#followfriday dear all ... just an update here - this week was spent revamping a huge part of the engine to be C++17 compliant because it'll be used by the new C++Builder 12 CE which we'll be upgrading our tools to use in the near future.

#screenshotsaturday ok ... shields ... which sci-fi game is complete without shields yeah? In the Foresight universe, shields are bubble-shaped so that they automatically all components n emplacements.
But turrets can fire OUT of it.

Non-canon btw. Shields aren't supposed to appear THAT soon on these ships. But hey ... enemy anti-fighter turrets can fire at u but u can't hit them at all - at least until the shields are down.

#screenshotsaturday OK, this is a preview on how playing as a turret feels like. I know we aren't the first game with turret controls (duhz) but it's a secondary gameplay when reinforcements aren't available.
Oh yeah the flak hit sphere is pretty big.

#WIPThursdays #WorkInProgress Interior "cockpit" view. Ammunition matters. If this is proximity fuze flak that fighter wouldn't have stood a chance.
Still need to work on the UI display and other issues. Soon.

#mondaymotivation here's a temporary placeholder for a 4-turret "chicago piano" which is an anti-fighter turret. Not a turret u'd wanna fly against head-on.

No #screenshotsaturday this week. Working on completing the turret framework:
1) Barrels can be taken out individually
2) Each barrel recoils independently
3) Switching between turrets and UI display

#screenshotsaturday! Added recoil camera shake (that doesn't affect distant objects) & hover controls (up/down) - that's the 4th axis u can control ur fighter apart from pitch, yaw, roll. Now u can just face down and hover up to do an attack run

#screenshotsaturday Therer're tiny systems built into the game that helps the player silently. Often, aiming at small turrets tend to be hard due to the fighter being too maneuverable; hence the FINESE aim mode. Watch and find out!

ok, I'm going to put it here - my input polling is done via a thread that polls at a FIXED INTERVAL. Turning V-sync off won't make input more sensitive.
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev
Please - turn on V-sync. Rendering so many fps (ie, 500fps) without DLSS or FSR turned on is insane.

Used both "sushi" and "threading" approach. One to make detailed sections, the other to thread the entire song with bass only.
