Apoc

The steam page is finally up! I'm excited to announce that I've partnered with @micro_prose to publish the game. Checkout the trailer. If you could wishlist and share the game that would mean the world to me. Thanks for all your support so far. Steam page in the comments

2 more days #gaming

@BertrandLe74343 Thats the goal eventually but I havent implemented it yet.

@apoc_dev What if pilots get hurt there's a chance they get scars ?

Porting over the character editor to use the same auto-generating UI system as the scenario editor so its easier to update/maintain. Also hooked it up to the campaign so you can edit your crew and it gets saved/loaded.

meet the squad

Added the ability to rotate components and refactored weapon placement.

@alchemickalgame Congrats on the release!

Alchemickal is now available on Steam and itch! Thank you for your continued support, and have fun!

Generic instanced renderer with frustum culling for generated scattered points. Here I'm just using debug cubes. Next I need to setup the controls for picking objects to render then I can make biome/planet configs.

@GoldCageStudio Objects in the sky can be any gameobject / particle system. For example here is a cube.

@apoc_dev I'm on a similar quest; great work with those colors. By the way, are the celestial bodies mesh objects, or are they integrated into the skybox?

Better fog that blends based on the height and sun direction instead of just being a single color.

Got the generic scattering node setup and with ingame ui. This will be used to generate trees/prefabs/details on the map. You can use other scatter layers or masks to as rules for spawning on that point. For example you might not want trees to spawn within 5 meters of rocks.

@bagusindrayana_ haha i was about to build something similar

playing with three js to recreate this nerv map from neon genesis evangelion, don't know yet whether it can actually be used for real data visualization

@pacman101371702 That's the plan. And yes.

@apoc_dev I hope you reuse some of these systems in other games Any plans for animals or people?

Fixed the skybox and atmosphere setup. No longer using a weird dome so now celestial bodies are always correctly blended into the atmosphere based on their position in the sky.

So nice getting this running in real time.

@klimbi123 @EracuStudios "add coop or i'll make your life hell"

@EracuStudios Depends on the negative review. Some of them are pretty reasonable with valid complaints. "5/10, because of these issues" type of reviews.

Indie devs... What hurts more: negative reviews or having no reviews at all? 😥😥 #indiedev #gamedev

@FrogmanDev @shodanon Looking good

SG553 wip 🛠️

Saving & loading scenarios

@ShMokou Potentially, I always thought it would be cool if needed to run lighter mechs with bigger engines on higher G planets to compensate.

@apoc_dev I have important question. Will game have different gravitational acceleration on different planets?

Cool that the ingame editor works while battles are running.

@mickio1 yes thats the plan

@apoc_dev could this be useful for terrain destruction from artillery perhaps? Or alien worlds shifting and moving as if alive? Maybe even volcano eruptions for some real dramatic end of campaign scenario. Damn feature creep.

Fixed it so entities stick to the surface when changes happen
