I kinda forgot to respond to all the comments on the jam so my apologies for the late reply but thank you! This praise means a lot especially coming from such an esteemed VTOL VR modder as yourself. There was a lot more that I wanted to add, but even what I managed to settle on was way too ambitious and I wasn't able to get many of the quality of life features I wanted to add. I also had never done clicky cockpits before, and getting the magneto switch to work was especially tricky. Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback! I wish I had added a few more hints in the game, but I wanted to keep it sort of "realistic" with minimal UI popups. I sort of shot myself in the foot by trying to rely on my poorly coded radio system for instructions which is why I think it turned out pretty vague.
Haha thanks. I was pretty concerned about having people get off track, and I planned on flushing out the radio system a bit more to have tower tell you when you are off course, however the code was a mess and I ended up running out of time before implementing it. I also wished I had flushed the checklist out a bit more and had been a little more ham-fisted with the hints but I wanted to keep "muh immersion" so I sort of shot myself in the foot there. I appreciate the feedback though!
I was not expecting to see another flight sim for the game jam! The flight physics feel a little loose, like you will turn in one direction and keep banking even if you've let up on the aileron. But other than that its pretty neat. The whole gremlins concept is very cool though. Reminds me a lot of the twilight zone.
This was a really cool game! I think it is really technically impressive how you managed to get that procedural animation and squad mechanics in the game with only two weeks. The twist at the end was pretty neat as well.
The games poor performance is an issue I'm painfully aware of and something I'm currently trying to fix. It's Mostly because of bad coding practices on my part and I'm currently refactoring a lot of the AI code to try to make it scale better. Due to the aircraft's use of somewhat "realistic" physics, the aircraft isn't exactly stable in the air and will tend to drift down due to an unbalance of forces. I've experimented with an auto trim feature to help alleviate this but it didn't really work well so I scrapped it. I will be sure to try and implement a proper one in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
Although there isn't a lot of content just yet, I think this game is actually one of the coolest flight simulators on Itch. The core gameplay is very polished, and I find it very impressive that you've made your own game engine for this. It is hard enough to make the things you've done in something like Unity which already does much of the heavy lifting.
The whole game just has this very nice style that I think is very cool.
Wow this is super cool. The style is great and you executed it very well. I was expecting it to not feel right due to the nature of the style but it actually plays very well.
