[B]Hello Facepunch![/B] I'd like to present you a small, yet very fun game, as title says, it's called A new zero. Game is [U]0.98[/U] MB, everything is generated when you launch the game.\ DOWNLOAD: [URL="http://www.crypticsea.com/anewzero/index.html"]http://www.crypticsea.com/anewzero/index.html[/URL] Description (taken from crypticsea.com/anewzero) : Everything in A New Zero is procedurally generated at run-time, meaning the entire game fits in one 516 KB executable (1/10,000th the size of Left 4 Dead). All textures, models, music and sound effects are created using complex algorithms, or sometimes simple algorithms. Also all of the design and programming is done by one person: me. A New Zero is a multiplayer vehicle simulation inspired by Red Baron, Tie Fighter, Mechwarrior 2, Joust, and some other stuff. It is currently in open beta. In the game, each player can respawn with vehicle using money which is rising slowly, or gained by trading. There are different types of vehicles such as: cargo boat, cargo plane, bomber plane, gun boat and so on. The goal is to destroy all capitals of your enemy. Players can place buildings on islands such as mines to dig "raw" goods, factories which make "raw" good into good. Goods can be traded using cargo planes or boats. You buy some goods from your island and take it to a neutral one, or to owned by you. Money you'll recive depends on amount of each "good" the island already has. Every island makes different type of goods. some screenshots [IMG]http://anewzero.wikispaces.com/file/view/fighterunderfirelop.jpg/113649185/fighterunderfirelop.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://anewzero.wikispaces.com/file/view/peacemakerrain.jpg/113922477/peacemakerrain.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://anewzero.wikispaces.com/file/view/anewzero04.jpg/113374841/anewzero04.jpg[/IMG] When i can, i host my server called "Silver's Server", playing it with many players is a lot of fun, so download and play ! :D
Cryptic Sea makes fun games, but they can get a little laggy for some weird reason.
Or you could've bumped my old thread about it. Also, the reason why it's laggy is because there are no actual graphics, only complex mathematic algorithms which are done by your processor.
It's CPU heavy, in other words.
The developer definitely has a lot of things to work on, but nonetheless, I like this game. The graphics are simple and flying and landing kills take time to get used to, so people may be put off initially. However, I see a lot of potential in this. It's very challenging you're rewarded once you get the hang of it. Beardy and I have been playing this a bit. More people ought to give it a try. It could be a love it or hate it thing. I like it.
What is happening with those graphics!?
What do you mean?
me and perf have been playing for a few minutes late night.
work on the controls its too hard to fly or shoot (for me anyways)
Much preffered the older version that didn't have trade or islands.
[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;21274116]work on the controls its too hard to fly or shoot (for me anyways)[/QUOTE] using the arrows to steer the plane and f to shoot, space to drop bomb/tank is too hard?
The flight controls are sensitive and take some getting used to. It's not like starfox where you just jam the joystick in the direction you want to go. It's a little more like microsoft flight sim, but easier in my opinion. [QUOTE=RayvenQ;21274817]Much preffered the older version that didn't have trade or islands.[/QUOTE] I did too, but the new updates have grown on me. The developer could possibly eliminate the trading, mining, and factory production for a small skirmish mode, but I say for all other occasions keep em. The buildings and islands give you more objectives and force you to think things out a little more. It's not simply just "fly plane from A to B, bomb, refuel, repeat" anymore. You build labs to unlock better vehicles, produce goods to trade, capture islands, and build defenses.
Anyone playing at the moment? I'll try it.
Yeah Ill try it if anyone is on.
Only one server with dumbshit idiot attacking teammates. Meh.
Was fun, I just traded the entire game.
post your logos mine is that red/white circle-face
I'm a plus sign. lol how do we change it? [editline]06:24PM[/editline] Nevermind, I see it.
Thanks for this!
Hopefully some guys from FP will start a server so we can actually play the game for real, you know, trading and such, not just nuking eachothers cities

It's such a great game, but AI is horribly annoying It's goddamn cheating, attacks at night, can see everything, amazing aim - even if you dodge every ball, it will hit your plane fighter after 3 shots from missile boat. And it seems that devs are dead lets play guys [editline]06:10PM[/editline] what the fuck Suddenly, I can't control any fucking plane I was pilot of the year yesterday, now I can't even take off this sucks
If you press E, the plane goes to autopilot - handy during bombing missions and when you want to keep on a straight and stable path. Could that be the problem?
Anyone playing at the moment?
when taking off with the plane, you have to go full throttle, and then near maybe around 5 feet from the edge, you have to tilt your plane up so that only the back end is touching it, it should lit off and keep on going up if you keep that tilt.
I know I know, it was everything great yesterday but now if I move my mouse slowly, I land on water, if only a little faster, I do a nice backflip I'll stay with boats and rant about amazing enemy accuracy
use the arrow keys for planes, that's what i do.
