I've updated the warp effect and the warp bubble, which will smoothly distort space while the Alcubierre drive is running. This was an important effect to get right because it needs to be descriptive of how the drive operates.

This week's dev diary is later than usual due to optimising and perfecting the electrical systems.
Work continues on further optimising the generation of star systems around the ship. We can now generate 108k stars across 27 sectors without any noticeable performance impact, starting from the middle outward so the player doesn't notice the redraw.

Weekly Dev Diary - Issue 12
25/09/21
We are almost at the end of the #100daysofgamedev
In the past 93 days, we have created an entire galaxy system, added multiplayer, designed a new bridge, and almost a complete A-Deck.
Here's a snippet of that.
Casually flying past a random star in our new completely physicalised galaxy. All stars and planets exist in real-time, and you can warp between them at any speed!
Step aboard a fully-simulated, realistic starship with 200+ rooms over 7 decks. Explore a 1:1 scale galaxy driven by real astrophysics, in real-time, either solo or with friends.

Without a doubt, one of the most common questions we've been asked over the past week is "Will you be supporting VR?" Well, after today we can respond with a resounding yes! 1st stretch goal reached! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fleetyard/starship-simulato…
