Phoenix USC: Phoenix Universe of Space Combat

Showcase In Development
1

Hi,

I just joined the forum and will be positing here about my space combat MMO Phoenix Universe of Space Combat or Phoenix USC. My game project is a full scale MMO complete with an authoritative server. I am currently in the later prototyping stage of development and soon will have an alpha version to test. Phoenix USC is a spiritual remake of SubSpace and Continuum continuing the saga of MMO top-down shooters.

Phoenix USC is being developed in Godot 4 and is a recent conversion of a larger scale Godot 3 project. It uses rigid body physics and is based in 2D using tile map layers and real-time lighting for a unique style and look.

I have included a short video showing a client view of me testing 32 server controlled bots. The bots and players all work with a fully authoritative and encrypted server eliminating cheating. I have written my own server in Godot Script which handles everything including networking (via RPC) and all synchronization.

I will post more on my progress and details here as I continue on in development.

Just saying hello world at the moment. :slight_smile:

Hi, I have made a development video snapshot of my MMO Phoenix USC in action. In this video I do a map/base run-through while 32 bots battle for the base flag. All bots are server controlled and the view is from a client. If you are interested in Phoenix USC and how well Godot 4 preforms with a networked twitch style space combat shooter this is the video to see…

OMG, that looks amazing! Is the minimap jittery because of periodic updates or lag? How many players could you have on a single map?

I love the isometric view! Your ship explosions are beautiful!

Yup, for now the radar is updating every 200 milliseconds. I will improve this a bit so it looks nice or just smooth it out through linear interpolation.

Not sure on the number of players my goals is 100 on a server. I am glad you like what you see. :slight_smile:
