It turned out that improving flight physics is really worth it actually

Massively overhauling flight dynamics, this is either going to be the greatest waste of time ever or the greatest decision I ever made

Sorry for the absence, real life got in my way... Though I did make some recent progress, mainly in sound, improved enemy AI, and spawning mechanics. Improved smoke trails and missile effects too.

Added mouse aim. Until now the game was really only comfortably playable with a gamepad or HOTAS. Now it's got a very familiar mouse steering!

Even though I think this is a Very Bad Idea, I spent a day throwing together a prototype. It's an ultra-basic Ace Combat style flight model with an ultra-basic rendition of a radar. However to target the radar (and notionally use an AMRAAM) you need to manually cursor lock while flying.

New YouTube upload! I've remastered my Air Combat retrospective! In this updated version, I went through the original script and adjusted things as necessary, and the gameplay is no longer stretched out and uncomfortable to look at. youtu.be/aYIKg0LI_ZE?...

Experimental urban destruction. There's some stuff I need to polish, but its surprisingly performant for what it is. That being said, doing any sort of real time mesh editing is a pain in the ass and I nearly blew my brains out twice trying to do this. It works tough and I'm okay.

Played Tom Clancy’s HAWX for the first time today. It’s fine I guess? It’s both doing too much mechanics-wise with the ERS and pilot aid, and doing too little with the idea of an arcade flight shooter at the same time. Voice control is insane though ngl

Absolutely fucking ridiculous experiments being done with my (heavily WIP) city generation tool. The final game probably won't feature any urban environments like this, for starters I think evil wizard towers new york looks quite ugly. but it's pretty fun to see what I can make.

added more cinematic camera stuff like a pilot view, also testing out a new method for city generation since the previous OSM integration felt cheap and honestly hard to control.

when making the model for the rocket pod I used this image as my primary reference and I giggled good because I swore it said "BOOB8ASSY" on the side so I just straight up wrote "boob ass" on the actual launcher.

Cannon mechanic testing! I turned the hit particle effect and damage way up for this test, so this may look a bit goofy
