Bon Voyage is just a small project i’m working on, since i stucked in making a Planet LOD system for my main project, Captain Kev’ Kenev. But most of the stuff in BV (Bon Voyage) will find its way to CKK later, so its not that much waste of time is think.
Hmm, they are nice, and quite bumpy! I like the detail on the asteroids!
What’s the story of Bon Voyage?
thanks. there is no story at all, its like a collection of old arcade space games like asteroids and space invaders and some kind of free flight game. i just started with thies because i wanted to make something playable.
Hmm! A resources project hein? Well done! However, if you add planets, wont you still have the LOD system problem?
There will be planets in the game, but not that detailed and without LOD, it isnt needed pecouse landing ore surface flight will not be possible. I’m still working on my LOD system for CKK but its not that simple an it still need a lot of work.
What method are you adopting for CKK LOD system, and how detailed will the planet surfaces be? Or at least how do you plan to do it?
the planets are icospheres made of 320 segments wich are using 5 difrent basic meshs each mech can be replaced with at least 4 high poly segments. so every planet uses the same 25 meshs. the 320 objects (segments) wich forms the planet are using a displacement mod for the surface. if you get closer to a single sigment, it replaces his mech with the next more detailed one. its quite simple but still have some problems like ugly seams betwean the segments.
I think you need to learn how to use screen capture software 
haha :D, your totally right Dawisch :). i tried 3 or 4 programs but it was frustrating, and after one day messing around with it i gave up. i don’t know if it’s just me, being to stupid, or if i just tried the wrong programs. Do you have any tip for me?
I would download the free version of fraps. It can only record 25 seconds at a time (free version) but it is by far the best screen capture software out there and you can always take multiple recordings and combine them in windows movie maker or whatever you use. Basically it will just be a program running in your taskbar and you simply press the hotkey (f9 default I tihnk) to start recording. Then it will save it to the video folder (a path of your choice) when you press the hotkey a second time. You’ll figure it out 
Here’s the site: http://www.fraps.com/download.php
Your game looks really nice so far from what I can tell btw 
thanks man :). and also thanks for the link :).
after a week i spend very far away from my computer, i will give you the most recent informations about the project.
first, bon voyage is still in an very early stage, so right now it’s not much more then a concept.
so, bon voyage is not just one game, its like a collection of 3 classic space games, the inspiration for this 3 games are all took from their acorn electron versions (because i think its one of the hottest vintage machines :))
the first game is meteors, how its called on the electron, but its better known as asteroids. my version will be nothing else then a remake, just asteroids and sometimes a ufo that tries to kill you.
the second one is spaceship commander, i don’t know if its so well known. the gameplay is like in asteroids, its just a top down shoot em’ up, but here the camera follws the rotation of the player. the orginal game spaceship commender is much more complex then asteroid, you shoot at other spaceships instead of asteroids, your ship has a regenerating shield and a rescue capsule and you can fly around wherever you want, wich would be very cool if there were more then just enemy spaceships. so in my version i will add a planet, a moon, asteroids und some space stations and other sattelites, so its kind of an open world top down shoot em’ up or something.
and the last one, the big one, will be elite. but in a very simplefied version. just one system (but with more then just one planet!).
and if i really get to finish all this stuff… i will try to port it to iphone and ipad, just because i heard that its possible :)…
