Designing enemies that work in 3D space is a new one for me... To the whiteboard!  |

 I've got to be delusional. You're making a Star Fox style rail shooter? HELL YES! I expect all sorts of branching paths based on how well you do in missions and lots of clever and/or cheesy quips throughout the game. Man, if this is half as good as Star Fox 64, I'll be replaying it for years.

 Keep your expectations in check at least a little bit. This is my first full Unity game, so it won't be the most elaborate thing. Mostly focusing on making a fun 3d shooting experience. Haven't yet decided what the ultimate scope of the project will be. I've got another gif. Not all that much changed since the last time, but I've got some new tree models and tweaked the visuals a bit.

Keep your expectations in check at least a little bit. Yeah, sorry, I can't help it. As great as Star Fox Adventures was, there hasn't been a "real" Star Fox game since SF64. In all seriousness, though, branching progression would be awesome. Oh and I like the style.  |

I've been considering the plot/theme of the game, which will inform enemy design. The problem I had was that the prototype involved fairly high speeds and a lot of fog, which was great for dodging and weaving around trees, but didn't work well with firing at enemies that were flying at you. I figured that any enemies that I had would have to move along with the player to a certain extent. So I figured instead of having the game be about an assault on some sort of base or something, it will follow your daring escape after said base assault, with enemy forces hot on your tail. (They will of course still fly in front of you more often than not, or else you wouldn't be able to hit them, but they will move roughly along with you, and sometimes to the side and behind you, so there's also a chance for trying to ram enemies with your ship.

Thanks! Yeah, this is a lot of new territory for me, so I'll probably make a fair amount of posts like that as I figure things out.

The IndieDB link is broken.
Other than that, it's looking really good.

Thanks, guys! Made a second enemy type. An enemy that leaves behind a trail of mines.  |

Wow this is awesome! I loved SF 64 so much, and was so sad when the newer ones failed to do ANYTHING like the original for me. I'd love to do a video of this game in action when you are ready as an Indie Preview Video on my YouTube channel, www.YouTube.com/WeiseGuy91. Maybe we can discuss this via PM when you feel comfortable showing it off? I have just under 600 subs right now, but I'm sure that base will grow fast. |
