EDIT: This game is now released! Get it @ http://3079.phr00t.com/



Hey all,



I’m very far into a large jMonkeyEngine project – thought I’d finally share my progress!



My game is called 3079 (sequel to 3059 and 3069). Think of this game as Minecraft & Fallout 3 mixed together :slight_smile:

Couple of features:

  • Very optimized and fast – multithreaded, low memory and CPU requirements – very smooth!
  • Open world exploration in all directions (no set height limits either; floating buildings and asteroids way up high)
  • Smart AI (wanders, investigates, follows, little bit of pathfinding etc.)
  • Focus on action, with many different weapon types, including melee weapons
  • Body-location damage calculation (e.g. more damage for head shots, less for legs)
  • Dismember body parts! Strong hit to the head? Head will pop off!
  • Procedurally generated quests and scripted storyline
  • Sneak-attacks, invisibility, AI “detected level” warning bar, energy usage
  • Does have a little bit of mining and building blocks too :wink:
  • Ray-traced lighting (shadows make you harder to see!)
  • Different biomes (snow, grass, mountains, sea, desert; screenshots above from the snow)



    All those features are already implemented. Couple of more things I am working on/planning:


  • Sound effects
  • Fog (waiting on JME3 support for it nudge nudge) :smiley:
  • Multiplayer support



    I have a baby on the way (could be born any day now!) – so I’m spending most of my time coding :smiley:

Yeah, minecraft and mythruna genre :).

Very nice, I like.



But… but… No video! :frowning: That I like less. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll work on getting up a video in the next day or two… I have lots of coding to do! :smiley:



Stuff I am working on right this moment:


  • Storyline (first phase complete, working on final two…)
  • Better item images (replace the “3D”-looking ones with more 2D/flat stuff like everything else) – anyone have any good sprites? :smiley:

@phr00t: I’m curious to know how that weapon was made. I guess it’s a flat plane with a texture with alpha channel :), that is equivalent to 4 vertices.

You got it -- textured quad using alpha. Makes it very fast to render and simple to make new objects. I use the same image for the inventory icon and item-on-the-ground-image too.

very nice, good job :), btw tralala recently released some code to turning an image into a 3d object, maybe it can be useful for your gun

Yeah, looking cool, good job!

When I was starting 3079, I was looking for something exactly like that... I will have to check it out - thanks :)

I've added it as a library into my project -- haven't implemented it yet, though... working on storyline stuff at the moment. Thanks again :)

Hei, your project looks interesting. Waiting some videos, hopefully soon :slight_smile:

14

I didn’t put up any videos yet since my game has no sound effects at the moment… a video would be so much better with them :confused:



I might put together a video (with some commentary?) tomorrow anyway, just to show off the gameplay a bit. :slight_smile:

15

Now with commentary video goodness!
