Title: Space exploration sandbox project
Post by: MrNothing on October 27, 2014, 06:06:33 AM
Hi there!

About the project:

I am working on a procedural exploration game (multiplayer) with planetary level precision.

The game concept itself is not defined yet, I know there will be resources collecting, and that players will be able to build their own space base/ship.

I am focusing on the engine at the moment, it is close from being completed, I will then start implementing gameplay features.

About the engine:

I am using Unity for the client, I only used custom shaders.
For the server side, I use my own c++ server that is based on winsocket.

Medias:

Here is a video of the latest prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lja5qGbkPmY

Looks awesome! What are your sci-fi inspirations? I'd guess Star Trek?

Hi, actually, I am not defined on doing this on a sci-fi context, I am thinking off something like Miyasaki (with floating castle like spaceships)

A scenery like this really inspires me:

Nothing is sure about this project yet, and I am always open to suggestions.

Hi there, time for some news!

I finished the shader for the sun, it is now an actual element in the game instead of a simple flare:
