button again, change direction, or change speed (right or left). It’s kind of a subtle change that makes the game harder in some ways and easier in others, but over all more interesting.

Along with the change in controls, the newer version also allows you to go a little slower, if you so choose.

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
