I’ve been working on a space starter kit for a few days now, just out of boredom and wanting something fun to do.
I used the Unity Free Space Shooter Kit ( Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making )
As well as the free version of the Photon PUN on the assetstore (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making)
It contains everything needed for somebody to start a photon lobby, get into a room with whoever else is playing, and get to action.
I’m making it as simple and easy to set up as I can, Currently there is a Ship Component, a Damage Handler, a Component for Weapons/Turrets, and there will be other components for other subsystems like Shields.
At the moment, I’m not 100% happy with my speed and flight. It just feels slow. But at the same time, its simple and it works, which is really all I’m going for. (more Arcade-y feel)
I took a Fraps of a few minutes of gameplay with me and a second client logged in. It is kind of poor quality, considering I recorded it in 1080. I suppose I didn’t compress it to MP4 right… I will try to make the next video(s) better quality.
I also plan to design an NGUI hud for it later, as an option for those who have it.
I hope you guys like it! I would like to hear some suggestions of generic things that would be nice to have included if this sparks anybodies interest. I had tried some other similar setup’s and I wasn’t too fond of them.
