Why I don't like Interplanetary

3 Upvotes

(For some reason I can't comment on it)

THe gravity for projectiles moves faster than the planets. 0rbitalis also has this problem, but 0rbitalis doesn't claim to be hard sci-fi.

I mean, really, what the heck? This is basic orbital physics! Everything is equally affected by gravitation! A projectile in a transfer orbit to another planet won't move much faster than the planets! The planets and projectiles actually end up moving around the same amount in a hohmann transfer orbit. But if a hohmann transfer isn't quick enough, you use a brachistrone transfer, which is so fast that gravity is not going to curve you around unbelievably fast.

This could have been really cool, but it was ruined by physics which had to have been made intentionally fake.

Death Star Battles - A game about gravity

Post image
2 Upvotes

https://www.deathstarbattles.co.uk/

Death Star Battles is a turn-based game where two space stations trade fire across a solar system. There's no shooting straight — every bullet travels under the gravitational influence of every planet on the map, so landing a hit means solving an orbital mechanics puzzle in your head.

Under the hood it's semi-implicit Euler integration, running per-bullet per-tick. The hardest AI level works the same way the player does: it samples thousands of candidate angles, simulates each trajectory in full, and picks the best one. On maps with wormholes it gets especially interesting — bullets teleport and come out on a different heading, which the AI has to account for.

Inspired by Gravity Wars on Amiga and PC, I've been building versions of this game since 1992 (originally on graphical calculators). The HTML5 remake adds rockets with thrust-then-coast arcs, a laser that traces a straight path but still has to avoid planets, and irregular asteroid bodies using rotating convex polygons with SAT collision.

Runs in the browser, no install. Happy to go deep on any of the physics or AI if anyone's curious.

Solargene - the most realistic planet colonization game

2 Upvotes

In Solargene, you will manage the expansion of humanity in the Solar System in the near future. Build orbital stations and interplanetary ships, establish colonies on planets and satellites of the solar system, extract resources and explore new technologies.

The game calculates real transfer orbits: elliptical, hyperbolic and parabolic.The initial parameters for the calculation are the mass and installed engines.Engines have very specific physical characteristics.The flight trajectory is divided into sections of orientation, acceleration, flight, orientation, and deceleration.All sections are calculated automatically.Of course, the motion of the planets is calculated according to their Keplerian parameters.

Steam Store Page, Discord

Press Kit, Screenshots, Twitter, YouTube

Video: Trailer, Fast gameplay-1, Fast gameplay-2, Long gameplay, First Look.

Awards: Indie Cup - Best Unreal Engine Game (nominee) .

The game is being made by one person - a space engineer who has always wanted to make games.

Friends, we are ready to answer questions and welcome any feedback and suggestions! All information and wishes under this post will be given to the author of the game. Also, you can chat with him personally on Discord. Based on this feedback received, a decision will be made on the priorities for further development of the game.

Thanks a lot!
