I'm just starting, but I have to show this to someone.
It's a SC-like game, based on the Melee mode for the most part. I can't even reveal the title, because the title would say it all.
I will not use SC ships because, well, that wouldn't make much of an original game. I will try to deliver all new ship models and races, so I hope I will be forgiven if I steal few ship abilities from SC. Perhaps I'll include one ship model from SC as an Easter Egg.
I'm trying to make the background really vibrant, with several star layers and translucent nebulas. Oh yes, the zooming is continous.
I'm working alone, but there is this guy helping me with OpenGL. Anyway, someone will prolly join the project eventually, but I finished games alone before.
I'm finally got the engine set up. Few nitpicks need to be done there, and after that, the hardest work comes...ship design.
