multiplayer aircraft game

[thorny sparrow]

Im working on a multiplayer aircraft combat game, similar to war thunder, but much more arcadey. It would be great to get some feedback on it

[raw bobcat]

Got me listening to Freebird again now, thanks 😄

I'm not so familiar with the genre, but I think the flying looks quite fun and arcady 😊

[slim slate]

oh thats cool

[honest rover]

I don’t know if these are the models you will be using for the final game but I would expect an arcady game to have more arcady sprites. Looks fun tho

Looking clean

This is nice mate! How did you get the mouse controls to work though? Using mouse positions for me usually don't work when converted into vectors so I'm intrigued how you did this!

[thorny sparrow]

im using a modified version of Why485s MouseFlight asset

Tomcat noise, f16

Anyway looks pretty cool, hotas support?

[thorny sparrow]

[thorny sparrow]

better looking clouds (thanks to the help of @tardy axle ) and some bug fixes regarding missile spawning

[low orchid]

I have joystick throttle and pedals so you can hmu if you need some debugging 🔥

[thorny sparrow]

sure, you can help me debug when im gonna start on the hotas controls

[tardy axle]

Looks awesome!! Congrats.

The soft blending is really nice on the particles BTW.

[thorny sparrow]

first big playtest

[sweet sundial]

The movement is sick! Nice job on this man 😄

[thorny sparrow]

thanks

[thorny sparrow]

new graphics, map and player markers

[sweet sundial]

sweet, love the lowres look haha. perhaps make the font also something pixely to match the vibe?

[thorny sparrow]

oh yea good idea

thanks :)

[echo flame]

i tried making a game like this thinking "well this seems like a good idea"... no, no it was not a good idea because i spent day and night trying to fix problems that were just getting worse and worse 😭☠️

[thorny sparrow]

ikr? i spent multiple weeks trying to make missiles work in multiplayer

[echo flame]

the missiles are what made me quit because im just a begginer in game dev and thats too much for me

my idea was to make low poly war thunder

[thorny sparrow]

new map

its going to be more of a simulated/ scenario type gameplay

[thorny sparrow]

new effects for the afterburner and also stalling

[thorny sparrow]

better movement

and new map

[low orchid]

Excellent @thorny sparrow

[thorny sparrow]

thx

[low orchid]

if you need play testers, i really like what youve made so far, ill be down to try.

[low orchid]

hows dev? @thorny sparrow

[thorny sparrow]

its goin good

[wicked smelt]

@thorny sparrow what netcode did you use?

[thorny sparrow]

alteruna multiplayer

[wicked smelt]

Thanks for sharing, where di you find It? Why didnt you go with other netcode?

[thorny sparrow]

i saw it in a video, and it has the least delay from all other netcodes i tried (photon, fishnet)

[thorny sparrow]

missile position prediction

[wicked smelt]

well, the video kinda wrong & true at the same time, bit Its ok

[low orchid]

In real life wings 'shudder' under high G loads, i know its pretty early in dev but thats something that you could polish up

[low orchid]

@thorny sparrow given up?

Project looked hella cool

[thorny sparrow]
