Unsung Void Game

Indie dev & designer learning all the things. Building a tactical space opera RPG

Some in-world ship overviews, including a mix of civilian, pirate, and merc ships.

Been working hard to get better at Blender, hopefully the progress is showing!

We're back!

Unsung Void has been rewritten 4 times since the last post. I've been working hard for the entire year getting the latest build ready for an end of year demo (hopefully).

Today, I hit a major milestone - 30 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay.

@70sscifi One of my all time favs

@EckhartsLadder Me being a software engineer because I took a photography class that led me down the Adobe Suite pipeline. It's wild how you can impact a child's trajectory like that with the right programs

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

It's incredible what @wildermyth has done. Extremely underrated game. In an era of incredible AAA games this game has been the only one who has kept me hooked for 10 hours nonstop whenever I play.

@TemplinEdu Ursula Le Guinns Left Hand of Darkness was explicitly written this way according to her.

Experimenting with some more unique fighter designs - really liked this one. Picturing it in-game as a carrier-based interceptor of sorts. It makes up for short range weaponry and light armor with thrust vectoring technologies. Once its on you good luck getting it off your back!

To me the biggest chore is working on greebles & independent turret designs, but its fun when something comes together. Turrets will be independent actors attached to their respective ships and I'm still debating making it a configurable option

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

@Genjack_Matt The original version had spinal mounted turrets, but since there is a "fin" of sorts it interrupts the collision of the turrets. The mouth of the frigate was a perfect place for dual batteries. Maybe the spinal guns will be point defense instead.

Toying around with some livery ideas for the Hyperion faction. That turret placement isn't final, but I think its neat and would provide decent coverage (except frontal fire). Maybe some nose cannons will be necessary too. #indiedev

@rilegerard Once you get into airbrushing it's real fun :) not a huge barrier to entry too and will even help some painting concepts digitally

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

@EckhartsLadder I spent 12 hours rewriting some code bevause ChatGPT made up a function name that led me to expect things worked a certain way

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

Not enough bicycles in scifi. Cmon that's like such an obvious gap. Human powered spacesuit friendly bicycles. Why are there no artistic renditions of this? I want to see it.

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

There are so many incredibly talented independent game writers, concept artists, game devs, environmental artists, modelers, sound designers, etc that I wish I had all the money in the world to hire. It really is incredible and I feel so thankful for this community.

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

@jmpdrv Oof best of luck!

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

@SpaceAgeWolf @TheSpaceshipper Take that back, I got obsessed with using those dice strategically, and my middle finger stopped working for a week from scrolling around thr station back and forth

@ZloNoNameSov Holy crap! Thanks so much! I sincerely spent hours trying to figure this out yesterday. Mind sharing the model? 🥹

[Unsung Void Game @Unsungvoid]

This is one of those shapes I absolutely cannot get my head around in Blender and I regret including it in my concept art
