I hope you will like my game.

That looks pretty good. I really like the earth in the bg.

Where did you get the texture map for the earth. I assume you used a cloud texture that was alpha mapped onto a sphere for the clouds. Overall a very nice screen shot.

Cool, how did you do the reticle?

Nice bg, if you ever release a demo, i think i will be enjoy the view rather than killing the baddies… anyway… i love space shooters! keep it up dude! :smiley:

Nice, teh earth looks REALLY nice, but the enemy spacecrafts loko rather odd.

The earth is made in Blender by me. I used 3 spheres (earth, clouds, atmosphere) and 5 high resulution textures.

The game is ready to download, thou is not yet finished.

I hope you will enjoy the game.

Hmm, alright game, it’s a little, familiar :slight_smile:

You should in crease the camera distance to show more of the background (select camera, edit buttons, increase clip end) and/or move the background closer.

Real nice :smiley:
but the I cant get the demo you layd out :frowning:

hi, I worked on something quite similar to this a while back. For those interested in really good earth textures type blue marble in google. They have rediculosly hi res earth texture maps.
I dont know whether its the jpg but the earth looks a little dull, planets are quite reflective.
For a real kickass effect, make your earth a seperate object (I dont know if you’ve done this already, but if your using a skybox, make another plane and place in slightly in side. Then if you use that lensflare creator thingy of blengine and place the sun between your earth and the skybox ,itll look cool, trust me.

If I could add my own two cents worth here. I am just now downloading the incompleted game just to see what it looks like.

My opinion is that I hope it is more then just another shoot-em-up. The best game I ever played( and I have been playing them since 1979) was the original “Elite” on a Commodore 64. Even back then in the days of 16 color graphics and wire frame models it was a game that I could not put down. That was because it combined the fly and shoot aspects with the buy and sell and upgrade game play and a several quest that you had to take on as random points during the game.

The game was not linear. You could be a straight trader, a bounty hunter, a pirate e.t.c and the quest did not always come at the same point in the game depending on what kinda role you decided to take on. You could become a pirate then clean up your act and become a straight trader again. Or be a bounty hunter then become a law enforcement flyer. Your trading and planing skills decided how much money you had to upgrade your ship and what type of planets that you traded too. All the while having to be sharp on the trigger button to survive.

I do not know if your game includes those type of elements but trust me I have not seen a game that was that enjoyable to me since, with the possible exception of Privateer and Echelon.

hey SHABA1, I heard about “Elite” and i know how it was.

And in my game i think i will include the “trade and sell” option and i
changed my ideea about game, it will be somekind of “3rd person” view.

Very nice demo. But needs more action, like fly around, or just defent something, because it’s a little bit boring if you have to shoot al the time. So make the player move forwards, or have to dodge astroid or something like that. But still a nice demo, but looks a bit fimiliar I saw a while ago. But keep blending. :smiley:

Hey SHABA1, have you ever played StarFlight 1 or 2? You can download them at starflight3.net, and they’re both very nice games. They run a bit odd on my WinXP computer though. In the game you start out by making a crew and buying parts for your ship, then you go out into space and explore teh galaxy. There’s like 5000 different planets you can go on, though some you’ll die if you try to land on them, but you encounter over 10 alien races and there’s also space and land combat. It’s a really old game, but i’ve always wanted to do a 3d remake.
