The full retest of the third campaign is now done. The minor issues that were found have been fixed, and I have also spend some time working on the more serious issues, and most of these have been resolved too. There were also issues with players entering and leaving the ship without being properly configured, […]

The testing of the third campaign is continuing to go well. I have run into a few minor bugs, which were fixed, and I also made some small improvements to the campaign as well. There was one more serious bug that I found with the AI navigation system, but this was also fixed. It turned […]

I also added in new functioning main and secondary guns, and new projectiles, for these ships. This took some time to do, but it worked quite well. There […]

The shield effects in particular work quite well. I also had to make some changes to the code to […]

I have finished the early prototyping for all of the missions in the third campaign of the game! This is a major step forward! I had some last minute issues and bugs, but these were fixed relatively quickly. I had some issues with guis and raycasting, and I added a simple concept for adding dialogs […]
