Star Villains and Space Heroes - 3rd Person Space Combat!

[Nertea]

Hi all,

Thought I'd post what I do when I'm not modding KSP. I mean, you guys like space, right ?

Star Villains and Space Heroes is a 3rd person sci-fi space combat game - mostly arcade-like, but with a few concessions to physics - such as limited newtonian physics. Basically, you fly around in a large starship and engage in epic space battles, with a variety of weapons. It's pretty cool if I do say so myself.

I am the programmer/technical artist/FX person and my friend Alex does the majority of the 3D art and sounds. Here's a pair of trailers! The content is a bit old, but

Anyways, we've had a demo out for a while - you can grab it from our IndieDB page for Windows and Linux if you'd like to try it. The game is Unity-based, and I expect that if you can run KSP, you can run the demo. Here's some more screenshots, just because.

If this seems cool to you, we're currently developing the full version, which is waaay better than the demo. It should be out in not too long, every day I cross off a few things on the todo list. IndieDB and our Development Blog are probably the best places to watch development - we try to keep them updated with new content as we can. We do also have a website, but are currently working on a full-scale redo of it, so info is sparse there I'm afraid.

Let us know what you think!

Cheers!

Looks interesting.

Will it be available for the Mac?

It will - the demo build was having some issues on the one (rather obsolete) Mac that I have available for testing. We didn't want to release something that was broken, so the demo's not compiled for those.

The current beta though seems to run quite smoothly! So I'm quite hopeful that things will work out for the Apple people .

I just posted up another news update as well with a few new screenshots. The update is still awaiting authorization, but I hope it'll be up in a wee bit.

My iMac is 6 years old but is running Mavericks, so if you've got something more recent than 6 years, it will probably work pretty well for your development and testing purposes.

We just finished a new trailer with lots of current build footage!

In addition, a big website update was just released at www.svsh-game.com. We populated it with new screenshots, information about the universe, ship lists, the works, really.

Yeah, it was more of an issue of access to the computer as well.
