Hey guys, how’s it going?
So its certainly been awhile since I’ve posted, but due to a huge Sci-Fi binge I wanted to try my hand at making my own space sim or at least just making some basic stuff.
I’ve been a huge fan of Elite Dangerous, recently backed Star Citizen to try the alpha, and finally played lots of Stellaris. Playing these games and watching Interstellar (for like the 5th time) has made me want to give making a Space Sim a crack.
So here we can see my test space ship (which I actually modelled myself!) moving and rotating. My friend helped me out with some of the math behind the movement which helped tremendously make it smooth.
I envision this being played with a HOTAS, and will probably design most of the controls around that as well as a regular Xbox/Playstation controller.
Other than that, I am hoping to be a bit more active on this blog. I’d like to try putting my feelings on certain game design philosophy in words so in the future I can revisit the blog and see how my feelings changed on certain subjects, as well as get opinions from you guys.
I hope you guys have a good night and will probably try to get more updates for tomorrow!
