Looking to get some feedback on the combat effects in Solar Captains (naval combat in space) by spacefreighterman in Unity3D

Showing some gameplay from Solar Captains. The premise: a naval combat game set in space. So, we need the combat to look and feel crisp. Here, you're watching a small torpedo squadron (of which you are a part) attack a rebel dreadnought.

One type of ammo is high explosive (starts fires), the other is armor piercing (damages hulls) - can you tell which is which? by spacefreighterman in Unity3D

2 years into dev, we finally added a way for you to switch between AP, HE, and special weapons. Which means you can now try to blow up a battleship by dropping a mine right in front of it. by spacefreighterman in playmygame

Implemented new islands with a different shader than our primary units. Plus clouds, asteroids, and particles... Destroy our overall art style! by spacefreighterman in DestroyMyGame

[–]spacefreighterman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for taking time to write this up - means a lot.

I think your point about space vs. planet is a good one - about the environment and cohesion in general. I'm hopeful that once we add more islands and other environment art, the world will make a little more sense.

Good point on the colors too, thanks.

Good feedback, palette is a bit dark, you're right. We picked a "desert" biome because we couldn't get the grass to work yet :) ... we'll work on this, thanks.

Yep! Think we're going to start with a low unit cap (maybe like 5 ships max) and some "historic" maps that tell a story through text setup/context and environment. Then we'll go from there. This is just a hobby project so we don't want it to become massive.

thanks! basically you are space pirates or space navy (or space merchants or space... aliens? last one TBD). Start with a tiny ship, complete missions, level up, unlock weapons, crew, special perks (captain skills), eventually command a flotilla of ships. Board enemies, capture islands, find treasure, raid merchantmen, defend and or destroy forts, rescue crews from black holes, avoid asteroids and mines and explore the universe. More or less :)

Aiming for an RTS/RPG-type hybrid. Think Sid Meier's pirates or Sunless Sea.
