I was fideling around in unity 3d the other day and I gots and Idea, i wasnt sure were to put this but here goes. With the bc engine being so old, why not make a completely new engine that replaces the current one. Meaning, why cant we take one of the better game dev platforms, and re-form bc out of it. I did alot of work on this new game concept and heres what ive got so far. If this turns out, lets make this a community effort.

Platform:
Unity 3d
Scripts:
Java Script

Just rendered this. Feel free to comment

Shadows arent supported in free unity, when it comes time for final prep, I'll activate a unity pro trial and add shadows, enhanced glows, etc...

Heres another render

Any chance we could see some decent ships in the engine?

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #4 on:** July 17, 2010, 10:04:35 PM »

HEY! the nxrefits not that bad lol, with permission, I'll add the DJ Galaxy Pegasus (that is if DJ permits it)

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #5 on:** July 18, 2010, 03:29:31 PM »

Heres the Pegasus in game, specs wont render properly so Ill work on those later. Shes still labeled temp until permission is recieved from DJ, comments welcome. Even without specs, she looks better here than in BC lol

you can still see the nx as a tiny dot in the background lol

Alright, with permission, The U.S.S. Krakow is in game. I tell you people, every ship so far that I have converted from BC looks even better in STU, Once I get clearence from DJ, im gonna start working on weapons (and maybe a few test targets)

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #7 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:18:55 PM »

Another Hour, another render even better than the last. Im noticing that almost all of the ships I have are having issues with mapping spec maps. Im going to consult the unity forums for advice.

Are there going to be orthos for this NX-Class (TNG-Era) refit?

Bones · « **Reply #9 on:** July 19, 2010, 08:20:20 AM »

Yay

Krakow got through to STU

I love that render with SB in the background

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #10 on:** July 19, 2010, 08:57:48 AM »

Heres a shot of how the player viewpoint is going to be by default, as you can see, ive added glows to the impulse engines, these are also present on the pegasus now

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #11 on:** July 19, 2010, 03:05:56 PM »

W00T!!!! GOT SPECS WORKING ON THE PEGASUS :woot: :woot:

Pretty Cool man.

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2010, 01:55:41 PM »

Alright, ive got a whole web site created for the game

startrekalpha.webs.com

As you can probably tell from the link, I have changed the games name to Star Trek Alpha. The site has its own forum that includes a Credit thread for everything I use. Also, the game is now playable in-browser as you take basic control of the Krakow. Please send me a PM or email me at captain_licard@live.com if anything comes up or you have an idea. I encourage you all to register and participate on the site as this is a community project. I will still participate here and be releaseing mods for BC, but not as often scince I will be busy with STA.

P.S.
heres the latest render

Kirk · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2010, 04:20:19 PM »

Shadows?
Zoomable camera?
Ability to go up or down?

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:30:28 PM »

All Coming in the mk2 alpha release, this is just to get something for people to use, the next release will have altitude change and zoomable camera. However, shadows are a pro-only feature and scince I dont have $3500 usd right now for a liscence, Shadows will have to wait until the final release.

Nice, loved seeing glows on the Krakow from the Pegasus.

TheConstable6 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:39:14 PM »

It already feels really nice & I expect it to get much better :assimilate

Just Played the Alpha and I've got to say: cool beans man. Definitely a lot of potential here.
