So someone suggested I post this here so that's what I'm doing. If you've played Cosmic Rift or Star Control II great, you know what I'm shooting for. If not, its an overhead action shooter where each player controls a starship with movement similar to Asteroids. In addition to killing other players you will get minerals, buy upgrades, equip your ship. Sounds fun right? I'd like to get some other people to get this done quicker and better.
Still needed:
Get WASD movement to work like the game Asteroids. A rotate left, D rotate right, W accelerate, S decelerate. 0 gravity / friction
Projectile / impact combat. Ability E or Spacebar, shoot weapon straight ahead, damage on impact.
Hmm, seems easy when I type it out. Never the less I work 9 to 5 so my time is limited so any extra hands would be nice. After we get those basics done we can start picking projectile models, ships, weapons, stats. Everything else will kind of fall into place, but I have to make sure we can get the controls first. Oh and making a star base for each side. Cosmic Rift had a thing where you could make a mini base and turrets which was kind of cool. Would like to add that too, but I'm getting ahead of myself. First things first, Asteroids like movement, Projectile / impact combat.
Well after implementing the movement / turning system then Bnet testing it I have found with the Bnet lag it is unplayable. I am closing this project. Single tear :*(
Edit: with the close of this project I did search and find out the original Cosmic Rift is playable for free now. I laughed out loud when I found out. I played for a little but its strictly multiplayer so not much fun alone. Forums had a few nostalgic lost souls like myself looking for people.
