Build 45 - New Physics, 3D Menu, Old Levels, more models.


Hello Everyone!

A major new Build is here!

The game is now called Rocket Jockeys.

I have included a sample from the original game levels to beta test the loading and gameplay, They are incomplete and some stuff don't work like the original (mostly painters and dispensers).

Bonus: I've added the build of Day 6 of development to see how far it have come!

Changelog:

  • New 3D menu.
  • Split Screen Audio! I've written a new audio system to duplicate sound sources relative to the second player.
  • New Physics solver with less bugs and stretchiness.
  • Original music loading (MUSIC NOT INCLUDED!!!!!!) or any music you want.
  • New AI for Rocket Ball and Rocket War.
  • Rocket Racing Levels logic and gameplay added (No special AI yet)
  • Implemented most major models from the original game So that old levels work well (All walls  are remade in 3D. Dispenser Objects and balls,  Rope Spools, Powerup Painters, Hooks, Popup Walls, Floors, Pillars, Harpoons etc...).
  • Data Saving and leaderboards per levels (not online yet)
  • Performance optimizations for 3D grass and many models.
  • Visual tweaks to many aspects of the game
  • More sounds for the character and various objects(like mines beeping)
  • Cool Title Screen


Gameplay Changes:

  • All rope physics changed and is much more robust and stable.
  • Rockets turning and speed adjusted to further meet the original(red rocket is almost fully calibrated).
  • Added dispenser Items and bombs, Harpoons, Hook types and THE CLAW!
  • Mines can now be used as balls and scored like in the original game.
  • Rocket Racing, It exists now.
  • Added Flappy Bird minigame.
  • Old levels have Hook Powerups(the ring painters are not functional yet).
  • AI can now score goals.
  • Removed Flappy Bird minigame.

Known\Potential Issues:

  • Dispensers don't behave like the original game in most levels (missing data).
  • Yellow ring painters don't do anything yet.
  • AI is still stupid and will get stuck\kill itself.
  • AI Really hates player 2.
  • Rocket Ball AI is the same as the War AI (placeholder).
  • Split Screen controls might not work occasionally (not sure it it still happens).
