+===================================== | Galactic Federation Beta-Test Demo v.0.7 | Released May 04 2004 | Developer: Radivoj Radivojevic, RR Soft, Serbia | Programing Language: Borland Delphi 6 | Copyright © 2004 Radivoj Radivojevic +===================================== Thank You for trying Galactic Federation Test Demo. Galactic Federation will be the next genearation space combat simulator. This demo is for testing purpose only, it's in early beta stage, and should be reviewed as unfinished project. Some textures and models in this demo does not represent one that may be included in actual game. The game features battles of large number of ships confronting at a time, one hundred of fighters and capital shipsfighting in a misison create spectacular atmosphere and give unique gaming experience. Game is built on an in house developed DirectX9 engine and possess dynamic geometry modification damage model which alows realistic ship cutting, burntrougths, hull piece choping, subsystem and turrets destoying ans so on... Full game will have campaign with over 30 action tense missions revealing epic story in an unknown part of the universe. Player can pilot over 20 fighters and bombers, and equip them with arrays of energy and projectile weapons from the fleet arsenal. CURRENT WORK: This demo have Geo Mod, powerfull dynamic damage model enabling realistic ship cuts, burntrougts and parts tearing. Ship to ship collision response is only partialy done, it doesnt have angular component yet. I'm planing to include spherical shields for the final release. You can now target ship subsystems and turrets. You can destroy turrets when ship is out of shield. To destroy ship you must destroy most of its subsystems. Guns now attenuate with time, it means when you hit target from minimum distance it will cause maximum damage, the longer the distance the smaller the damage until it disappear completly. Dynamic lighting has been added, as well as some planets and nebulas in the background. Explosions and particles are improved and shokwaves are now present. I'm working on campaign and model textures now, and the game should be finished soon. NOTES: You must have DirectX 9.0 instaled on your system in order to run this demo.
