Slow progress in Build UI : Creating a (UI) for games isn't necessarily difficult; it's more tedious and time-consuming. The real challenge lies in making the UI responsive, intuitive, and performant across different screen sizes. Not final : D

I've been busy with work lately. This week, I’ve only spent about 2 hours each night working on "Unit Building UI. I want to keep it simple and easy to understand.

It's been a very busy week at work, currently in the middle of a server upgrade, development on my game project has been a bit slower than usual. That said, I still managed to make some progress! I worked on refining the Cruiser's thruster engine.

Never take good suggestions for granted from friends here. After some adjustments, the attack bomber missile launch has been a little bit improved and now wobble. Hopefully,
a few more tweaks and we'll have it running smoothly!

Coffee for you buds☕, When you have Selected units with same type it will just display the information of the ship, the text ship info will change on the final game for sure 😅

But I a health indicator on the unit selected is also a good idea, something like this :

Implemented a toggleable Ship Indicator system last night, that allows to selectively display or hide visual markers for Friendly, Mine, and Enemy vessels. This feature is designed to improve tactical awareness and reduce on-screen clutter during high-intensity combat scenarios. #GameDev

Some progress: Attack bomber missiles are already implemented, but it feel a bit bland. Maybe it could follow a curved trajectory before locking onto the main ship to add more visual and realism...

The Attack Bomber's primary weapon is intentionally designed to be weak, as its main role is to serve as an offensive unit against large ships. Its true strength lies in its guided missile secondary weapon, I cannot wait to implement it and see it in action!

Not much progress today. I juz tested the game using the Top-Down typical RTS camera along with the new targeting system. Sometimes I win against the AI, sometimes I lose, this time,I lost!😄Also, I managed to fix the stuttering bugs on explsions✌️

Additionally, just Implemented a Target Lock Indicator with a red line or marker to visually indicate which enemy ships are currently being targeted. This will help quickly identify which enemy units are locked onto. ^_^y

Previously, fast-moving units were difficult to target, now, with the new targeting system, any enemy craft within your selection area will be automagically queued as targets for your currently selected ship. Even fast movers can’t escape now! 😈

Hey there! I'm a SoloDev, working on my own as a hobbyist GameDev during the nights. Currently building a Fast-paced Space-Themed RTS Game. 5 Months old in development using the Godot engine 4.x, but having a blast experimenting and learning ^_^y

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 is done for the 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁, now it’s fully armed and ready to rain chaos from the skies. This bird’s not just flying fast, it’s about to unleash its payload for larger ships like it owes someone a sandwich 😆

I'm not entirely sure what went wrong 😅 I had the same number of units, same factions, yet I lost a battle against the AI, but anyway, the engine's lens flare effects are now functioning. ^_^y

While the Attack Bomber AI is still underdev, I've added new camera mode. 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲: The camera will lock onto the ship and follow it from a dynamic perspective for an immersive view of the battle, like you're piloting the ship in real-time : )

It's satisfying if you can hear your ship getting hit and even more impactful when it explodes with a powerful sound effects. Adding distinct audio cues for damage and destruction enhances the players immersion and provides immediate feedback during battles.

Tried to balance the power of weaponry based on ship types, a group of 3 Cruiser ships should be able to defeat a 3 Attack Fighters as Cruiser-Ships are more heavily armed and durable. However, a dozen Attack-Fighters can overpower 3 Cruiser ships...

How about a swarm of Fast-Attack Fighter-Craft launching a coordinated assault against large enemy warship, striking from all directions to overwhelm its defenses, this isn't the final AI attack mode, it can be improved later : )

Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz 😴

Designing, developing, and implementing a robust Managed Game Network Library is a daunting task, it can be totally mind-boggling and may even lead to hair loss😄But when you need something tailored to your specific needs, you roll your own 😊
