Defender, the 6DOF space ship shooter release #3

Early and un-perfected is release #3 But I thought to release it before this project under-goes a large overhaul.

As Normal:
There are two parts two this game:
The container, an .exe and necessary .dll’s for windows users to play the game. Once you have downloaded this once, the chance is that you will never need to download it again.

The other part is the data. This is the information files for the game, containing textures, sounds, maps and other such goodness. If you have blender then you will only need to download this, but if you don’t want to get blender then you will have to get the container.
Note that Blender is cross-platform, so if you don’t run windows you can still play it through blender. It will only work with blender versions 2.50-2.59. It will not run in blender 2.49 or less, and has a few errors in 2.60 and greater.

Features and Changes:
As with release two and…

  • A new (experimental) level
  • Buying and selling weapons
  • Far more intelligent AI
  • Better looking death
  • Fixed multiple bugs
  • A “New” turret (actually old, but never in the game before). It’s on your team too!

Why this release is “early”:
Before releasing this release I was planning to do several things, including finishing level 2, adding in the remaining secondaries and sorting out another briefing. However there are several major upcoming changes in this project that mean that now is the time to throw out a last release.
What’s Happening:

  • Name Change to “DEEP Space” Information
  • Major re-working of the file/folder structure. This will mean that releases are not likely for quite some time.
    Thus this is the “last” release of Defender, but the project will be continued. I will post links here to the new site when it is completed.
