Some update and info about the future of Dogfight Elite VR:
The new update, usual you can get it at: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4340696/dogfightelite.apk
Improvements:
- Much better frame rate. I think it's close to 60fps now.
- Redesigned from scratch the Fokker E.III. A whole new cockpit with much more details!
Now... Dogfight Elite VR did not classify as a finalist on this contest and I do need some funding to complete it. So what now?
Well, I will continue working on it, the problem is that instead of a 1 more month release I was aiming for... it may be 1 year or more to actually see the whole thing done. Just to give you an idea of all things I need to work through to have the complete version:
- Remove all connection with Dogfight 1. I kept the network protocol compatible during this contest so that people could play multiplayer, but Dogfight Elite is a whole new version with more tanks, and over 20 more airplanes from World War II. It's not compatible with Dogfight so ones this contest is fully over, the network will be officially split.
- Yes, you've read right. I have to model 20 more airplanes. Some from WWI like this one I'm already working on: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4340696/plane1.jpg but many many more from World War II
- That means new mission types. That airplane for example is a two seats bomber. That means adding missions that allow players to sit on the same airplane and combine those with big bombing raid while others protect them. Then the tanks will have to attack from the ground while the airplanes on the sky will need to protect the tanks and the bombers and... you get the whole idea. Cooooo! :)
- Way better, cooler sound fx all over the game.
- Custom paint jobs! Yes, I want people to be able to paint their airplanes because there is a great unknown artist hidden in you!
- Squadrons combat! This will take a while to develop. Right now you can join a squadron but that's just basically a group of friends. The idea is to also allow for a squadron ranking a squadrons vs squadrons fights. Adding to that custom personalized insignias, a dedicated forum section per squadron and massive airplane online combats!
I hope that gave you an idea on what I'm working on and why I'm trying to get some funding. I want to speed up the process because right now it's only me working on the game.
I'll keep you posted during the process.
