Unity Engine? Looks good. How difficult is it to learn?

if you’re a professional software developer then its ultra easy

I got the Unity engine a while ago but I reached the conclusion that game making is not for me, I just have no idea how to use it. The fact that I know zero coding in any programming language doesn’t help either hehe.

I wish you the best of luck with your project mate. It looks fantastic !!

Im planning online pew pew in 2 weeks or less, this will be a simple connect to zone server app with player name and predefined ship selection on start, after this test it will be clear if Unity can maitain all this

hud under construction, target crosshair yet to implement

[HunterKiller]

GG. Looks good.

[massdriver]

initial hud in action

standalone client/server is here http://www.sendspace.com/file/6nc5rb

F1 opens sort of console, type /zs to start local zone server and connect to it, I recommend to start server separately from client

notes:

-> starting zone server may crash, but if console says that Zone server started then all ok
-> sometimes netclient crashes on startup since it cant bind to socket, restart later
-> may contain bugs, but you can always look into Data folder/output_log.txt for crash data

contains raven talon and rha wraith ships, both have almost same stats and 2 guns

this is a combat techdemo, where you can shoot each other

updated ice asteroid shader, most likely you want to see fullres here

shadows+bloom+AA as post fx

[massdriver]

while implementing base docking feature, thought that ice was not too ice and revised ice shader

it looks badass when there’s lot of them and huge while sweeping around them, too bad could not record due to low fps so there’s only one for you to observe

Yep, with this station, ship and small planet feels like spirit of good old FL

that base is actually dockable, but yet no internals

[r4zor]

Looks damn good Keep it up!

[Kuze]

Oh what an eye-candy. Great work so far. The HUD reminds me of the Freespace one. There is huge potential in this, keep up the good work.

[HunterKiller]

Wow, coming along nicely. Good work.
