Phoenix Game Development

The testing is continuing to go very well. I have tested travelling between solar ysystems, travelling long distances, saving and loading the game, and landing on planets, and so far, there have been only minor bugs. I am now working on making improvements to the navigation systems, the UI’s were very cluttered. They are still […]

I have started working on more extensive tests of the project. I am focusing on the space-sim this time as well as the planet-side sims. So far, there are very few bugs, and the bugs that I am finding are being fixed quickly. I also intend to add several improvements to the UI’s and interface […]

There were a few minor issues that I discovered, and fixed, but a lot of these issues were pre-existing bugs. There were some minor issues with player position […]
