Already on it, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way how to manage the whole turrets in a simpler way than telling every single one what to do...

>>10476
Treat it as a single object. More performance, less fun. You'll lose the abbility for different dmg etc.

>>10476

This turns into Battlefleet Gothic? Unexpected!

>>10481

Inquisitrix's order other people to drive for them.

I wouldn't stoup to an astropath level._.

>>10478
Worked out that one. Had a few problems finding the stage from inside the turret class (stupid AS3), but now I can just place them where I want and they know what to do...

...except now I have to figure out how to stop their shots from rotating along the turrets...though I guess that sorta solves my homing missile-problem.

>>10485
Are your "bullets" entities of their own or a derived from your turret class?

If they are, did you consider to create their own class, with e.g. inherited firing angle ?

Also, question out of curiosity: Do you plan to base your collision detection on the actual bullet graphic or do you use coordinate checking with animation following suit?
(the later would allow for pre-determined target collision (so the computer would know what hits (and therefore which animation to display) before the actual frame it happens), but depending on the type of game you plan to do, this is probably overkill).

>>10500
Figured out how to separate them from following the turret rotation, yup. All shots now have their own classes, just had to adjust a few things so they know where they come from.

Collision detection: No idea, as of yet.

Oh, and my homing torpedoes are working...

>>10501

Is it possible to assign movement keys to WASD?This game needs to satisfy my MLG needs.

Suggestion:
Movement = WASD
Turrets = Mouse + Leftclick
Strafe Left = Q
Strafe Right = E
Torpedos / Nova Cannon / Release Fighters = Space

I really like the way you implemented broadsides, was about to suggest a behaviour similar to that.
Hats off, ol' chap.

May I also add that the ship graphics are awesome? the style is very BF-Gothic-ish I instantly recognized some ship types. Great details!

>>10506
>>10514
WASD (and QE for strafing) have been added and will be in the next version. I was thinking of using fighters/torpedoes just like shooting...but maybe I'll give every ship it's "special" by hitting the spacebar, I'll have to test that.

Also, fighter/bombers with small, target-seeking cannons firing as soon as they are angled right ^^. Need to give them a timer or something like that, though. Otherwise the screen will be spammed with little fighter crafts...

>>10535

Also here's another suggestion, STABILIZER THRUSTERS

to put the ship into a full stop. Would that be viable?

>>10536
That would be nice. Positioning can get so fiddly.

It wouldn't have to be complicated. Maybe show all "engine glows" for a second and put X and Y movement + turning speed straight to zero? (instead of, you know, calculating which way the ship is going and when showing the neccessary thrusters etc.)
I think it would look believable enogh to just "fire all engines" for a second and put the ship to a stop.

Hm, perhaps I could add another function for decelerating...coming to a full stop after a little while.

Anyways, still getting a few errors when changing ships in the current version. Actionscript 3 seems to retain some of the eventlisteners even though their clips/children have been removed from the stage. I'll have to look into this...

Also: Added a lil cannon/lance thing. Not 100% happy with it yet, but it's a nice start. And I added timers to all turrets, so no more rapid firing (these will probably need some adjustment) and a "ready"-sign for hangars and cannon...

>>10546
This is awesome and you are awesome.

This is getting me in the mood to start up a turn-based BFG game...

>>10546
oh neat... wait... OH MY GOD WHY WON'T IT STOP SPINNING!!! NOOO, TURN LEFT, there we- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOW IT'S SPINNING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!!!!

best thing i've ever played, but the space thing should move with the ship and not be like... uh... constantly moving forward, i mean it looked like barny fief was flying that cruiser

>>10564
Fun fact: No friction in space ;). Once you start accelerating in one direction you need to use thrusters in the opposite direction to stop that movement...in theory, the ships shouldn't have a "top speed", too. But I guess that would be unplayable in this engine...

Then I might as well give you another tip. The girl in white armor, I assume she is in a relaxed state. Now, try and stand like her. First, stand straight up. Then you lean your back backwards abit. After you've done that you lean your head forward.

>wall projection
PROTIP (only applies if you own/have permission to modify the wall): Either paint a black border around, or lay a wide strip of matt black tape (e.g. gaffer tape) around the image. Apparent contrast is surprisingly effective at making the image appear brighter without looking washed out.

If you're willing to cut it to size, blackout curtains(white rubberised fabric) are much cheaper than a dedicated projection screen, and will perform just the same as anything except an actual silver screen.

Still fiddling around with it, though...

Slow, I mean this in the kindest, gentlest way possible, but you have a serious case of sameface going on with a lot of the stuff you draw. We see that you /can/ draw different faces, so why do you seem to default to that one face so much? If you rely on things because they're easy, then your art will develop so much slower.

And you draw the, uh, "mouth-line" wavey all the time, when in reality they seldom are. It looks very strange/uncanny valley.

Sadly, I`m quite aware of this fact. However, this will only truly be remedied after my stay in the isolated mountain monastery of "getting more than 4 hours of sleep a night". Not getting much time for practice these days.

Alright, don't mean to cramp your style. You do draw very boss armor designs/solutions, like that drider armor. And when you put in effort with your practice, like drawing different male faces.
So, keep at it when able.
