BlockShip Wars

[ChAdams]

I've been working on this project since Christmas, it's a physics based multiplayer RTS where you design and build your ships. The engine is driven by chipmunk, v8, sfml, opengl, and raknet.

Latest gameplay video:

This game will be playable on Windows, OSX, and Linux.

Feedback welcome - Thanks!

Oooh. Looks neat. How do the ship controls work? Will there be a playable soon?

[ChAdams]

To move the ship you right click when the ship is selected and it moves to that point. It calculates the angle and thrust power for each thruster on the fly in order to send the ship to the correct place, and force is applied to each the center of each thruster appropriately

I hope to have a playable pre-alpha out in under a few weeks, still need to add a few gameplay items (asteroids, teleport bombs, shields), and build a match finding/nat punch server on my VPS before that though.

However if you want to try it out sooner, I can email you the latest build and we can have a game over the internet. The more testing I can do the better.

I've got a pre-alpha along with the game manual, news, and other media up here:

for anyone who wants to try it out

Yeah let me tell ya, BlockShip Wars? Worst. Game. Ever. I heard the music is gonna suck.

[slembcke]

Oooh. I forgot to try out the demo, and there is an OS X version. Perfect.

Also... Do you guys know each other or something? That's a strange amount of sarcasm to use as an inside joke. :p

[ChAdams]

Well if Zamaster says the music is going to suck and the game is bad, since the music will actually be awesome (as it will be made by Zamaster) I can only assume that he means the game is awesome as well

I know is old thread but - its great!
I really like it! If you will be interested I could create a nice 3d graphic in blender for your game

@wojtek, sorry I missed your reply, I'll let you know when I need some art help if you're still interested.

I just released the alpha version, after over a year of not releasing any updates. I've been putting a lot of work into, but somehow became afraid of releasing things and so didn't for quite some time.

The game is on itch.io now:

Here's the Alpha trailer:

And some media/screenshots:
