Phoenix Game Development

The next goal that I have been working on is the addition of several new enemy types for the third campaign of the game. These are almost completely done. I have been able to mostly reuse code from other NPC and enemy types, but there are quite a few unique elements to these AI enemies […]

Both of the capital ships that I am adding to the game have been modelled, and textured. I used a combination of static textures and repeating textures. 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 […]

I have finished texturing the new fighter craft, and I have set them up in unity. The textures are relatively simple, since they will only be visible from a distance, however they do look quite good. 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 […]

Almost all of the work on the third campaign is done. I spent most of the week on Mission 9, this was one of the most complex missions, because it uses Wave Function Collapse to create a dynamic maze for the player to fly through. This turned out to be a lot easier than I […]

I have finished the 8th mission out of the 10 missions in the third campaign. This one was relatively easy, but there were still some new mechanics that I had to add involving gravity vectors, jetpack velocity, and walking on 3D objects. Walking on 3D objects is an issue I have struggled with before. I […]

I have now finished 7 of the 10 or so missions that will be in the third campaign in Spiritus Astrum. I am still working with simple programmer art, and I have not added all of the story triggers, etc, etc, but I am making good progress. I have made improvements to the NPC’s and […]
