First Prototype and Playtesting!

The Savage Firmament
A browser game made in HTML5

Welcome everyone to the first prototype for The Savage Firmament! We are excited for everyone involved in the playtesting to be merciless in their feedback!

The Savage Firmament is a 3D space shooter game. You will navigate an asteroid field searching out enemies to destroy, all the while avoiding their own shots. Even though this is just a box world prototype, we are excited to see how much everyone enjoys it.

With the release of this closed prototype, we have worked on bringing just the basics to game, although we will certainly be adding more features later and definitely fine-tuning those basics again and again! The most important features we currently have in the game are these:

  • A box-world player with basic flight controls and a projectile weapon system.
  • Enemies that wander the 3D space randomly until they see the player, after which they begin their pursuit and attack.
  • A fully destructible asteroid field to fill the environment, with a decorative space station in the middle.
  • A boundary system that destroy objects that stray too far away and warns the player of their leaving the battlefield.
  • A planetary skybox to add to the feel of the game and give the player orientation.

As part of this closed prototype, we ask all who play test this to please fill out the survey in the game’s description to help us devs know where our next focus should be in bringing this game fully to life!
