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 everybody!

I joined the forums a while back and you guys really renewed my interest in space games! I had started learning how to use the unity game engine about that time and started working on a space game. I want to make a game that just has a lot of those great elements from these games. I've been doing this for a few months now and have almost got a working version of space combat done. It's not 5-star quality or anything but it's a good baseline to start making more advanced features to space combat. What I want to know is if I were to put a demo out, say in two or three months, would anybody be willing to play it and test it and give me feedback? I have several friends who are willing but I want feedback from people that are really passionate about space games too. I don't know when i'll have it to a decent testable point, hopefully soon but when I get there if any one is interested I'd really like people to test it. If you have any questions or are interested post here! Thanks guys! 😀

Well what kind of game is it first of all? (action/shooter, RPG, turn based etc)

I'm sure if you put up a demo a lot of people would grab it and try it out.

As Fstyle suggested you might want to put up some detail or screen shot first.

Hey cidmodder

I think there is always people interested in giving any game a spin and giving feedback. So when you have something you think is ready to demo just make a nice official post (hopefully with game title) and provide a link or I can make a folder in the download area for you and you can upload it there. I look forward to testing your game and hope you get to complete it to your liking.

Well the end result would be a combination but i supposed it would be closest to an action/shooter. i would have ground based combat and space based. I want to have ships you can walk around in and even board with soldiers and take them over. There would be an open ended setting where you would just gain ranks (not sure how yet) and as you move up you get access to new things and can eventually give commands (an rts element to it). There would also be a more linear story mode of sorts. This is all way down the road though, like several years. All this demo would be, would be some basic models of maybe one or two different types of fighters in a few different environments to test the ai and make sure the ground work is good before moving on to add new features. It wouldn't be anywhere near a finished product just the baseline to see if what I've done is good or if I need to go back to the drawing board.

I'd be interested in giving it a spin.
