To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi! Recently published the first versions of my game Space Wing, and I'll continue improving it with space sim elements. You can play it in Android now:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.wcu.spacewing
More information: http://www.morphodia.com/portal/games/space-wing/
This is the plan to continue developing it:
Basic improvements
Better special effects and audio
New ships and enemies
More weapons
New missions
Game story
Turn based multiplayer
Players can arrange matches with other players online
They will assemble their fleets for battles
They can move ships for a limited time each turn
Augmented reality and geolocation
Players can find nearby players and engage in battles
Battles can be presented in the player’s environment (room, office, etc)
Crafting and graphic overhaul
Better environments and new modular 3D objects
Players will assemble their own ships and weapons with specific features
There will be common space stations with hangars
Realtime multiplayer
Several players can battle at the same time without taking turns
Groups of players can form factions with custom banners
Factions can build their own space station
Exploration and trading
Stellar objects (stars, planets, moons, asteroids) can be exploited for resources
Items can be build with raw materials
Players can exchange and buy/sell items
Space stations can be relocated between star systems
Colonization and strategy
Players can create buildings on stellar objects
There will be buildings for production, defense, habitation, and more
These can destroyed by ships or captured by spies
Factions can build ground bases with high security measures
Let me know your opinions on this project. Cheers!
Don't have a device which can run it but just looking at the video, why is the ship at the bottom of the screen, just looks a bit odd.
Hi! The first version has this space-shooter style, but will add a first-person/cockpit view in further releases. Does it sound fine? 🙂
Gave it a spin for a few minutes on my LG G3 and it seem to run smoothly and you have done a great job on the graphics, but for me it seemed like the controls were not responsive enough, there was sometimes it wasn't shooting at all. I brought my craft to a fullstop and for some reason I couldn't shoot, and because of the shooting sometimes I ran into an asteroid because the shots wouldn't kill it quick enough.
You have definitely have a solid platform to work off of to implement those ideas in your other post and I think it would greatly help the game to have missions and story. The flying seemed to work ok, just felt difficult trying to line up the reticle on a asteroid when it was far off.
Thanks everyone for trying Space Wing. People is downloading and playing it, that makes me very happy. Now I want to improve the casual gameplay with space management mechanics and different missions. This is the first update of the new UI:
Main features:
* pixel render with video interference effects (video compression can't show details)
* star map navigation
* animated stellar objects: galaxy, stars, black holes, stellar disc, planets, moons
* animated controls
The casual gameplay in current version 1.x will become a mission in the much larger version 2 of Space Wing. The game is receiving a full rebuild, and will include interstellar wars and trade. You will take care of your empire by extracting planetary resources, building facilities, and conquering stellar objects with your army of drones. And you can also ride one of the different spaceships and take control of the events by completing missions such as orbital defense, fighting space corsairs, infiltrating into the colonies and more!
