Not much went on last night, just spent some time fixing those pesky artifacts of Sunbeams/Crepuscular/God Ray or whatever you call it :) that were showing up on transparent materials.

Navigating in space is challenging, especially when it's unclear what altitude you're at. To make things easier, my game introduces a clear navigation system. Space is divided into three distinct altitude levels: Upper,Middle and Lower...

Progress has been slow on my game lately; the last two nights have mostly been spent wrestling with the tedious task of designing the 2D GUI and addressing other issues, GUI images not final : D

Here's a more elaborate user-friendly navigation system in open space. It features intuitive 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 that indicate both the 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 and the 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, making maneuvering in 3D space easier and more precise.

Minor progress, focusing on unit selection and refining the UX. Need to solidify the core game mechanics and user experience before shifting attention to visuals or polish. Gameplay feeling right first, eye candy can come later : )

Rendering real-time engine thrust particles is computationally expensive (ToT) I tried to optimize performance, especially at far distances by faking the particles with just quad 😅, but it seamless and did the trick really : D

How about a swarm of Fast-Attack Fighter-Craft launching a coordinated assault against large enemy warship, striking from all directions to overwhelm its defenses, this isn't the final AI attack mode, it can be improved later : )

No video fidz for today, as I'm currently focused on the UI and user interaction. Smooth user interaction is crucial for my game, I'm dedicating time to hope that core controls feel responsive and easy to use...

First, I'll wrangle those 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 and wrestle the 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘂 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 into shape, Once that’s behaving, unleash the epicness with 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 and a 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 that makes players Laugh, Cry, or Question our very life existence 😅

This network stack will be used for my SpaceRTS LAN game with MOBA hybrid. The game was design to be multiplayer in mind from the start, It will handle real-time multiplayer comm, synchronization, and low-latency gameplay across local network environments, yep this was also tested over the internet.

Okay last bit of indulgence into my space RTS thing, before going back to Keep It Running: Together :)

Environment is rendered separately, so things appear much bigger than they are.

Had a bit of a play with my concept for "Draconian Empire: Scavengers", a standalone version of the Homeworld 2 mod I made back in 2012-2014. Gotta scavenge parts and make your own custom ships.

Here's the ModDB page for the mod: www.moddb.com/mods/draconi...

We've rebuilt the camera and navigation so you can actually command fleets in true three‑dimensional space. The old ground‑RTS style controls are gone—now your ships move and engage in full 3D.
