Remake of 20,000 Light Years Into Space using the Godot Game Engine
What was done so far?
07.04.2019 We can move around a camera. Basic visual (simple 3D plane).
Future road map
- Minimal experiment (moving camera, selecting buildings)
- porting the base of the game to Godot (ability to create pipes and nodes)
- adding natural disasters (storms, alien invasion and quakes)
- using existing art to finalize the prototype
FAQ
Can I contribute?
Yes, you are welcome especially on the scripting part
Why redoing it in Godot. Isn't just updating the existing game easier?
While the original game was written in python, not using a game engine makes it really hard to expand it and focus on the game.
Godot is a proven game engine which reduce the overall overhead. It also opens up to potential future visual improvements.
Can I play it?
WARNING. This version is not yet ready for general release. It is not a complete game. Currently if you want to play it's easier to use the original 2006 version. http://www.jwhitham.org/20kly/
What is the license?
It is avaliable under GPL just like the original game.
