Testing flying algorithm on a proper race course. I need to optimize it a bit more for speed. Next step is adding in collision avoidance and tracking the progress of multiple racers.

Creating the pilot brains to fly through waypoints. The other ship is the old AI that flies all over the place and overshoots constantly. They are all gas and no brakes.

Sometimes it feels like we are flying in circles and cannot move on. That is the problem with my current autopilot code. All the beautiful debugging vectors are visible.

AI Flight controllers starting to work with a new color scheme on the AI ships. What flying games had the best enemy AI for dog fights?

Gameplay fighting some turrets. What do I need to change about the controls? Homing missiles AI still needs work. And please ignore the audio. That will all change.

Getting the homing missiles and their visual effects dialed in. #homingmissiles #spacesim #madewithunity

Visual effects testing for weapons and explosions. Trying to maintain consistent visual style as a non-artist. #VFX #MadeWithUnity #SpaceSim

Working on a Macross style space fighter. I used a flat shader in blender to make it more cartoony, with a super simple flat color texture and UV unwrapping along visible seams in the mesh.

Here's the initial look at the gameplay from my arcade-style space adventure. I'm aiming for a racing game vibe with authentic, drift-heavy space navigation, requiring precise thrust control. #spacesim #indiegame #spaceflightphysics #madewithunity
