Players compete to capture Planets for Exo ships, Resources, and Tactical advantages.
We are working on a Single Player Campaign that provides epic stories and choice, with multiple species and factions competing in a Universe scale conflict.

Let's talk plans.
#MDev showed me that mission 1 didn't have enough and mission 2 was too much.
Mission 1 has combat and a gather your crew storyline.
New Mission 2 that introduces planets gameplay.
Mission 3 will stay the same.

Mission 1 Revamp - Kuiper Belt
So last time this mission was a move to gate and win.
I expanded the map, added combat, and gathering the team mechanic to make it more interesting.
Top-down attached.

I've been rewriting the event system for ease of use and integrity; Dynomega's quest system is still the backbone, but events are triggered using the new blueprints.

I'm revamping the first mission in the Kuiper Belt.
A big part of it is figuring out the clouds, as I've learned more about the nebulas from Ambient GraphX I think they'll work just fine.

I'm back.
I'm sharing the Avii Basic ship today.
Avii ships resemble jet fighters, cockpit forward. The ship base does have a semi-circle shape.

The Old Unit HUD was hard to understand when you had several units next to each other, so I redesigned it to be around the unit. This makes it a bit easier to see.

This is the Gaian Armor Vessel. It has increased hull points.

In Exosolar, the Gaian are newcomers to the Universe and are trying to find their place in it.

Spent some time with my planets this weekend and developed a way to create some cool variations.
The green/black planet was the original, the blue green planet went through the transformation.

This is the Gaian Attack ship.
Each ship type gets a boost in one stat, and Attack ships do more damage every shot.

Gaian ships are generally angled forward with a prominent bridge near the rear of the vessel.

I was very happy to get this in, combat distances. Ships stop when they are in range of targets. Combat feels so much better now!

I got a lot of great feedback out of MDev and currently working on plans to make the Exosolar experience better. I'll be posting some of the work I did before and hopefully the new stuff comes soon after.

Mass Effect's story telling and branching narrative is a huge influence on Exosolar.

The Avii are a flying species steeped in tradition and protecting their ancestors legacies.
Aggressive, loyal to their clans, and superior in pact tactics.
Here you can see the Avii Senate building on their homeworld, their briefing room.

Here is the Avii Capital Ship. Setup similarly to other assets, I can change their colors.

The Avii are swift, pack fighters.

Wanted to highlight the ships.
This is the Gaian Capital Ship, I've setup a team color channel that allows me to change the color per team. Each capital ship will have a special ability, coming soon...

This is what Exosolar is about, capturing planets.
Uncontested in this video, you can see the process and how quick it is to capture and get another ship on your force.

I want players to get a feel for the size of the universe, to understand the scale of the Exosolar conflict. What better way to do it with a menu selection screen?

We have a new look for mission 1. I'll explain the reason why in replies.
