one of my friends and i thought of mixing Descent and captain forever.
we ended up just working on a java clone because one of our teachers suggested it. It had multiplayer, but i managed to break it.

Somehow I don’t see how ‘March (possibly April) 2011’ could be “frighteningly proximous.”

Captain Forever with gravity is a nice idea … *g*

I’ve got a rough prototype of “Gunship Forever” running under Silverlight using Farseer Physics ;).
Project is dormant for at least 1/2 year now … a lot of other work to do, but would like to see it realized.

Farbs says: “Your reminder about inertial dampening has given me a wonderful/terrible idea.”

I thought you looked at turning off friction before and you said that was a disater, maybe you should make it just an option in the menu for a hardcore mode?

besides lack of friction wouldn’t be so tricky with gravity and maybe a few objects with friction like spaceship debrie, gas clounds and maybe even planetary atmospheres?

Hah, I just read your tweet about inertial dampening.

Yeah, I’ve played around with a frictionless space shooter. Turns out it is not as cool an idea as it sounds like it might be.

looks cool, but the only thing is that how would you do 3rd person piloting in a 3d environment? what if you couldn’t see around ur own ship?

Now that i think about CF a little more, 3D isn’t going to be all that awesome. Multiplayer would, definitely, but not 3D. Though multiplayer would be a tad bit hard to implement though, What would the goal of the players be? How will they be able to get parts (As well as how to avoid fights over who gets the part)? How can they export their designs? Will there be a lobby? Will there be different types of CF Game modes? How will it go with the storyline? These questions will only be answered AFTER you finish Jameson!

To be honest, i dont think the 3d will work well. Leave it as a simple (or complicated) 2d game, and you’ll see success. I would MUCH prefer multiplayer forever than 3d forever, IMO.

… It only thinks it’s happening.

I really can’t believe this is (isn’t) happening.
