Development news and the style of background
[ 2015-12-25 21:07:47 CET ] [ Original post ]
You probably already very used to blue background of Celestial Command, and seems like everyone already tired from this. The background is blue not because of this is style or we are fans of blue color. :)
Now, when we are developing 3D, it is good time to revise the style of the background.
In most space games, especially old, the background looks like a colorful mess. We wish to avoid this type of backgrounds and prefer more realistic solutions, but real black space - probably is not very suitable style for Celestial Command. However, we made this variant just to see how it will looks like.
It is only a test, currently color of the background still blue, but we are wish to change it to something new, just didn't' decided how exactly.
By the way, take a note on the star at the second screenshot, it is more detailed. We plan to slightly change a style of star.
And some news about development process. We continue to adapt various systems for 3D. For example, these connectors and mounting points previously was located above the modules.
But now it is fixed.
Also you may note that some parts of the ship already replaced with 3D models. Here one another screenshot:
Oh, yes, also we made some performance optimization. Geometry of planets and asteroids becomes more simple when it is far from the observer. Many people appreciate that the game runs on weak computers, so we wish to keep it performance and even improve it.
Besides, pretty soon we plan to add a support of touch screen, so the game should be able to work even on Windows Tablet PCs.
Thanks for support!

Celestial Command is a realistic sandbox space game which unites real space flight, real orbital mechanics, and all the fun of classic space action games.
We want to show how games about space actually should look, without silly vacuum friction and the maximum speed limit. As in the real world, everything in this game is in continuous motion in orbit.
This game is not about silly vacuum friction and maximum speed limitation. It is about real physics and orbital mechanics like in the real world! Get to know with orbital maneuvering, launching satellites and protecting planets from asteroids.
You can build your own ship part by part. Each part of the ship is individual, it has own functions and parameters. Therefore, abilities of your ship are completely dependent on the modules from which it is assembled. You can build small explorers, large industrial ships, carriers, defence satellites or whatever you want.
All resources of the ship are limited. Including fuel, energy, ammo and parts for repair, so store them and use them wisely.
You are not bound to the single ship. You can build as many ships and space stations as you want. And you can switch between them anytime.
Explore a procedural world filled with planets, asteroids, space stations and other fun stuff. The world of the game is completely seamless, you can zoom out from your ship to the whole star system.
Survey asteroids for useful resources, extract it from planets or salvage wreckage of defeated enemies.
The extraction of raw materials is not enough to build a new ship. You need to process raw materials in special facilities to produce parts that are required to construct ship's modules.
Build various types of devices to fight against enemies. Cannons, lasers, rockets, shields and other useful devices.
There you can explore the procedural world, find the resources, build any type of ships or space stations which you want, command your fleet and fight with enemies.
The game is 2D, so it is pretty easy and fun to play, but we implemented unique graphic style, which allows it to look like 3D with modern lighting and effects.
Also, the game has now been in active development, so if you are interested, check out our development blog for new features and future plans.

Realistic Orbital Mechanic
This game is not about silly vacuum friction and maximum speed limitation. It is about real physics and orbital mechanics like in the real world! Get to know with orbital maneuvering, launching satellites and protecting planets from asteroids.
Fully customizable Ships
You can build your own ship part by part. Each part of the ship is individual, it has own functions and parameters. Therefore, abilities of your ship are completely dependent on the modules from which it is assembled. You can build small explorers, large industrial ships, carriers, defence satellites or whatever you want.
Ship Management
All resources of the ship are limited. Including fuel, energy, ammo and parts for repair, so store them and use them wisely.
Command a Fleet
You are not bound to the single ship. You can build as many ships and space stations as you want. And you can switch between them anytime.
Seamless Star System
Explore a procedural world filled with planets, asteroids, space stations and other fun stuff. The world of the game is completely seamless, you can zoom out from your ship to the whole star system.
Gather Resources
Survey asteroids for useful resources, extract it from planets or salvage wreckage of defeated enemies.
Multistage Production System
The extraction of raw materials is not enough to build a new ship. You need to process raw materials in special facilities to produce parts that are required to construct ship's modules.
Fight the Enemy
Build various types of devices to fight against enemies. Cannons, lasers, rockets, shields and other useful devices.
