The Earth fleet with a giant gray battleship that looks like an upside-down aircraft carrier with two smaller blue frigates, vigilantly defending our home planet from an unknown alien invader that keeps reappearing every two years with stronger and more advanced tech, so this time we managed to track their fleet in our solar system and are preparing for a recon mission. I should add that this game renders in a smaller, wide-screen window so I've cropped the images accordingly. Also, this game rules, is incredibly cool and controls surprisingly well, and also there's an English patch that includes full English voice acting (which is really well done) because there's A LOT of chatter in this game.

A cool hero shot of our fighter wing, the Feather-I Type A, a blue and gray fighter ship with neon-blue sharp wings on the sides and top and bottom, flying through an explosion after blowing up a purple enemy ship.

A giant alien structure, basically a ring with four red spikes going outward, like a sideways crown, commonly knows as an Accel Gate, which uses gravitational force to sling entire asteroids at Earth as a cheap but effective weapon, with the giant rock being equipped with additional nodes to adjust the trajectory.

A first person cockpit view of the Feather-I Type B (indicated by the red HUD), currently being held by the Kite support craft (its red nose poking out at the top of the screen), a slender carrier vehicle capable of high speeds, hyperjumps and reconnaissance sensors. You're following your wing of two additional Feathers and are currently briefed on the mission at hand.

Shaded my two crew star fighter draw! :d

TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now i’ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. there’s bugs. but it’s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)

MEMES! THE DNA OF THE SOUL!
Congratulations to @krishty.bsky.social! For those don't know, Krishty has been reverse-engineering this game for many years, so being given unprecedented access to the game to modernize and lead a faithful re-release must be a dream come true. A real passion project.

I finally looked into that gas giant blender tutorial

This was more what I was thinking ;)

I think it would read way better if the borders could stay as full hex edges but the non border hexes were indicated as vertices instead.

Rolling 3d6, you'd expect at least 1 success at ~70%, 2 at ~26% and all 3 at ~4%.
Doing it by summing, you'd need target numbers of 9 for ~74%, 13 for ~26%, and 16 for ~5%.

Summing provides more granularity, but it's way easier to not have to perform maths when dealing with a dice pool.

Here is one I made procedurally in Blender for my own map work.

Oh hey some of these are fun.

Some aircraft sketches for fun

All the best spaceships look like scifi guns tbh

Project 2100 type Long Range Patrol Craft(LRPC) of the Brotherly Nations Cosmic Fleet (FKBN). It served mostly with the Exosphere Command and in several civilian roles. While it possessed a limited offensive capability, its main role was space surveillance and early warning

Panic for a bit then reform into a new formation and then level up all their stats so they become trickier and better shots!

I was thinking that, like an AI manager that flies the formation pattern and just assigns ships to fill it, but I still like that the leader being destroyed scatters the group as it provides a reason to carefully pick off the rest first when they're more manageable.

@why485.bsky.social helped with the code for formation flight, though I'm only currently directing them to steer to the formation points, not strafe them at all. Seems to work well because my ships are always moving and I also accounted for their current velocity in the maths which also helps!

More #lowpoly #godot video game action! This time I have enemies flying in formation. If you destroy the leader, the rest will scatter and do their own thing which isn't ideal. But if you attack the rest first they stay as a cohesive block which is easier to deal with!

Here's your regular reminder to check out one of the coolest space sims ever made.

I have to use some crazy shader shenanigans to get pixel perfect lines and points rendering in my projects

Decided to spice up the background stars a little. The cool thing about these is they're actually rendered ontop of everything additively, but I make them flicker in and out whether something is obscuring their centres.

Work marches ever on on my #lowpoly #godot project. It barely looks like anything has change since my last post but believe me, I've put far too much effort into the pettiest of things no one would ever notice but me! Also added pitch ladders, roll indicator, compass trackers and targetting brackets

This is the way!
