GDTLancer space game

Chassis made of engines, LOX tanks, powerplant, batteries and plumbing.

Some more tests. p3d.in/7UpVn

#gamedev #spacecraft #b3d

Refining my ship building approach. More simple base frame, more simple internal parts for fast prototyping, and after that this all will be covered by outer frame and panels. Also considering minor asymmetry.

Screenshot 2: this will be the base for a full-size vessel with substantial powerplant and more endurance / rig slots. About 40 meters long.

Screenshot 1: this will be the base for a shorter vessel (one engine and one LOX tank. Engine could be made shorter as well). No LH2 tanks, no fuel cells (or they will be smaller), likely uses solar panels or RTGs. About 20 meters long.

Some progress on the ship. Here is the 3D view: p3d.in/RHm0Q
Still plenty of internal volume to fill up with smaller devices and systems.

Removed detailed lore background, updated all pages · roalyr/GDTLancer-game-design@8cfd57c

Re-iterated on GDD pages. Dropped detailed lore background for the sake of flexibility. It will be more of generic setting than specific lore. Previous iteration was way too constraining on gameplay.

Always liked to play Freelancer in 16-bit color depth, it resulted in this sort of gentle posterization.

Thinking about something like this. Cargo pods on outside rigs when needed.

Big update to section 7: ship modules and design. Most are drafts, but 7.2 and 7.3 are pretty defined at this point and align with my current 3D design.

#gamedev #indiegame #spacegame

And that is without taking into account life-support pods, industrial tools, electronics and so on.

- Linear, tandem, vertical design based on the number of tanks / engines and their alignment.
- Spherical tanks as a variation.
- Variations for LOX plumbing and pump amount as well as arrangement of thereof.
- Number and arrangement of powercores and radiators.

Since it is modular I can already think of a set of variations for the base structure:
- 1, 2, 3 primary engine modules (3 variations for different thrust).
- 1, 2, 3, 4 snd 6 LOX tanks in different spatial configuration.

Some frame work. Still need to stiffen mid section against twisting.

Half of the attacks I was asleep and didn't know they have happened until now. That is how they make us, civilians, easier targets. This happens 24/7 for almost 4 years.

Those tanks should definitely have propellant management devices in them. I don't go that deep into details though, I only need to achieve an aesthetics of engineering plausibility, because the game I am developing is not a simulator.

LOX tanks and plumbing. #gamedev #indiegame #spacegame #spaceship #b3d

I know.

Good thing I have all I need on my phone, and will be able to do gamedev despite everything. Although not sure if I will have enough physical and mental energy.

Another project I am working on - making custom rugged phone case for k750i (and modding it in meanwhile).

A small shoutout to @everspace.game team. I am making all of those things now exactly because I was inspired back then as a kid.

Base mesh for reinforced LOX tank. #gamedev #spaceship #b3d

LOX pumps are done.
#b3d #spaceship #spacegame #укргеймдев

Making a LOX pump-motor assembly. There will be two of them, just need to make the mounting fixture before duplicating. After that - cryotank assembly to hold LOX and then will be moving to a next system.

Oh right, there will be LOX supply system, so technically a hybrid engine?
