Worked a bit on the UI and the player input. There are two input modes: - Control mode toggled using CTRL. If enabled, your ship aligns with the direction the camera is facing. - Freelook mode enabled while holding ALT. Otherwise its an orbit cam #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #expanse #TheExpanse

Its starting to feel like a real game now! 😁🚀 UI is of course just the first draft and not final at all, though I am quite happy with the signatures. (the text in the center of the screen is just to make the video more understandable).

Hey, thanks for the comment! Yeah especially with the more realistic single thruster, newtonian flight modelling I need to find a good way to control all of that. I feel like the classic dogfighting (elite dangerous?) flight style is probably easier to do. What do you think of my attempts so far?

Yes you can zoom out. I just didn't show that in the video 😅 I might need to make another one 😆 Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

I really appreciate the offer! Indeed, I am still missing music, but I think it's bit too early for that right now. Once I do get to that stage, I might send you a message 🙂 Something like your "The Burning Horizon" would probably fit pretty well!
