Re: 0.8.0 feedback
Hi Loaf! Thanks for reminding me about the captcha issue on the forum. I'd been meaning to fix it but didn't get a chance to, and eventually forgot about it. I will probably need to update the forum itself at the same time, so I'll look into it soon. I'm actually in Perth, Australia, so almost on op...

Re: 0.8.0 feedback
Hi Loaf! Sorry for the delay in responding, life is a bit heavy at times. No worries, I understand that all too well :) Very impressed with the newest build, everything seemed to work very well at my end. I must admit, I would love if at some point you put in an animated fighter pilot (and would be ...

Re: 0.8.0 feedback
Hi Loaf! I look forward to your feedback on the 0.8 build :) Now that Fractalus is using the Unity engine VR may be a possibility, however I've not had a chance to look into it. I still only have an Oculus DK1 and I'm not sure if it will work with current VR software, but when I get a chance I'll ho...

Re: 0.8.0 feedback
Hi Janne! - The original game placed stranded pilots usually down in ravines or lower level areas, not on steep hillsides as is so often the case on Fractalus. While these can be somewhat positively challenging landings, I wonder if the original take was a bit more realistic in this. Currently in Fr...

Re: Fractalus 0.7.0 alpha released!
Played it for a bit, it's still looking good. I'm glad you're still chipping away at this. The only thing is the game crashes everytime I try to change the controls, but other than that it's all working fine :) Sorry I missed this message! Do you have a game controller connected to your machine whe...

Re: Fractalus 0.6.0 alpha released
Hi Reflame and welcome to the forum! :D Thanks for your feedback! I'll respond to each of your sections below; In general I am aiming for an accurate-but-modernised remake of Fractalus, so I will be attempting to keep things as close to the original as possible - at least until v1.0, after which I w...
Re: Fractalus
Hi Nick and welcome to the forum! As for the flying saucers, they leave you alone at lower altitudes and shutting down the your ships systems when landed is how you break a turrets lock on you. I do remember that the saucers can't go below a certain point in the original. I will copy that behaviour ...
