Special Space Force

13/05/2021

Victory! Our combat system (though still buggy) is in, and version 0.3.9 is available for testing!

If you want to get it, head to www.bitsparkentertainment.co.uk!

We need people testing out the combat and reporting back any odd stuff they see - errors in the text, numbers not adding up, and troopers missing from squads that weren't involved in combat!

Want to see a bit more about how to customize your troopers on Special Space Force? Look below!

Equipment effects their effectiveness in combat, from how much of their body armour covers and how thick it is, to how far their weapon's can accurately shoot and how much damage they can do in one shot!

In future, you will also have to manage ammunition and medical apparatuses, plus other things that even I haven't thought of yet!

When modding Special Space Force, you'll be dealing entirely with XML code. This type of code is much easier to serialize and de-serialize, and is also relatively readable. As development goes on, I hope to create tutorials to help people modify and create their own XML code. Players are able to mod everything from Races, their threats and the missions you can do all the way through to the armour and weapons your troopers have and what space craft make up the fleet!

For now though, here is a brief overview of the XML system, focused on the threat system!

The threat system is under way! A threat is an enemy force, monster, or even a planetary disaster that your force will ned to reach too to help the inhabitants of a planet. You'll need to equip your troopers to face the threats you're sending them to, in order that they have the best chance of overcoming it!

In this brief Feature Focus I give an overview of the threat system and how players will interact with it. This is still early in development and likely to c...

One of the more complex parts of our prototype, here is a quick video breaking down the purpose of the force organisation screen, and showcasing how you can interact with your troopers in the squad menu.

The Glass World is a completely mod made planet using the engine features of Special Space Force to render textures and give it populations, cities and clouds. Because this world is covered in a surface of glass, there are no surface cities so no lights to see at night! The population of the planet lives below the surface, in its stoney crust. How it got covered in glass though? We don't know...

This is just one of the many moddable parts of SSF, and you can edit mod things in the prototype we have available. Head to our website for more information!

You can view your voidcraft in orbit around planets - and it's not a bad view either!

Here are a few screenshots from the Sector view and the system view, which show you a bit more information on how your voidcraft can traverse the in game galaxy.

On the sector view, selecting a voidcraft icon above a system opens the voidcraft movement menu, which will inform you of how many turns it will take for any voidcraft to travel to any systems you hover your mouse over. Once you have selected the voidcraft you want to move, right click on the system you want to move them too.
