#WIPWednesday oooo what's that?!
Non-canon btw. Shields aren't supposed to appear THAT soon on these ships. But hey ... enemy anti-fighter turrets can fire at u but u can't hit them at all - at least until the shields are down.

#screenshotsaturday OK, this is a preview on how playing as a turret feels like. I know we aren't the first game with turret controls (duhz) but it's a secondary gameplay when reinforcements aren't available.
Oh yeah the flak hit sphere is pretty big.

#WIPThursdays #WorkInProgress Interior "cockpit" view. Ammunition matters. If this is proximity fuze flak that fighter wouldn't have stood a chance.
Still need to work on the UI display and other issues. Soon.

#mondaymotivation here's a temporary placeholder for a 4-turret "chicago piano" which is an anti-fighter turret. Not a turret u'd wanna fly against head-on.

No #screenshotsaturday this week. Working on completing the turret framework:
1) Barrels can be taken out individually
2) Each barrel recoils independently
3) Switching between turrets and UI display

#screenshotsaturday! Added recoil camera shake (that doesn't affect distant objects) & hover controls (up/down) - that's the 4th axis u can control ur fighter apart from pitch, yaw, roll. Now u can just face down and hover up to do an attack run

#screenshotsaturday u can control a turret if u wish. Though, ur AI wingmen won't be doing anything. This is a passage of gameplay where the mothership is waiting for reinforcements. Firing at the right target makes a big difference too.

#screenshotsaturday Therer're tiny systems built into the game that helps the player silently. Often, aiming at small turrets tend to be hard due to the fighter being too maneuverable; hence the FINESE aim mode. Watch and find out!

ok, I'm going to put it here - my input polling is done via a thread that polls at a FIXED INTERVAL. Turning V-sync off won't make input more sensitive.
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev
Please - turn on V-sync. Rendering so many fps (ie, 500fps) without DLSS or FSR turned on is insane.

#screenshotsaturday the final song for the demo is complete! Song's called "Burst Fire"; something most players would likely use to focus firepower on the target briefly.

#GamingTuesday #TuesdayVibes ok - here's an ACTUAL vid of me arranging the new battle song - www.twitch.tv/videos/25732...
Used both "sushi" and "threading" approach. One to make detailed sections, the other to thread the entire song with bass only.
