My group ran out of time. We tried to do a Star Fox knock off. We ended up with most of the necessary mechanics in place, but had no time to make even a single level. So the level has a smattering of asteroids and no enemies and an IOU from the boss at the end.
I programmed the xbox controller input manager, the on-rails movement system, all the ship actions (bank, barrel roll, and the various speed boost/penalties/in-vulnerabilities that go along with them) and attempted to fix the shooting at the last minute. The other programmer did that but made all the shots shoot exactly forward from the ship model which doesn’t work in starfox. You need a reticle to properly hit things, not how real aircraft work, but it is how starfox works. So there is a reticle but there’s nothing prevent it from going off screen and it wasn’t made by our artist. Just me in gimp.
I forget what else the other programmer did. Our artist did all the art except the skybox, I had a skybox package from a long time ago that we selected from.
There’s no audio except for the blasters lol.
Oh well, we only had 48hrs.
