I hope so, too.^^

When the game is finished I'll think about it.^^

Improved the whole thing, see the next video.^^

Thanks^^

It is possible with UDK. Currently we are focussing on getting the main gameplay part done.

Not yet. Currently I use the default UDK HUD with some minor changes in UnrealScript.
But I plan to dive into Flash and Scaleform later this month.

Great idea, onto it.

Thanks, I'm on it.

I'll take care of it when the basics of the MP are done.^^

Slot5 will feature both: pew-pew^^ and missles. Currently it depends on the ship you choose.
Currently the weapons are a low priority as there are some bugs to fix.

These cubes are placeholders until I take care of the HUD.

The terrain was made with World Machine.
The skybox is from spacescape

Awesome game.

How is the commerical version doing?

@Kodjeikov: Huge battleships need huge maps. UKD does not support maps that huge. The biggest we do will be a ship about 5 times larger than an one man fighter.
Carriership will be way bigger but unable to move.

Epic battles with a lot of fighters is goal. For now we are aiming for battles, squadron fighting squadron, aka 8 vs 8, although there can be up to 32 players on one map.

Slot5 will feature FPS segments, mainly small ones within stations e.g. switching ships, sabotage a reactor, etc.

Definitely. We will rework projectile code soon.

I announce hereby that I have joined the Slot5 Team in order to create an awesome space shooter. The basic idea remains unchanged.
A first result of our joint effort is shown in this video. Enjoy and stay tunded (subscribe to my YouTube Account ;-) ).
