Introduction, plus moon & skies update


Hi I'm introducing Storm Clouds over the Western Front to Itch.io.  Its an in-progress 2d aerial combat game set in WW1, although I do plan on covering more eras eventually.  The emphasis is on simulation of a realistic war experience, rather than cutesy, story based game.  I'll write more about the game in other updates later.

This particular update is partly to tell everyone still following me (via twitter or youtube) that the project is still alive, and has been progressing in the time since my last devlog video.

I also want to show off the new features I've coded:

  • 3d / parallax effect to clouds & flak
  • Realistic moon phases & position in sky (dark nights with no moon, bright nights with full moon - affects yours & AI's vision)
  • Fire barrels light airfields at night, helping reduce danger of landing your plane
  • Ability to skip the night if it all gets too scary

Please watch the video if you want to see these things in motion.
