Hi, urgent question. What kind of project is this? Are you playing in VR or is that even planned? I just happened to stumble across this video on UA-cam and find it very interesting. It looks great Greetings from Lexx
@@johnsmart1894 i guess that would depend. I have no context of what you are doing with the space setting. Though “Out of Reach” seems relevant because it symbolises the vastness of space.
well i have thought about this, but not yet, i want to release a demo first or a few and see the uptake. there is also the uncertainty of a fund and i dont want to take that on unless there is a a good indicator it will be wanted. just somethings does not sit right with me about taking money off of people and it not get fully delivered.
Looks fantastic. What are you going for here? Hard sci-fi? Action space shooter? Some of the ships "look realistic" with the spin sections and such, others look a bit more typical sci-fi. No worries, just curious.
@FunkThompson well it will be a spacey shooter with fps parts. I wrote a back story. It will be mutli player but as an indy I am thinking of first host your own server. But move to something more sand boxy if the cash is there to invest in the backend infra
I cant really comment on it, the last time i played it was about 5 years ago. i hear there are lots of good things these days, i understand your frustration about how long it has taken them so far. My project wont be anything as polished as theirs lol i dont have 500 mil to blow.
@@johnsmart1894 Not everything needs or should be at SC's level. For very obvious reasons. I love, LOVE what CIG are doing, but it has its problems and shortcomings. That said, how much work is being done on internals for the ships in your game? Will there be much gameplay "out of the cockpit?"
Hi, there will be gameplay out of the cockpit on legs. looking at scenarios for this, i want to avoid ED exploration if i can though, i mean i spent 9 months out in the black in ED and i worked it out you do 9 things, just 9 things in the cockpit, 9 things in the SRV and 9 things now on foot since space legs. not saying something like that wont be there as anything is possible but do i want to spend a few months designing something so boring. i will be doing flying stuff first and add bits to FPS as i go. just have to remember i am one guy, development is not hard but slow.
@@johnsmart1894 Fair. EVA repairs, maybe some derelicts / wrecks to search, sure. Short and to the point would be my recommendation for such, especially for VR.
Hi if you want to see a little more look at this ua-cam.com/video/C81kp5BkGe8/v-deo.html the development is going well but slow as i do not work on it full time just here and there.
@metalheadmobster at some point you will be able to control the larger ships. I am planning the scenario on how it will work. Single player something like RTS...maybe Multilayer well this is why maybe transferring data from different game types can be tricky to keep everything in sync but everything can be solved in time
what reference did you use to set up your flight model to support 6 degrees of freedom? I'm just starting to work on my own project, and could use some guiding help. did you rely on c++ scripting , or did you use blueprints? for reference, I'm using unreal 5.
this is unity so i am using their version of physics, so a ridge body gets force applied depending on the input. unfortunately i don't know enough about UE5 to be able to help you on that one. in unity we use C#
it will be VR at first, to make it 2d requires all of the interactions to be re-written which will take some time, to do 2d is a lot simpler but more to test and debug. on a personal note VR for the flying part takes the experience of flying to another level.
Those designs look really nice. Solo project? Edit: I was gonna mention one of them looks possibly inspired by the Federal Corvette. Saw you do play Elite on your channel. Really cool!
Hi, i cant take credit for those ships i buy them from artists, although i may mod them in blender so it fits the idea in my head. Game Dev has many disciplines, i can do the art work but as i am doing everything i just have to use the wallet dev to get me things i want sometimes. you are right though some of the ships you can see where the artists got the idea from.
@@johnsmart1894 That's great, I suggest you to make a Website for your game so that people can subscribe to any updates that you may release regarding your progress. That's a great way to build a community.
nice work, but maybe if you plan to get this as game later , just announce something bigger don't burn it all on short nonsense videos and get a name for it so ppl can follow your work. maybe one day you will get this project finished good luck.
Hi Cozzyhane, the flying is a script i wrote that can be changed to any spacy ship type thing you want and give it, its own characteristic, I am thinking of publishing the build of the video but there is not a lot you can do with that ship as i have only just started building the systems from it. just so you know even though this is VR it is use mouse and keyboard to fly at the mo while i work on the virtual HOTAS system which is what i am working on now.
well for me when building functions for things it is best to do them small and test. so far the features i have put in i have a plan for them, there are many more but i can add them as i go. it is early in the project at the moment but i will be aiming to release bits of it so people can try and play around. i know it wont be everyones cup of tea but i am not doing it for profit just a bit of fun.
game does not have a name yet just a project name. i was thinking of putting a poll out and see what other people would call it lol for me it is just the project
@@johnsmart1894 how is the gameplay supposed to look like? I run a gaming community and we are into space games and have been looking for something new. We went back and looked at space engineers and this reminded me of it although this looks a lot better visually. Can I read about it somewhere or do you have time to describe what it’s about?
At the mo i am building a site to go over the project and where it will be going from a function point of view. The site is not ready as of yet and i am not working on this full time as I do something else. But in time it will be out. I have written a back story, so some lore, what i would like to do is create scenarios that fit in to that lore. I don't want to create a elite type of feel where some guys poor years of their life in to finding something that is not going to happen but fun scenarios for friends to play. it is a bit early on how i am going to do that. but i tend to develop small chunks at a time. my focus is creating the functions of the ships and player at the moment. Game dev is not hard but slow especially when you are a one man team. it is going to take time, but i plan to release some demos for people to play around with. the one thing i am sure of this is for VR first 2d second.
yooo they are already making Star Citizen 2
SC2, i got time about another 15 years before it goes alpha lol
And it'll still come out before SQ42
@Tactical-Ferret it's called project 43 for a reason
Looking good, will keep an eye on it
Thanks
yoo this looks sick
willing to play the demo once it's out
Thanks for the like.
ur a talented artist, good luck with your project
Thanks but i have to be truthful i did not make the assets i just mod them i pay for them i just put it together in the project with a bit of coding.
Hi, urgent question.
What kind of project is this?

Greetings from Lexx
Looking forward to trying out the demo!
aiming to get something out around xmas but depends on work as i have to move a data center between now and Nov
This was just recommended to me on my YT home page. What is this? It looks sick! Guessing progress towards a game you're making?
@seanlowe7443 yes it is something I am making
@@johnsmart1894im all for it, do you have a name yet?
no name yet just the project a project name, what would you call it?
@@johnsmart1894 i guess that would depend. I have no context of what you are doing with the space setting. Though “Out of Reach” seems relevant because it symbolises the vastness of space.
cool ill add this to the list of possible names.
Hey dude, looks awesome. Let me know if you'd need any audio design or music done!
Thanks! Will do!
Pretty cool! Why don't you start a fund campaign to launch it faster?
well i have thought about this, but not yet, i want to release a demo first or a few and see the uptake. there is also the uncertainty of a fund and i dont want to take that on unless there is a a good indicator it will be wanted. just somethings does not sit right with me about taking money off of people and it not get fully delivered.
@@johnsmart1894 it depends on you...if u have responsibility to deliver then do not worry about it. Think about it
Are these the same spaceship assets that Spacebourne 2 used? The flight model looks very good btw
not sure if spacebourne used them, they are from a artist called CGPitbull he makes some awesome stuff

Very impressive. It only took CiG a few hundred million dollars and 12 years to get to this stage of development.
Not really, no.

i can do the visuals of SC, but i suppose will be like ED but not as big, i am still deciding on how i am going to make the star systems work.
