Solar Captains - January 2024 Dev Gameplay

Some gameplay footage to show you the latest progress as we build Solar Captains. You can join the discord to talk about the game: Here is a link to the old playable beta - this one has not been released just yet: In this clip, you can see: - The new HUD UI - Click on a ship in your fleet to focus on it - Click on the flagship to return - Minimap and full/main map are now working (with sounds and icons) - The new asteroid belt hazard - The new fleet command UI. Options are independent action, line, and column formation. Plus two options - defend friendly base and bombard enemy base. Formations are greatly improved to prevent tailgating and (some) ramming - You can see the new pickup barrels. I also show off the repair and instant reload effects. - You may also be able to see some wildlife if you look closely. Jelly swarms and space rays. These are still work in progress. - You can also see a glimpse of the battlecruiser for the blue faction (which I put in our fleet). It has a multi-torpedo spread weapon that is good for sinking slow-moving enemy shipping. - Lastly, this contains a preview of the new ship destruction routine which is currently only fully set up for torpedo boats. You can see many white placeholder cubes for other ships like the frigate.
