Pre-Alpha demo. Testing new bot AI in a battle with 40 bot ships in a space base.
Hi,
I am getting much closer to releasing my pre-alpha demo for Phoenix USC. I have included a video and images showing off what Phoenix USC's pre-alpha demo will look and play like. In the video above I run through the first level of the maps base in a pretty intense and fast paced battle with 40 bot ships. I have added AI to the bot ships and in this video they will give you a feel for what the pre-alpha demo game play will be like as well as a glimpse at what online game play will look like. If you are a fan of SubSpace or Continuum you will love what I have done with Phoenix USC. I have also included images of bot's fighting it out in Phoenix USC's main base (current map).
I am on track to deliver the pre-alpha demo in about 30-45 days. The pre-alpha demo will be web based and should run at 60 FPS, 1080p on most systems with a decent video card and CPU. Later releases will be PC based and run nativity on your OS.
I have setup an ITCH.io page for Phoenix USC and I plan to release the pre-alpha demo there and here on IndieDB. After the game has reached the right level of quality I may move to Steam.
After years of hard work it is so nice to see actual space combat. :) I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to post any questions or comments.
Rock on!

I have game play! The HUD works as described in recent posted images and when I'm killed by a bot I end up in safe zone. The game play is AWESOME! Feels just like SS/Continuum.
I have skill option which simply increases the shield energy cost from a bot weapon. Set it low for a newbie or high for a pro. Makes it pretty challenging and fun. You guys are going to love this. :D
I have a test HTML / webassembly game front-end going on ITCH.io. It’s sort of a place holder and allows me to test things. Check it out.

Early access - I am going to to setup a test version of the Phoenix USC pre-alpha demo in less then two weeks. I will be handing out download keys to those following me on FaceBook, Twitter, IndieDB and YouTube. So if you know someone who wants get in early and help test Phoenix USC have them follow (officially) me so they will be notified.
I am going to upload the demo to ITCH.io where I can control things a bit and use their analytics as well as offer things like early access. In the future the Phoenix USC website may host a version as well.
As soon as I have a clearer date I'll post it. I should have an article posted here about it soon. Spread the word. :D
