Tachyon Storm (Work in progress)

Hi,

I wanted to show you some screenshots of the games that is underway.

The first version was developed in Blitzbasic, now I wear it with Unity.

The screenshots are from a fight between IA.

I will try some videos for the next time.

Sorry for my english ...

 

Wow a good looking 3D space shooter, this looks really cool. Models are well done, as well as the textures. I love the lava type asteroid and the shield affect.

 

How did you get that shield effect? It's very nice!

 

I used a shader that I found on the wiki or in the forum (I d'ont remenber) with a transparent texture.
Seeks shield or force field.

Very nice looking game there. The art style is strong. I wonder though, the smoke trails seem out of place in the space-genre. Other than, pretty snazzy!

 

Below is a webplayer of the demos from which the screenshots were taken

Each execution will normally be different because there is no pre-defined paths. And decisions are drawn by a percentage of chance to perform an action.

Wow, pretty intense start!
Art style is very, very nice : )
Just smoke and explosions that could use a bit more work, other stuff is just ferfect : )

 

Bien joué Icare.

For the smoke trails, I'm on it

Awsome! Now if only I could shoot from a turret while being flown around... But I guess its just a demo, to show off the visuals, right?

Ran very smooth and also loaded extremely fast considering the amount of textures and models. Good job!

 

Yes, for now it's just a demo of AI that fights. There is still the party to avoid the missiles with decoys.

Next time I hope to show the attack of a frigate being escort ...

Otherwise I changed the smoke effects by a simple trail with a halo ....

I just changed the smoke effect by a simple trail with a halo and fades to white.
