Hey #PitchYaGame Drone Sector is a futuristic gunship simulator with RTS elements. - Provide close air support - Guide your ground troops - Research new weaponry 🟥Demo out now: store.steampowered.com/app/3710740/Dr…

The bots are spinning #gamedev #indiedev

While developing completely unrelated stuff to AA, I discovered that with high velocity and constant altitude changes, I can dodge AA rockets. They don't get close enough to explode, so they keep infinitely circling the gunship, until they reach it. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Radio system improved🔊 Controlling your own IFV is pretty fun, just watch out for: - Sneaky AT infantry - Enemy IFV hiding in the bushes #gaming #gamedev

Enemy AA is half working. I don't know what's going on at the end there. #gamedev #indiegame

Exactly 1 year ago I started posting about Drone Sector. The game has changed a lot and somehow not at all. #gamedev #indiegame

Drone Sector now has smoke vision blocking system. It blocks the line of sight of everyone. Any explosion with sufficient smoke would also block vision. As for these smoke grenade weapons, I'd have to tweak their size and duration. #madewithunity #gamedev

I'm messing around again, making the minigun fire artillery shells. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

testing building destruction! #gamedev

Just for fun, I gave each of my 8 infantrymen a 150mm artillery cannon with a fire rate of 120 shells per minute. That's more firepower than my gunship. #gamedev #indiegame

Broke the tank behavior, again #gamedev #indiedev

Progress on AI development - Squad leapfrog movement - Formations Technically the game already had formations, but prior solution had performance issues and was overall pain to work with. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

Enemies turned on Maximum Speed!!! Just a bug, every time they flee from explosions, their speed gets multiplied by 1.5, but it is never reset. #gamedev #game

I'm experimenting with incoming damage visual effects. For gameplay reasons, I'm also considering an option of one of your 4 cameras breaking after x amount of damage. In this video the thermal broke, remaining glitched out for the whole mission. #madewithunity #gamedev

I started work on enemy Anti-Air. How would you defend yourself against these missiles? #gamedevelopment #indiegame

Shell with gravity VS shell without gravity Same speed 300 m/s Same start (almost) Same end #madewithunity #IndieGameDev

What is the enemy doing??? Lots of the project refactor is done: - Drone flight works - Firing from gunship works (new gunship weapons are much easier to create) - Better base for AI dev - Code changes compile much faster (my code dependencies were a mess before) #gamedev

1 week of refactoring later - game's a bit broken Necessary pain to: - Fix up bad code design choices from 1 year ago - Support weapon and squad editing - Make better radio chatter system - Support multi-stage missions - Simplify AI behavior development #indiedev #gamedev

1. I made the targeting boxes look different, if the gunship doesn't have direct line of sight (some squad member sees the enemy). 2. I'm experimenting with system, where the targeting boxes only show if you are zoomed in enough. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
