I'll have a progress update out in a few days

[Stellar Tactics]

I know I've been really quiet over the last month. I've had my nose to the grind-stone and I'm really happy with the progress that's been made on space combat. I'm eager to share that with you and will put up a video that covers how everything works. This is one of largest systems left to code in the game.

The space combat system is complex, includes multiple independent turret systems, mount points, directional shields, energy systems, targeting, range, collision and many other factors. These all need to combine into a system that is fun, flexible and intuitive.

I would like to also say that while I've personally been focused on space combat, work has been taking place on other parts of the game. I've been working with a very talented 3D artist and level designer who has been working on procedural level sets and models for the game. I'll post some screenshots and info along with the progress update.

I'll get an update out in a few days. Thanks so much for your patience! I'm am here, I'm working hard and I hope you all enjoy what comes next ;)

Did EVE influence the combat as much as it appears to have influenced the general space movement?

[Stellar Tactics]

Yes and the progress update and combat first-look I'll put out in a few days will show that. Some will like that, others may not. We will see.

Neat! Also I'm glad to hear you've brought other people on to the team.

Thanks produno and all! - I have a few code tweaks to make and then I'll start recording video. I should have the progress update out tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
