Asteroid Thrower: Short sneak preview GIF
This is a short update to the Asteroid Thrower
I've been working intensively on the asteroid launcher and the drones over the last few days. Even though the asteroid launcher isn't finished yet, here's what it looks like so far:
From the archives:
"Acting as a medium-class support unit, the Asteroid Launcher operates from a distance.
It uses a tractor beam to capture smaller asteroids and hurl them at the aggressor.
Powered by state-of-the-art grav-tech, the Asteroid Launcher does not betray its position via thruster signatures. Its impenetrable secondary shields orient themselves toward the aggressor, rendering frontal assaults futile.
It serves as another component of Earth's defense forces, deployed whenever conventional measures prove insufficient.
"
Current progress:
The AI, models and animations are mostly done. Sounds and explosion effects still need to be added.
I'm happy with the outcome so far, the Asteroid Thrower brings a lot of dynamism to the gameplay and if an asteoroid hits you, it hits hard. I will do a sneak preview video as soon as explosion effects and sounds are in.
Stay tuned :-)
