Star Void | Full Body Character IK

I just implemented Godot's IK demo into my own project, I had to remake the character's skeleton to make things work. (I later figured that the mesh was not aligning well because it wasn't properly aligned with the bone causing some unwanted separating, I later fixed this. I haven't yet optimized the new character body hence the lag)

Star Void | Migrating To Godot 4?

The project is staying in Godot 3, I have decided that the project is too big now to transfer

Star Void | Migrating To Godot 4
I have been developing this game in Godot 3.5 now for some time, but I have finally decided to transfer this project to Godot 4.1 as it has multi-threading, sdfgi and lots of other useful mechanics which will boost the development of this project.

With this decision, I shall also resume posting updates regularly on the project

Star Void Update video has been postponed due to lots of mechanics being developed.

Star Void | Massive update incoming

I haven't posted in a while on this page because I have been solving lots of bugs and adding mechanics to the project so I could make a mass update video. A proper in-depth update video on the project will be posted on my YT channel soon.

The images below shows the latest thing I have been working on, which is the spaceship shield system. [I am currently in the "Spaceship 2S | Mechanics" stage of development, and overall the project development is still in Phase 1. if you are wondering why their is no atmosphere, it's because I am remaking the atmosphere system to make it more realistic and natural.

Star Void ┃ New Advanced Character System

A new character system has been developed, it supports dynamic gravity triggered by area nodes and better planet gravity, this allows for flat-surfaced objects to have gravity (hence, you can now walk around inside spaceships).

- Because any/all Rigid bodies are now affected by gravity now, I turned the spaceships into rigid bodies so now the spaceships will be affected by the gravity bodies

I know this is laggy af, I haven't yet optimized it, but this is the first lighting test for the Lencorpo S-E1

Dynamic Thrusters for space ships | Star Void

New dynamic thrusters are being added to Star Void spaceships. In the game, Space Ships used to have arcade flying but now, with this new thruster system each thruster on spaceships will actually do something than just being their for show.

This new thruster system also allows for variety of situation encounter such as if a thruster is destroyed the spaceship will react accordingly, engine failure, thruster upgrades, etc.

video showcasing the first steps of integration:

This is the first test run of the Lencorpo S-E1 (the spaceship)

after I fix the glitching issue and the door not opening, I will start working on gravity for flat surface grounds and the spaceship

YouTube video showcasing Star Void gameplay [game is heavily WIP]. don't forget to subscribe to the Gamedev Eric YT channel

I have improved the game a lot, I am really proud of the origin shifter that I made for the game which improved fps. The hyper travel is going to be faster t...

Star Void SpaceShip Generator

Star Void is a large-scale game and creating everything manually would take a lot of time especially when creating spaceships, so I got a spaceship generator which procedurally generates spaceships [it generates spaceships in two or less seconds] which I can then edit as CSG mesh to easily create interiors and more (in Godot Game Engine). Now I won't be using this generator for all spaceships because it only generates Class-XL (extra large) spaceships, I will only be using this spaceship generator for about 90% of spaceships (Class-XL and up)



Here is a video showcasing some of the spaceships I have generated:

Star Void Planets redo and New atmosphere

- Before the dimensions of the planet and the way it looked seemed unrealistic, so I worked on a much more realistic planet generator which looks more realistic in the game engine I am developing the game in (Godot).

- The new atmosphere system now allows for a much more realistic atmospheric visuals combined with the new procedural planet generator. The procedural planets generated have their own collision and can be exported as fbx, obj and gltf files. The new atmosphere system now has different weather forms, a better night side and transition to night side which allows for beautiful sunrise and sunsets
