Space Frontiers Pre-Alpha Update (Moddable Godot Online Sci-Fi game)
A little online moddable 3D Godot framework I have been working on.
All game objects and even most UI you see is downloaded from the server and loaded at run-time to allow for lots of game and content customization per community server.
In its current state, it's been working with up to 40+ dynamically simulated WAN connected players while moving around simultaneously at 16tick/s.
I will proceed with the moddable inventory system and create entities that can be picked up, dropped and thrown. That can also be used, equipped, stored and holstered (ie. backpacks, guns, tables with items on them that can be picked up and dropped/thrown).
Then.. improve the graphics of the world and the character models.
Then.. create a nice spaceship map with different rooms.
Then.. add a health system, damage types, death, zombies, gun combat, melee combat and create a little infection zombie gamemode to add early gameplay value and help develop and playtesting.
The game will probably take 1 more year before it's in a state where it shows early signs of true potential and value .. and then another year or so before a real launch.
Ultimately I want to create a robust moddable online sci-fi spaceship framework that simulates a moving spaceship that travels across (randomly generated) galaxies with missions and goals. With gameplay elements such as atmospherics, station engineering, paramedics and medicine, security personnel and more. All sorts of events would happen from covert player antagonist roles to hostile boardings and real spaceship battles.
