PROTOTYPE DOGFIGHT AI

SPACE WANDERER

Prototype of a vast project, and still very early in it's development. I gather in this project all the things I learned so far in my journey on how to be a game developper !

​

The aim is to build a solo Sci Fi story driven space action / adventure / exploration game !

​

It's a big project, too big for a solo dev. My goal is to build a solid prototype, I'll see where I go from there ! This is my most challenging project so far !

​

What is the pitch ?

​

You wake up from a very long sleep, a few hundred years, in a very large futuristic spaceship, among other people like you. You have no souvenirs. Who are you ? Why are you here ? What if you are actually a slave ? Investigate space and time to find out.

​

​

What has been done so far ?

​

Space scene (Flying) :

- Environment design of the main space scene. Post process profil.

- Physics based space flight controller and camera behaviour. Inspired by the game Elite: Dangerous

- Basic AI ennemies like turrets and Flagships.

- Shooting behaviours, Raycast intensive.

- UI (Work in progress)

- Onscreen and offscreen targat canvas.

​

Ground scenes (Walking) :

- Environment design of the capital spaceship, one alien spaceship (WIP) and one exotic world (WIP).

- Character design of the main protagonist. 

- Third person character behaviour and controller

- Camera behaviour

- Shooting manager and behaviour, with guns, blasters and grenades.

- Item and inventory manager

- UI (Work in progress)

- Basic actions and animations like doors, elevators, ladder climbing etc...

​

Global :

- Storyline (WIP)

- Main menu (WIP)

​

​

What needs to be done for the prototype ?

​

- Ennemy fighter AI for dogfights (WIP)

- Save system

- First person perspective in the spaceship (Almost done !)

- Designing a few quests

- Dialogue system

- Quest manager 

- A cinematic to introduce the game

- A tutorial scene to learn gameplay mecanics
