[Game] Flying Arcade-Sim Project

[dimebagplan]

Arcade Flying game project
Modern Air Combat

Hi guys, i am currently working on a Flying Arcade-Simulation (Modern Air Combat) with Unity (Unity is a 3D Game Engine).

Actually, the development is doing quite well, i have already made some basic aircraft controls, with a smooth camera following the aircraft, and a basic use of the terrain creation and collisions.

As i focus on the programming, i do not have much time to work on the 3D models (and also not the talent).

If any of you have already made some modern 3D aircraft and would like to share them, i would be more than happy to use them on the project.

Some more explanations below

Objective
- 1 Aircraft selection
- Behind view, Camera View
- Make an Aircraft Fly on a 3D environment (Arcade controls and physics).
- Lock targets and shoot missiles.

Plus (If the basic objective run smoothly without bugs).
- Change the physics to make more simulation oriented physics.
- Cockpit view
- More aircrafts
- Multiplayer
- And more.

Before switching to unity3d i was working with Flash.

Then with Unity3D

Hello again !
Just to say that a modeler is on the way, someone on youtube made a F22 for me.
I will be able to test and complete the engine more with this model.
I will try my best to update this post with new work in progress screenshots.

But still, some modelers are very welcome to create the runway, airbase with hangar, trees, mountain etc...
I surely ask to much, i know that, i am ready to do it myself if needed, but i would like to focus on the programming right now.

Again, if you have some low polygon model that are unused (Aircraft, Hangar etc.) i will be more than happy to use them !
See you.

I can possibly do some modelling for you in between commercial projects, depends on my schedule though :)

Cobra 6

[dimebagplan]

Thank you Cobra6, i am very happy to hear that !
I have seen your models on your blog, and your Tank are really well done !

Ah reminds of the acecombat 2 game in PS1 back then.
Good luck with the project. :)

Bingo !!
In fact, Ace combat 2 was the game that make fall in love with modern aircrafts.
And this is when i discovered the Su-35 (By far my favorite aircraft of the game).
So when i saw your Su-30 model, it give me prickle :D

In fact, when start to develop the Flash Version, my ultimate reference was Ace Combat 2, but now i use unity, and some more beautiful graphics can be rendered.


As i said, the first phase will be very Arcrade oriented. So my ultimate reference series are Ace Combat.

If i succeed and people want more real phisics and more sim-like gaming, my reference will be games like Aero Dancing/Elite, Energy Airforce etc..

But i am not new to game development so i know the huge work in perspective, so i will more than happy to achieve at least a cool playable demo in an arcade style.

Cheers !

Indeed, Ace Combat series always give the best arcade story gaming about jet fighters but lack of realistic.
Back in console days (PS2) Aero Elite/Dancing was the most realistic flight simulator ever made for consoles.
For PS1/PSX, the Wing Over 2 was the best at their time, but ofcourse its no match against today flightsim in pc (such as lock on, etc..)
Good old times.

Some more screenshots !
It start to be quite enjoyable :D

Here is what have been done so far.

- 2 views (Camera View, Behind View).
- Some of the HUD informations added. (Need more work).
- Basic Aircraft Controls.
- Basic Seamless/Endless background system implemented.

I hope i can release a demo of this very soon, so you guys can check it out.
Will be playable directly in your browser if you download the Unity Web Player :D

[dimebagplan]

Sorry for the lack of news !
We decided to report the release of the demo because we thought that it was a little bit too early to show anything interesting to the player.

The development is going extremely well and we made very good progress.
I will post some new screenshots tonight.

- HUD nearly complete.
- More developed aircraft controls. (Speed up + break). 60%
- Small Map created (Square map). 90%
- Lock enemies : 10%
- Fire missile on target : 80%
- F22 Raptor 80%
- F16 30-40% ?
