Outer Horizon

A procedurally generated open-space game including endless variations of spaceships which will allow you to change individually the wings,tails,engines,cockpits creating your own ships. There will be some standard classes like light fighter heavy fighter ships battleships etc. The nebulae are fully realistic and you can fly directly into them. Thought I should mention it cause it took me quite some time to figure out a code which would act like this.

 

I like the ideas, if you can actually deliver on all of them. Also there's already a game called Edge of Space.

 

Oh doh . Thanks for pointing out the name. Now I need to think a new one...And I kinda liked that!
Currently I am finishing the faction system...Turns out to be complicated since the I am making it with Lists and they bring sometimes null references when I make changes at the MonoDevelop.

 

Here are a couple of ship variations. There are not many yet about 3 parts for each wing,engine,cockpit,main bodys for all classes but ofcourse i am planning to make at least 20 for each with maximum of 100!

 

Yeah, Edge of Space seems to be more fitting for this game than this Edge of Space.

 

Is there any gameplay yet or just visuals right now?

 

I will upload a video as soon as I can but dont expect anything interesting yet. Yesterday I was going to start the stations script and while I was creating some station parts at the Maya it crashed loosing all of my progress so I was kinda dissapointed...

 

Space Horizon or Edge of Infinity (since space IS infinite)

 

That's some very nice names actually Thank you!

 

Here is a video of the current state of the project. I like to highlight that there are MANY corrections yet to be added not majors but many. Also there are a lot of things not shown like all the variations of ship,space stations and warpholes as well and I use cheats so I can travel faster. If you like to propose any ideas feel free. Sorry for the quality.

 

We don't know for sure that space is infinite, but it might as well be considering that galaxies are spreading apart at a faster and faster rate, meaning we may never get to another galaxy (unless we develop some sort of FTL engine).

On a side note, some names i thought of:

• Outer Edge
• Stellar Expanse
• Cosmic Horizon
• Galactic Horizon

You could also mix some of the words above to create a different name.

 

Looks like you've already made great progress. I hope to see some planets or asteroids sometime. Would be cool if you did planets like in Freelancer (basically load a new scene), but also let us fly around on those planets (at a slower speed of course).

 

That is how exactly it will be Crykask! Freelancer was the reason I started this. I was always looking for a game like freelancer until i decided I should make one and try to make a better version of it if possible!

 

Just a little update fully functional Nebula asteroid fields. Now with some models I will create different kind of fields from long sharp stationary asteroids to spherical traveling ones. The awesome thing is that it does not cost performance at all with fully rigidbody and mesh colliders working! Also the type of the material will determine the loot from the asteroids. Fire will drop Iron Sulfur Ice will drop water and other chemical elements used in trading.
