Animations as indicators of strength

May 10

Hello! I hope you've had a great week!

This week, I'm excited to share some work-in-progress animations with you. We've been updating the animations for the SMG, assault rifle, and shotgun.

One challenge we've faced is differentiating the SMG and assault rifle, as they can often seem too similar. Our current strategy is to make the assault rifles more powerful but less accurate, and capable of burst firing. The SMG, on the other hand, will be more agile with a higher firing rate, though it will be slightly less powerful. As for the shotgun, a classic in FPS games, remains highly effective at short ranges but less so at longer distances.

Shotgun! (can you say shotgun without sounding like the announcer in Metal Slug? It's impossible!)

Why not PVP or PVP lobbies ?

May the fourth be with you!

May 4

It's May the 4th, the international Star Wars day!

Jump Ship draws inspiration from many different sources, including Star Wars. When friends ask us what kind of co-op game we're building, we sometimes describe Jump Ship as the ultimate Chewbacca and Han Solo experience—the duo that somehow always makes it through tight situations. That's the feeling we want you to have when playing the game with your friends!

So, what have we been up to? We've been reworking parts of the ship combat, the combat station, and player ship damage. I know this probably doesn't make much sense for you right now, since you can't test the game, but we'd like to give you some behind the scenes regardless :)

Please note, recorded directly from dev's computer in a dev level. Nothing is final!

General combat

Depending on how close the crosshair is to the enemy ship's sweet spot (indicated by the small dot moving ahead of the ship) you can get critical, normal and glancing hits. They produced 3x, 1x, 0.5x damage respectively. Tracking enemy ships and consecutively doing critical hits kills much faster.
Not all things has a sweet spot (stationary targets, and very large ships, in those cases all hits defaults to normal hits). We can set that up manually per ship/target.
AI shields now regenerate after a given amount of time incentivising use of shield penetrating weapons, or boarding if you lack those types of weapons. We currently lack indications of this in the HUD. (As this is more of a feature to incentivise use of combat station or boarding regeneration doesn't happen when playing solo).
AI Corvettes no longer shoot long range missiles when downed.
AI Corvettes has a further orbit distance to ensure that players can't attack the corvette sitting still, they'd have to move towards it and chase it to take it down.
For ship to ship combat we now have a damage counter that accumulates damage up to 2 seconds and then clears to better indicate the amount of damage dealt by your different weapons.

Pilot

Auto aim crosshair no longer snaps to target. You will have to steer the playership crosshair to enemy ships to hitting them.

Combat station

Combat station now supports up to two sockets with larger cannons or other components.
We replaced the old autocannon with a railgun. A powerful insta-hit attack that penetrates enemies shields and damages the hull directly.
We reintroduced a active ship shield that can be triggered from the combat station that keeps damage to 0 for a set amount of time.
You can swap between items using numericals (1-3). You can install two railguns, or two shields if you'd like.
Auto aim crosshair no longer snaps to target. You will have to properly aim crosshair to enemy ships to hitting them.
When aiming using the railgun turret, the pilot will see a laser pointer indicating where you are aiming to help the pilot assist the combat station.

Player ship damage

Instead of gradually damaging components and damage points we now trigger "events" (read internal explosions) at intervals where several things may break simultaneously.
These events are somewhat concentrated around areas of the ship and will be more varied than before (some damage points where never picked etc.).
Damage point types cycle, so getting same type of damage points breaking down over and over should be much less likely.

This is the way.

Effects and animation updates

Apr 19

Please note: everything is a work in progress and subject to change. The stuff recorded here is captured directly from devs editors so it's not optimized in any way :D

Hey all, hope you're having a nice Friday!

This week we've been focusing on some effects and animations. We have more stuff in the works, but are not ready to show those yet!

We tweaked the jump animation for the player ship and enemies. The player ship now has a bit more cinematic feel to it:

And the enemies (Comity) jumps in a similar fashion, since they're using similar tech like the players (Atirans)

We've also re worked some of our backdrops and added some nice god rays. Looks a bit more epic if you ask me! :D

The guns got some love too! With some fancier surface and muzzleflash effects

Aaaaand sometimes things just break completely...ːsteamfacepalmː

Was excited, but AI voices/text isn't necessary

"The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: Pre-generated voice cloning/text to speech where it makes sense creatively." Hire someone. Pay them.

Please increase co-op to 6+ !!!

Please increase the co-op to greater than 4, I can't tell you the number of times over the the last decade we pass on games that are only 4 player co-ops.

Is there offline no internet connection required single player mode?

I couldn't help but notice that in the store page for the game there was a mention of single palyer; although I must ask, does this mean the game will be fully playable offline with AI companions -or by yourself-? Thanks in advance.
