Darkorbit "Clone"

[bisa130]

I decided to start over with porting this game into browser based multi player after getting more experience in multi player programming.
I've gotten to a point where you can do the following things smoothly:

• Login
• Fly Around
• See Other Players Fly Around
• Target Other Players
• Fire At Other Players
• Be Fired Upon By Other Players
• Logout

I'd like to know what people think about the graphics setup.
Especially the engine trail, since its non-original.
Here is my YT video previewing it.

The game is in a stasis of closed alpha at this time.

-Ship fly so slow
-The "fire" from ship is so boring...

Thx for feedback!
-ship speed can be altered
-Any improvement suggestions? =P

*I made this clone source from years back Lol ^^
Also, I have never seen a "server release" before.
If it gets to a playable state I might release a server build

Maybe add shooting?

Well, do you want to make it like PvP, PvE or PvP/PvE game?

Primarily pvp, but I might add NPC's as well at some point in time.

Okay, so you should work on onther maps, teleporting and multi-player

Map-switching is an easy task and I already have a concept in my mind ^^
If it's something I should worry about it should be how net-heavy the game will be, and I'm trying to keep it to a minimum. =P

[DumbassIsKing]

Nice to hear some of you like it.

Here is a video of the targeting / firing so far.
If you'd like to help out, I'll need another targeting image/texture. (got a bunch of PM's from ppl wanting to help out)

I apologize for the video quality. The program I used wouldn't let me do over 30 fps nor would it let me render it uncompressed.

Game already looks good, just remove this boring light behind ship

bisa, add me in skype
