Firstly, thanks everyone for taking the time, i appreciate it.
@ Retimer, MGE and mayamann101 :-
The framework currently is unoptimised, I suspect that the performance and MAV issues are caused by excessive system requirements. Hopefully the optimised version will be much less demanding system-wise.
@ andy_mc, JA2 :-
Nice gameplay ideas ! I think we are on the same lines. Certainly it will feature abduction (I had thought chunky farm animals). I especially like the fly as an alien idea.
@ Nomen luni :-
That sfx is excellent - something like that is a must have. Love it.
@ Stevie G :-
I do aim to have all the media in a similar style, blocky textures, vertex colouring, etc where appropriate.
Visually i suppose Zarch was in the back of my mind, but your work has been an inspiration too if im honest.
The physics lib is primarily for collisions, terrain / tree / bullet / UFO / Etc - although if you hunt around there is a little four wheeled car on the planet (its white and fairly small) - controlled by the cursor keys and flipped upright with the space bar (some headlights come on if you drive into the 'dark side').
I intend to have vehicles in the finished article, perhaps have the ability to drive around with a rear mounted weapon in a pick-up sort of affair.
Thanks again for having a look,
Mark
